(FVB). The FVB comprises seven non-university research institutes in Berlin which are funded by the federal and state governments. The research institutes belong to the Leibniz Association <https://www.leibniz-gemeinschaft.de/en>.

-- From: "Helmreich, Silvia" <silvia.helmreich(a)fh-vie.ac.at> -- Dear ladies and gentlemen, The master's study programme, "Quantitative Asset and Risk Management" (ARIMA), offered by the University of Applied Sciences Vienna, will be in its 13th year this autumn. Graduates of this programme have excellent career prospects: banks and insurers face growing regulatory requirements (Basel III and Basel IV, Solvency II), especially in the fields of risk management and regulatory reporting. Professionals with expertise in these fields are, therefore, in great demand. The numerous labels and accreditations earned by ARIMA graduates - PRMIA Accreditation, SAS Joint Certificate - confirm the high regard in which our graduates and the study programme are held. The high academic standards of the programme are attested to by the many awards for excellence received by our students for their master's theses (CFA Austria Prize, Springer Best Masters, award for outstanding achievement by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research). *** Applications for enrolment in 2018/19 are welcome until 6th June 2022 *** Internationalisation: The ARIMA programme, developed in cooperation with international partners, is funded by the EU's Joint Degree Curriculum Development Programme. As part of this programme, ARIMA students spend two weeks of the fourth semester at one of three partner universities located in Bologna (Italy), Iasi (Romania) and Katowice (Poland). Students also have the option to study abroad for a full semester at any of these locations, as well as in Xiamen (China) and Berlin. Students must choose one of the two options, i.e. a period of study abroad is compulsory. Due to the international focus of the programme and the diverse countries of origin of our students, the programme is run wholly in English. Prerequisites for enrolment in ARIMA: Applicants must have completed a social studies/business/natural science/ law/ technical degree with documented qualifications in economic sciences (at least 9 ECTS) and mathematics or statistics (at least 6 ECTS. The ARIMA programme runs over four semesters as a part-time course, making it an attractive option for working professionals wishing to expand their academic qualifications.

Call for paper - Vienna Symposium on Foreign Exchange Markets 2021
by Vienna Finance Newsletter 22 Jan '21

22 Jan '21

-- From: ISK Vienna - WU Research Institute for Capital Markets <isk(a)wu.ac.at> -- VIENNA SYMPOSIUM ON FOREIGN EXCHANGE MARKETS The WU Research Institute for Capital Markets (ISK) will organize the annual VIENNA SYMPOSIUM ON FOREIGN EXCHANGE MARKETS from August 23-24, 2021 in Vienna at Palais Coburg. We currently expect that the evolution of the pandemic will allow a residential format in August. To alleviate health concerns and broaden the audience, we will offer remote-participation alternatives. TOPIC Research on risk premia, factors, and predictive regressions has traditionally focused on equity markets, while research on foreign exchange has been lagging despite its huge potential. Currently, the low yield environment, large international portfolio flows and unconventional monetary policy have made it crucial for asset managers to incorporate FX strategies and FX risk management. We therefore welcome papers on FX risk premia, FX strategies, FX valuation, FX and monetary policy, Emerging Market currencies, currency pegs, FX regimes, FX and business cycle, etc. In addition to the above-mentioned research themes, we particularly encourage the submission of papers that deal with the interaction of FX and interest rates as well as interaction of FX and sovereign risk. SUBMISSION OF PAPERS Deadline for submission is March 1, 2021. To submit your paper please click here<https://www.wu.ac.at/en/isk/conferences/vsfx-2021/submission/>. Authors of accepted papers will be notified by April 30, 2020. BENEFITS There is no conference fee; presenters of accepted papers will receive free accommodation at the conference venue, lunches, and conference dinners. In addition, we have a limited number of travel grants available. PROGRAM COMMITTEE Chair of the Program Committee: Josef Zechner. Further members of the program committee are Georg Cejnek, Magnus Dahlquist, Zhengyang Jiang, Stephan Kranner, Otto Randl, Lucio Sarno, Andrea Vedolin, Christian Wagner, and Michael Weber. WINNER Best Paper Award By submitting to the conference your paper is also considered for the WINNER Best Paper Award 2021. This award is organized by ZZ Vermögensverwaltung and POK Pühringer Privatstiftung in collaboration with WU Vienna. The paper award committee will select the best paper to receive a EUR 10'000 prize. The award selection will be based on both the quality of the submitted paper and the conference presentation.

