Premier Exhibitor

CheckRisk is a new and leading provider of research and analysis into the underlying factors affecting risk in global financial markets.

Fundamentally, CheckRisk believes that the standard Value at Risk model, engaged in by financial markets, is flawed. The CheckRisk system, developed by Nick Bullman, who has 28 years experience in financial services with some of the world's leading financial institutions, uniquely combines economic and behavioural elements to bring new light to the issue of managing risk. Having launched in February of this year, CheckRisk produces risk analysis and consultancy, on a broad range of financial markets and issues. CheckRisk would be of interest to those who make decisions, not just regarding investments and the markets, but those who seek to understand what is happening in a broader global sense and how it might affect their business.
