Tin Lau, CRO of Mirae Asset Securities, shares insights on the evolving landscape of risk management in light of geopolitical instability and shifting macroeconomic conditions. He highlights how these changes are creating new challenges for financial institutions, urging them to think beyond traditional risk models.
Lau introduces a “three doctors approach” to navigating these uncertainties. The first stage, inspired by Dr. Feynman, encourages understanding complex problems by simplifying them for easier communication and continuous learning. The second stage, influenced by Dr. Strange, focuses on creative scenario analysis to model risk, recognizing that traditional methods are no longer sufficient in today’s volatile environment. Lastly, the Dr. Who stage stresses the importance of temporal awareness in evaluating the long-term impacts of geopolitical events, such as the strategic shifts caused by significant political figures.
Lau also discusses the broader implications of deregulation, particularly in the context of the changing regulatory landscape in the U.S. and Europe. He emphasizes the challenge financial institutions face as they adapt risk frameworks to navigate different regulatory environments while maintaining compliance across diverse global markets.
