The fifth edition of the Market Data Workshop organised by the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) will now hold on Friday, November 13, 2020.
The event, which is being put together in partnership with InfoWARE Limited, was earlier scheduled for last month, but the #EndSARS protest and the violence that erupted thereafter, prompted the organisers to postpone the event.
On Tuesday, the stock exchange issued a statement to announce the date for the seminar, which will take place virtually.
The aim of the event is to bring together industry professionals to provide capital market stakeholders, particularly risk managers, portfolio managers and market data experts, with insights into the importance of market data in developing risk strategies during a crisis.
The workshop is themed Handling Shocks in the Capital Market: A Quantitative Risk Management Approach Using Market Data.
Confirmed speakers at the event include Oladipupo Oyefuga, Head, Risk, Stanbic IBTC Bank; Dr Olaoluwa Simon Yaya, Sub Dean, Faculty of Science, University of Ibadan (Researcher); Tapa Das, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), NG Clearing Limited; Felix Egbon, Group Head, Risk Management, Zenith Bank Plc; Uwa Agbonile, CEO and Chief Software Architect, Infoware Limited; Lilian Olubi, CEO, EFG-Hermes; Saheed Bashir, CEO, Meristem Stockbrokers Limited; Carl Larry, Principal Consultant, Oil Outlooks and Opinions LLC; and Benedict Whittam Smith, Director, Deontic Data Limited.
Other sponsors of the 2020 NSE Market Data Workshop are Zenith Bank, EFG-Hermes, WCM Capital, Apel Asset Limited, Investor Hangout, Cordros Capital, CSL Stockbrokers, NG Clearing Limited and Meristem.