Invitation to Dockner Lecture, April 10th, 2019
by Vienna Finance Newsletter 23 Jan '19

23 Jan '19

-- From: "Schlichting, Martina" <Martina.Schlichting(a)wu.ac.at> -- ANNOUNCEMENT OF A SERIES OF LECTURES IN MEMORY OF ENGELBERT J. DOCKNER In April 2017 one of Austria's most renowned economists, Engelbert Dockner, passed away after a long and serious illness. In his Ph. D. thesis, Engelbert Dockner derived an elegant stability analysis of two-state optimal control models. Another of his path-breaking contributions is the 'blue bible' on `Differential Games in Economics and Management Science' (joint with Jorgensen, Long and Sorger). For most of his career, he was a professor of finance and worked on diverse topics such as asset pricing, risk dynamics, and financial market structures. In addition to his deep and broad research interests and his intellectual curiosity, Engelbert Dockner's trademark was his modest and well-balanced personality. He was highly regarded by his colleagues as an integrative person and arbitrator. After his diagnosis, he accepted his hard fate with equanimity. To commemorate Engelbert Dockner's achievements we launch the DOCKNER LECTURES, a series of events that will take place alternatingly at the three universities in Vienna with which he was affiliated during his career. The series will start on April 10th, 2019 at 4 pm, in Böcklsaal at the Vienna University of Technology with a lecture by Prof. Ngo Van Long from McGill University. In 2020 it will be continued with a talk at the University of Vienna, and in 2021 there will be a lecture at the WU Vienna University of Business and Economics.

17 May '18

-- From: Sandra Trenovatz <sandra(a)fam.tuwien.ac.at> -- First Announcement VISS 2018 - Vienna International Summer School "Machine Learning Methods and Data Analytics in Risk and Insurance" =================================================================== DATE: Monday, July 9 - Friday, July 13, 2018 LOCATION: TU Wien (Vienna University of Technology), Karlsplatz 13, 1040 Wien, Austria WEB PAGE: <https://fam.tuwien.ac.at/viss2018/> ORGANIZED BY: FAM @ TU Wien <https://fam.tuwien.ac.at/> SPONSOR(S): Wiener Städtische Versicherung - Vienna Insurance Group (Further sponsors are welcome) MAIN SPEAKERS: Prof. Dr. Gareth W. Peters, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK Prof. Dr. Pavel V. Shevchenko, Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia BRIEF OUTLINE: Machine learning and data analytics is an emerging field that is beginning to have a strong influence on the field of actuarial science practice. The onset of big data applications in insurance has driven the profession to explore new ways to understand data and modelling. Unlike in Google and Facebook type technology applications where huge data bases of labelled data are available, in the insurance context we are often considering unsupervised learning methods. This course will address core methodology to tackle unsupervised problems of relevance to insurance applications. SPECIAL INVITED LECTURES: Prof. Dr. Josef Teichmann, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Prof. Dr. Allan Hanbury, TU Wien, Austria LANGUAGE: English PARTICIPANTS: Practicing actuaries as well as researchers and advanced students with a good general knowledge of probability and statistics. CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: Actuaries can earn 25-30 CPD points for attendance to this Vienna International Summer School. The number of CPD points will be fixed as soon as the schedule is finalized. EARLY REGISTRATION: For early registrations until June 10, 2018, a discount is allowed. <https://fam.tuwien.ac.at/viss2018/registration.php> For any requests, do not hesitate to write an e-mail to the VISS 2018 secretary: <viss2018(a)fam.tuwien.ac.at>

