General Description

Designed for executives and managers who need to set corporate priorities and policies for trading and risk management.  The course starts by examining the nature of electricity and energy markets and the "risk management mindset". The seminar next addresses how to develop your organization's risk management policies and procedures including strategy, enforcement, risk limits and the Gamma Criterion. The program then explores defining the corporate portfolio, valuing the portfolio using a payoff diagram and how to use hedging to meet your organization's portfolio objectives.  Presented by John Wengler and based on his book Managing Energy Risk: A Nontechnical Guide to Markets, Trading and Risk (PennWell Books, 2001.)
