From infrastructure and real estate to private equity - opportunities and (ESG) risks of AI

Alternative investments (AI) such as private equity, private debt, infrastructure or real estate are an important component in the capital investments of investors, particularly insurers, banks, pension funds, asset managers and capital management companies. AIs are heterogeneous, complex and raise many multidisciplinary questions at the interface between regulation, risk management and other processes.

The module deals with the characteristics, opportunities and risks of AI in contrast to traditional investments. The risks of the individual AI classes and ESG risks are discussed. The standard market asset-specific procedures for risk management and valuation are discussed on the basis of practical cases.
