Risks need to be recorded, measured and monitored. The story of risk has its roots in the calculation of likelihood and is closely connected to the insurance business.

Risikomanagement in Finanzinstitutionen

In financial institutions risk management has increasingly become a central theme because the amount of types of risk have increased. Apart from credit and market risks, systemic and IT risks play a central role.

Finanzinnovationen und Risikotransfer auf Kapitalmärkten: Grundsätzliches und Aktuelles

Since centuries capital markets play a key role in the allocation of risk. They improve the possibilities for individuals as well as institutions to diversify or transfer part of their risks more efficiently.

Risiken bei systemrelevanten Institutionen: wirtschaftspolitische Analyse am Beispiel der Schweiz

The financial crisis has demonstrated the enormous economic costs of the failure of systemically relevant financial institutions.

Die Praxis der Übernahmekommission im Jahr 2015

Im Jahr 2015 verlief der Übernahmemarkt in ruhigen Bahnen, zumindest was die Anzahl öffentlicher Übernahmeangebote betraf. Lediglich zwei Übernahmeange­bote lagen der Übernahmekommission zur Prüfung vor: Das Pflichtangebot auf die Aktien der Sulzer AG sowie das freiwillige Angebot auf die Titel der Micronas Semi­conductor Holding AG. Ungeachtet dessen verzeichnete das Jahr 2015 einen kräftigen…

Öffentliche Übernahmen von Publikumsgesellschaften: Möglichkeiten und Schranken des Einsatzes von Mitteln der zivilrechtlichen Rechtsdurchsetzung

Civil claims may be raised in the context of public tender offer proceedings. From a timing perspective, however, civil proceedings and public tender offer proceedings can hardly be synchronized.

Based on two practical examples, the present article explores the…
