Volatility as opportunity—Risk frameworks for listed-market portfolios

Member data shows that navigating market volatility remains one of the largest learning gaps across the WIN community, with strong interest in how experienced investors respond to uncertainty, market swings and shifting conditions.

In response, WIN has partnered with CMC Markets to host a curated roundtable exploring how seasoned investors approach volatility, uncover opportunity and make confident decisions in listed markets.

Led by Lel Smits and Rebecca Dillon, the session will combine current market context, practical risk frameworks and peer-level discussion. Together, they will explore volatility, opportunity identification, trading psychology and the discipline required to make informed decisions in listed markets. Rebecca will share insights from her work with CMC Markets' Alpha Invest clients, while Lel will provide market context and facilitate discussion throughout the session.

This session is designed for members who:

  • Have a strong interest in shares and ETFs

  • Are confident investors, or actively building confidence

  • Want to deepen their understanding of risk and volatility

  • Value thoughtful, peer-level discussion

Places are limited, with guest groups curated to ensure a relevant and high-quality conversation.

Format: Roundtable discussion
Date and time: 10 September 2026, 2-4pm
Location: Sydney
Attendance: By invitation
