Exclusive Risk Management Lecture at Basel University by Prof. Lieven Baele from TIAS Tilburg University

Last week, our MBA-Finance students had the exceptional opportunity to participate in a Risk Managementcourse led by the esteemed Prof. Lieven Baele from TIAS/University of Tilburg. The course was met with great enthusiasm as it explored a critical aspect of business: managing financial risks that often lie outside the core operations.

Many companies encounter risks they cannot directly control—such as currency risk, interest rate risk, and commodity price risk. These uncertainties can significantly affect cash flows and overall company value. Prof. Baele’s course provided in-depth insights into how these risks can be measured and managed, which risks should be mitigated, and why effective risk management is essential.

A big thank you to Prof. Dr. Lieven Baele for his invaluable insights and engaging instruction!