Professionals with expertise in these fields are, therefore, in great demand. The numerous labels and accreditations earned by ARIMA graduates - PRMIA Accreditation, SAS Joint Certificate - confirm the high regard in which our graduates and the study programme are held. The high academic standards of the programme are attested to by the many awards for excellence received by our students for their master's theses (CFA Austria Prize, Springer Best Masters, award for outstanding achievement by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research). *** Applications for enrolment in 2018/19 are welcome until 15 May 2018 *** Internationalisation: The ARIMA programme, developed in cooperation with international partners, is funded by the EU's Joint Degree Curriculum Development Programme. As part of this programme, ARIMA students spend two weeks of the fourth semester at one of three partner universities located in Bologna (Italy), Iasi (Romania) and Katowice (Poland). Students also have the option to study abroad for a full semester at any of these locations, as well as in Xiamen (China) and Moscow (Russia). Students must choose one of the two options, i.e. a period of study abroad is compulsory. Due to the international focus of the programme and the diverse countries of origin of our students, the programme is run wholly in English. Prerequisites for enrolment in ARIMA: Applicants must have completed a social studies/business/natural science/ law/ technical degree with documented qualifications in economic sciences (at least 9 ECTS) and mathematics or statistics (at least 6 ECTS). For applicants having too few ECTS in mathematics and statistics our university offers a bridging course with 3 ECTS. This course is offered free of charge. The ARIMA programme runs over four semesters as a part-time course, making it an attractive option for working professionals wishing to expand their academic qualifications. If we have piqued your interest in our programme we would welcome your application. Perhaps you have colleagues in your organisation who might be interested in this opportunity? If so, then please forward this invitation. If you have any questions then please contact Silvia Helmreich (silvia.helmreich(a)fh-vie.ac.at<mailto:silvia.helmreich@fh-vie.ac.at>) or visit our website at https://www.fh-vie.ac.at/en/Studies/Master/Quantitative-Asset-and-Risk-Mana… ________________________________ Fachhochschule des BFI Wien GmbH | Rechtsform: Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung | Sitz: Politische Gemeinde Wien | FN 148597a | Handelsgericht Wien One attachment has been removed.

by Vienna Finance Newsletter 20 Apr '18

20 Apr '18

-- From: "Helmreich, Silvia" <silvia.helmreich(a)fh-vie.ac.at> -- Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, Der Studiengang "Quantitative Asset and Risk Management" (kurz: ARIMA) startet heuer im Herbst zum 10. Mal und unsere AbsolventInnen haben hervorragende Chancen auf dem momentan doch recht schwierigen Arbeitsmarkt. Gerade im Bereich "Risikomanagement" und "Regulatory Reporting" suchen Banken und Versicherungen verstärkt Personal, um den regulatorischen Herausforderungen - Basel III (IV), Solvency II - gerecht werden zu koennen. Zahlreiche erhaltene Industrie-Labels - PRMIA Akkreditierung, SAS Joint Certificate, ISO 31000 Risikozertifizierung - belegen die Anerkennung des Studienprogrammes in der Wirtschaft. Diverse Praemierungen der Masterarbeiten unserer Studierenden in den vergangenen Jahren (CFA Austria Prize, Springer Best Masters, Wuerdigungspreis des Wissenschaftsministeriums) zeugen von der Qualitaet der wissenschaftlichen Ausbildung. ***Für das kommende Studienjahr 18/19 werden noch Bewerbungen bis zum 15.05.2018 entgegen genommen.*** Internationalisierung: Die Entwicklung dieses Programmes erfolgte gemeinsam mit internationalen Partneruniversitaeten und wurde von der EU als Joint Degree Curriculum Development Programm gefoerdert. Im 4. Semester findet daher ein verpflichtender Auslandsaufenthalt (mindestens zwei Wochen) bei einer der Partneruniversitaeten in Bologna, Iasi oder Katowice statt. Daraus ergibt sich auch, dass die Unterrichtssprache durchgaengig Englisch ist. Weitere Möglichkeiten zum Studierendenaustausch besteht mit der University of Xiamen (China) und der Higher School of Economics in Moskau. Voraussetzungen zur Teilnahme am Masterprogramm: Im Anschluss an ein wirtschafts-, sozial-, natur- oder rechtswissenschaftliches oder technisches Studium einer Universitaet oder Fachhochschule kann der vier Semester umfassende und berufsbegleitend organisierte Masterstudiengang ARIMA absolviert werden. Weiters muessen besuchte Lehrveranstaltungen im Bereich Mathematik/Statisitk und Wirtschaftswissenschaften nachgewiesen werden. Wir hoffen, Ihr Interesse fuer den Studiengang geweckt zu haben und wuerden uns sehr freuen, wenn Sie dieses Schreiben an weiterbildungsinteressierte Personen in Ihrem Unternehmen weiterleiten wuerden. Fuer weitere Fragen stehen wir Ihnen gerne zur Verfuegung (silvia.helmreich(a)fh-vie.ac.at) oder besuchen Sie unsere homepage: https://www.fh-vie.ac.at/en/Studies/Master/Quantitative-Asset-and-Risk-Mana… ________________________________ Fachhochschule des BFI Wien GmbH | Rechtsform: Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung | Sitz: Politische Gemeinde Wien | FN 148597a | Handelsgericht Wien

