Mobey Forum’s Guide to Risk Management in Mobile Financial Services
This webinar is based on the Mobey Forum’s report, the first of two parts, and uses a standardised risk management approach to provide financial institutions with an overview of risk management in MFS, relative to the mobile device environment. To assist with risk evaluation it describes the identified threats and classifies them into twelve categories. An analysis of the risk level is then provided for each category based upon likelihood of its occurrence together with its anticipated impact.
The report contends that one of the highest risks still resides with the end user, the customer. Techniques that target the person rather than the device, such as social engineering and phishing, are often used by criminals to gain (sensitive) information that enables subsequent attacks to be launched, leading to fraud. Impersonation of the customer during the registration for or installation of a mobile financial service or during the mobile financial service transaction itself is also highlighted and examined.
Mobey Forum is now developing a second accompanying report, providing guidance to financial institutions on mitigation measures and best practices to reduce the risks identified.

The Economic Effects of the Coronavirus Mar 31 2020 3:00 pm UTC 60 mins
Investment Management Thought LeadersWhen the producer of the world's products closes its factories - what happens to markets? On December 31st, the Coronavirus, or "COVID 19", was discovered in Wuhan, China.
Because of the ease with which the disease was spreading, and in seeking to contain what has turned into a pandemic, the Chinese government issued a mandate to close factories and make sure people stayed home.
China has a population that travels twice as much as it did in 2003 when SARS happened. They also have massive involvement in global trade. So, investors are trying to identify what they can expect from the economy moving forward and where the opportunities are as the market looks for both short and long-term alternative options for the products and services China has historically provided.
This webinar will cover the economic effect of the Coronavirus on:
- Energy markets
- The Travel Industry
- Globally-connected supply chains
- Investing alongside Headline risk

Impact Investing and SDGs Agenda: Filling the finance gap for 2030 UN objectives Mar 11 2020 2:00 pm UTC 60 mins
Diane Menville, Head of ESG, Scope GroupFollowing GIIN’s 2018 Annual Impact Investor Survey, more than half of impact investors reported tracking some or all of their impact performance against the SDGs.
SDGs definition and framework for a better future offer the potential of standard and measurements for impact investing while catalyzing investments towards the goals. They can be a support to shift the focus of market participants towards positive impact investments, whereas the integration of ESG is considered as a tool for prudent risk management. Still, aligning SDGs is not as easy, we will go through:
- progresses
- hurdles
- requirements to scale up
The presentation will use concrete examples to illustrate the difficulties in implementing impact investing & what should be the focus of attention. -
The Third Era of Integrating ESG Into Investment Processes Mar 10 2020 9:00 pm UTC 60 mins
Bahar Gidwani, CFA, FSA Co-founder & CTO, CSRHubWe appear to be entering the third era of ESG (Environment, Social, and Governance) investment integration. Existing data sets have been broadened to improve their coverage and their providers have clarified their methodologies. New data sets are available that offer insights that were not previously available. A wider range of asset owners are requesting investment products that have sustainability-related claims. This has prompted the creation of passive ETFs, single theme funds (e.g., gender lens, decarbonized), and various types of hedge funds (including long-short and short-only offerings).
The first generation of ESG investors used data on topics such as product involvement (alcohol, tobacco, gambling) or business practices (anti-union, involvement in Burma) to screen out “bad” companies. The second generation of ESG investors decided that a company’s sustainability performance should be related to its riskiness and/or its financial performance. Third generation investors appear to be looking for:
-A consistent signal. Investors want to integrate as much of the available ESG information as possible into factors that are comparable across all companies, industries, and countries.
-Broad coverage. ESG data influences investment in large cap, small cap, and emerging market equities. It is also increasingly important in fixed income investment processes.
-Many years of data history. Most portfolio management and quantitative analysis systems perform better when at least five years (and ideally ten years) of history is available.
-Integration with other sources of data. Investors would like ESG piped to their desktop and already linked with the other financial and market return data they normally use.
New ESG data providers are emerging that seek to meet these needs. The leader of this webinar, Bahar Gidwani, is a co-founder of one of these providers. -
Do You Care: How AI Accelerates Sustainable Investment in Cities Mar 10 2020 8:00 pm UTC 60 mins
Ed Sewell, CEO and Founder, Velocity AIThe idea of a “smart city” has grown from a novel idea into an innovative way to solve many environmental, social and governance (ESG) problems around the world. During this webinar, we will discuss how AI can help accelerate return on investment (ROI) in ESG investments. We will also examine use cases that have enabled diverse stakeholders to create value for customers. Research has shown, a common barrier to solving problems linked to sustainability is a lack of private sector funding. Funding is needed to invest in critical infrastructure and care for basic human needs everyone has in common - for example - access to clean energy, healthcare and housing to name a few. To that end, private sector collaboration in smart city initiatives require a simple, market - based approach with incentives aligned to profitability. This is the clear path to achieve our shared goal of sustainability, global scale and impact.
Takeaways:
- Reasons for investors to care about ESG issues
- How to use AI to accelerate return on investment (ROI)
- Examination of smart city use cases that create value for stakeholders

