The turbulent market of a mere few months ago has reached a new highpoint. And as the heat continues to rise, some feel that a meltdown of the financial market may be closer than anticipated. The effects can be felt throughout the institutional investor community, as many look to sell their securities in favor of less risky investments. RiskMetrics Group will hold a webcast, Financial Markets: The Financial Storm Continues for Institutional Investors, on Tuesday, September 23 at 1:30 p.m. EDT.

With the federal government bailouts of some of the world’s leading financial institutions and the mounting fear and anxiety felt by investors globally, it is essential for institutional investors to have the latest information and insight in order to make sound portfolio decisions. During this webcast, RiskMetrics Group’s Financial Research & Analysis Financial Sector senior analysts, Zach Gast, Nathan Powell and Kevin Mixon, will share their forensic accounting perspective as it relates to:

-The impacts on the broader financial sector, including the federal government’s response, counterparty risk and fair value accounting;