-- From: "Fuchs, Daniela" <Daniela.Fuchs(a)wu.ac.at> -- CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT WU Gutmann Center Symposia 2017: “Financial Advice and Asset Management” June 19, 2017; 9:00 - 17:30 WU Vienna, Austria The WU Gutmann Center for Portfolio Management is proud to invite you to its ninth symposium - WU Gutmann Center Symposia 2017: “Financial Advice and Asset Management” on June 19 2017, at WU Wien (Vienna University of Economics and Business) Welthandelsplatz1, Festsaal 1, 1020 Vienna, Austria. TOPIC The financial crisis has revived the interest in the role of financial advice and in particular the standards that financial advisors should be held to. While financial advice is an essential part of asset management, policy-makers are concerned about conflicts of interests between financial advisors and their clients. The WU Gutmann Symposium 2017 addresses various aspects of financial advice and asset management. The speakers shed light on the underlying factors, including behavioral aspects, and market structure that influence these conflicts of interests and thereby the quality of financial advice. In addition, they highlight possible solutions to deal with the incentive problems. REGISTRATION Participation is free of charge. To register please click on this link: www.conftool.com/wugcs2017/<https://www.conftool.com/wugcs2017/index.php?page=participate> You will be redirected to our conference management system where you will be asked to create an account.

Reminder - INVITATION March 09: WU Gutmann Center Public Lecture - Jonathan Berk: “Removing the Veil: How Money Management Actually Works”
by Vienna Finance Newsletter 01 Mar '17

01 Mar '17

-- From: "gutmann-center(a)wu.ac.at" <gutmann-center(a)wu.ac.at> -- Reminder - INVITATION The WU Gutmann Center cordially invites you to the forthcoming WU GUTMANN CENTER PUBLIC LECTURE (apologies for duplicated mails!) Date: Thursday, March 09, 2017 4:00 pm Location: Bank Gutmann, Schwarzenbergplatz 16, A-1010 Vienna Speaker: Prof. Jonathan Berk https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/faculty-research/faculty/jonathan-b-berk Title: “Removing the Veil: How Money Management Actually Works” Abstract There is perhaps no question in money management as controversial as the question of whether active mutual fund managers can outperform monkeys throwing darts. It has been known for a long time that investors are no better off investing with the average active manager than they are just indexing their money. Based on this evidence, many people conclude that active managers lack skill. Yet the amount of money in active management has grown enormously. If these managers have no skill, why do investors continue to invest with them? We argue that active fund managers are skilled and, on average, have used their skill to generate about $3.2 million per year. Large cross-sectional differences in skill persist for as long as ten years. Investors recognize this skill and reward it by investing more capital in funds managed by better managers. These funds earn higher aggregate fees, and a strong positive correlation exists between current compensation and future performance. About Jonathan Berk Jonathan Berk is the A.P. Giannini Professor of Finance at the Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB). His research covers a broad range of topics in finance, including delegated money management; the pricing of financial assets; valuing a firm’s growth potential; the capital structure decision; and the interaction between labor markets and financial markets. Professor Berk has coauthored two finance textbooks: Corporate Finance and Fundamentals in Finance. The first edition of Corporate Finance is the most successful first edition textbook ever published in financial economics, and is a standard text in almost all top MBA programs around the world. Professor Berk’s research is internationally recognized and has won numerous awards, including the TIAA-CREF Paul A. Samuelson Award, the Smith Breeden Prize, Best Paper of the Year in the Review of Financial Studies, and the FAME Research Prize. His article, “A Critique of Size-Related Anomalies,” was selected as one of the two best papers ever published in the Review of Financial Studies, and was also honored as one of the 100 seminal papers published by Oxford University Press. In recognition of his influence on the practice of finance, he has received the Graham and Dodd Award of Excellence, the Roger F. Murray Prize, and the Bernstein Fabozzi/Jacobs Levy Award. Professor Berk received his PhD in finance from Yale University. Before joining Stanford he was the Sylvan Coleman Professor of Finance at Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley. He was born and grew up in Johannesburg, South Africa. **Please REGISTER**: Mail: gutmann-center(a)wu.ac.at<mailto:gutmann-center@wu.ac.at> Phone: +43-1-31336-5238 CONTACT AND FURTHER INFORMATION: WU Gutmann Center for Portfolio Management WU (Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien) Department of Finance, Accounting and Statistics Sabina Krickl www.gutmann-center.at<http://www.gutmann-center.at> Please contact gutmann-center(a)wu.ac.at<mailto:gutmann-center@wu.ac.at> if you do not wish to receive any further invitations from us!