ESG Risk & Reporting for Alternative Investments & EU Institutional Investors Mar 10 2020 11:00 am UTC 45 mins
Jegor Tokarevich, CEO, SOF (Substance Over Form Ltd.)Content
- Various ESG regulations and guidelines are currently under development on different EU and national levels
- On the EU level “the big 4” is under development including the EU taxonomy, the benchmarking regulation, the disclosure regulation and the Green Bond Standards
- EU supervisors (EIOPA, EBA, ESMA) are developing ESG guidelines for insurers, pension funds, banks and asset managers on the EU level
- National supervisors (e.g. BaFin in Germany, PRA in UK) are also developing guidelines for the national undertakings
- All regulations have in common that they distinguish between ESG-related financial risks (loss in market value of an asset) and the (positive / negative) impact on the environment and society
- ESG risk management will become an obligatory requirement for all asset classes and will be part of the regular investment and risk processes for all asset owners and asset managers
- Illiquid asset classes are very different from liquid asset classes due to the lack of data
- Therefore, ESG risk management approaches have to be implemented that take into account the lack of publicly available data for alternative investments
- This can be done through an ESG input management process where GP’s and portfolio companies deliver the relevant ESG data on a regular basis
- LP’s can use such ESG data for the standardised ESG risk reporting enabling them to compare different GP’s and asset classes in terms of the ESG risk and fulfil their regulatory requirements
- Concrete case studies will be discussed

Towards the SDGs: The Growing Trend Toward Regulation Recorded: Feb 26 2020 58 mins
Kate Larsen, SupplyESChange | Martina Macpherson, Moody’s Investors Service Assessments | Dr. Reiner HengstmannThis podcast discusses for Investors the recent and emerging new regulations requiring companies to undertake Human Rights (Social) and Environmental Due Diligence, and on their global supply chains, and the ESG implications.
Our speakers include two with significant experience managing and reporting on the Environmental and Social risks in supply chains, especially Asia, for large listed companies, dealing with Modern Slavery risk and reporting, and participating in various industry initiatives and inputting to sector standards, guidelines and laws, and one with significant experience from the Investor side. The UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) outlined the steps companies should take to show respect for human rights, and this was further outlined in the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises on Responsible Business Conduct and OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Business Conduct, and sector specific due diligence guidance. These standards have been further referenced in the Guidance for relevant business to implement it’s obligations under the UK Modern Slavery Act Transparency in Supply Chains clause, and similar Australian legislation. France requires large companies to publish regarding their Business Human Rights Due diligence steps and there are now discussions for similar law in Germany or at the EU level. When Supply Chain Environmental and Social/ Human Rights Due Diligence is implemented effectively, the positive outcomes can include Social Impacts such as contributing to delivery of many of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (the SDGs), particularly SDG 8 Decent Work and SDG 1 No Poverty.
This podcast will look into potential new regulations and the drivers behind it, discuss other ESG and investor related emerging legislation, and provide tips for how Investors might analyse ESG and related HRDD reporting by companies to assess ESG risk management and impact.