Reminder: INVITATION January 17: WU Gutmann Center Public Lecture - Kent Smetters: A Sharper Ratio
by Vienna Finance Newsletter 11 Jan '17

11 Jan '17

-- From: "gutmann-center(a)wu.ac.at" <gutmann-center(a)wu.ac.at> -- Reminder - INVITATION The WU Gutmann Center cordially invites you to the forthcoming WU GUTMANN CENTER PUBLIC LECTURE (apologies for duplicated mails!) Date: Tuesday, January 17, 2017 4:00 pm Location: Bank Gutmann, Schwarzenbergplatz 16, A-1010 Vienna Speaker: Prof. Kent Smetters https://bepp.wharton.upenn.edu/profile/smetters/ Title: "A Sharper Ratio" Abstract Deriving a sufficient statistic for the standard Expected Utility (EU) problem with a risk-free asset and a risky asset following a non-Normal risk distribution has been a problem that has dogged economists since at least Samuelson (1970). This problem is only heightened by modern trading strategies that produce non-Normal returns and where the classic Sharpe Ratio is no longer sufficient. We prove a new lemma about root selection in a complex plane, allowing us to derive a minimal, sufficient statistic that requires less information than the original EU problem. Moreover, we prove that the sufficient statistic transforms non-Normal, non-identical risks into a Normally-distributed function space, while preserving the original EU ordering. As a result, the sufficient statistic supports parametric-based hypothesis testing, which we show is substantially more powerful than non-parametric hypothesis testing required for the EU problem. About Kent Smetters Kent Smetters is the Boettner Chair Professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School and a Faculty Research Fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research. His research focuses on applied theory, optimal fiscal policy, personal finance and asset pricing.

Reminder: INVITATION December 05: WU Gutmann Center Public Lecture - Elroy Dimson: Does Hiking Damage Your Wealth?
by Vienna Finance Newsletter 30 Nov '16

30 Nov '16

-- From: "gutmann-center(a)wu.ac.at" <gutmann-center(a)wu.ac.at> -- Reminder: INVITATION The WU Gutmann Center cordially invites you to the forthcoming WU GUTMANN CENTER PUBLIC LECTURE (apologies for duplicated mails!) Date: Monday, December 5, 2016 4:00 pm Location: Bank Gutmann, Schwarzenbergplatz 16, A-1010 Vienna Speaker: Prof. Elroy Dimson https://www.london.edu/faculty-and-research/faculty/profiles/dimson-e#.V2fc… Title: "Does Hiking Damage Your Wealth?" Abstract Investors are preoccupied with the impact on financial markets of changes in central-bank interest rates. We use over a century of daily US returns together with 85 years of UK data to examine the immediate effect of rate hikes and cuts on stock and bond markets. We also look globally at the impact of interest rate changes on equity and bond returns using annual data for 21 countries from 1900 to 2015. Using a trading strategy that avoids look-ahead bias, we compare returns over entire interest rate hiking and easing cycles for equities, bonds, bills, currencies, and risk premia. We analyze long-term returns from industry sectors and factors such as size, value, carry and momentum, and also study real asset returns since 1900 on precious metals, collectibles and real estate. In all cases, hiking cycles damage your wealth compared to easing cycles.

INVITATION December 05: WU Gutmann Center Public Lecture - Elroy Dimson: Does Hiking Damage Your Wealth?

-- From: "gutmann-center(a)wu.ac.at" <gutmann-center(a)wu.ac.at> -- INVITATION The WU Gutmann Center cordially invites you to the forthcoming WU GUTMANN CENTER PUBLIC LECTURE (apologies for duplicated mails!) Date: Monday, December 5, 2016 4:00 pm Location: Bank Gutmann, Schwarzenbergplatz 16, A-1010 Vienna Speaker: Prof. Elroy Dimson https://www.london.edu/faculty-and-research/faculty/profiles/dimson-e#.V2fc… Title: "Does Hiking Damage Your Wealth?" Abstract Investors are preoccupied with the impact on financial markets of changes in central-bank interest rates. We use over a century of daily US returns together with 85 years of UK data to examine the immediate effect of rate hikes and cuts on stock and bond markets. We also look globally at the impact of interest rate changes on equity and bond returns using annual data for 21 countries from 1900 to 2015. Using a trading strategy that avoids look-ahead bias, we compare returns over entire interest rate hiking and easing cycles for equities, bonds, bills, currencies, and risk premia. We analyze long-term returns from industry sectors and factors such as size, value, carry and momentum, and also study real asset returns since 1900 on precious metals, collectibles and real estate. In all cases, hiking cycles damage your wealth compared to easing cycles.
