Title: "Unrecognized Risk Taking in Financial Markets"
Abstract
Risk-taking is an essential activity in financial markets. Standard models assume that economic agents pay attention to all relevant information, are unbiased in their assessment of risk, and dispassionately match the risks they take to consistent preferences. In practice, however, investors have limited attention, display persistent biases when assessing risk, and have inconsistent preferences. Furthermore, risk-taking is influenced by emotions. Thus investors often take risks that they neither recognize nor intend to take. Those who rely on mathematical models may actually be more, not less, prone to unintended risk-taking.

INVESTMENT TALK
Date: Wednesday, June 15th, 2016 at 4 pm
Speaker: SHERIDAN TITMAN
Topic: "Stock Return Predictability"
ABSTRACT:
Stock returns have exhibited substantial cross-sectional predictability over the past 50 years. In addition to relatively short-term predictability that relates to return reversals and momentum, there is strong evidence of longer-term predictability that relates to firm fundamentals, like value, profitability and asset growth. There are three possible explanations for this evidence of long-term cross-sectional predictability. The first is that the observed return premiums are compensation for systematic risk, the second is that these observations are the product of data mining, and the third is that investors made a mistake about a systematic source of risk. Our analysis supports the third explanation and identifies a particular source of a mistake that relates to the perceived innovation climate, which influences both the creation and destruction of businesses.
SHERIDAN TITMAN
holds the McAllister Centennial Chair in Financial Services at the University of Texas at Austin and is a Research Associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research. Prior to joining the faculty at the University of Texas, Sheridan was a Professor at UCLA, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and Boston College and spent the 1988-89 academic year in Washington D.C. as the special assistant to the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy. Sheridan's academic publications include both theoretical and empirical articles on asset pricing, corporate finance, energy finance, real estate finance and urban economics. He has also co-authored three finance textbooks, Financial Markets and Corporate Strategy, Valuation: The Art and Science of Corporate Investment Decisions, and Financial Management: Principles and Applications. He won the Smith-Breeden best paper award for the Journal of Finance, the GSAM best paper award for the Review of Finance and was a recipient of the Batterymarch Fellowship. Sheridan has served on the editorial boards of leading academic journals, including the Journal of Finance and the Review of Financial Studies and has served as President of both the Western Finance Association and the American Finance Association and has served as a Director of the American Finance Association, the Western Finance Association, the Financial Management Association and the Asia Pacific Finance Association. He is currently the Vice President of the American Real Estate and Urban Economics Association.
Sheridan has a B.S. from the University of Colorado and an M.S. and Ph.D. from Carnegie Mellon University.

Title: "The demand for diversification in incomplete markets"
Abstract
Endogenous diversification in a market with incomplete information generates a state-dependent premium for bearing idiosyncratic risk because time series variation in average idiosyncratic risk affects the disutility of under-diversification. This idea delivers a metric that maps the marginal disutility of under-diversification to the covariance of idiosyncratic risk with average idiosyncratic risk. The metric helps explain the cross-section of returns in the US between 1973 and 2014, especially in periods of low average idiosyncratic risk. In such periods, portfolios tests generate intercepts from three and five-factor models that are economically large, and present in both small and large capitalization stocks. We observe similarly large intercepts in markets outside the US, particularly in large stocks.
About Sunil Wahal
Dr. Sunil Wahal is the Jack D. Furst Professor of Finance at ASU W. P. Carey School of Business. Before joining the ASU faculty in 2005, Dr. Wahal was on the faculty at the Goizueta Business School, Emory University, and at the Krannert School of Management, Purdue University. He received his Ph.D. in finance from University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill in 1995. Dr Wahal's research focuses on trading issues (market microstructure), short and long-horizon trading strategies, and delegated portfolio management for mutual funds and institutional investors. He has published extensively in the Journal of Finance, the Journal of Financial Economics, the Review of Financial Studies and numerous other journals. He is a consultant to Dimensional Fund Advisors, advises a number of investment committees, and regularly interfaces with practitioners in a variety of ways. He is a regular speaker at academic and practitioner conferences.

Title: "Chasing Private Information"
Abstract
Using a sample of 3,586 illegal insider trades documented by the SEC, we examine whether asset prices and volume reveal firm-specific private information to markets. We find that information embedded in equity markets is a weak signal of private information. In turn, information embedded in option markets offers a strong signal of informed trading. We show that volume is generally more informative about insider trading than are prices. Further, we show that the impact of insider trades persists irrespective of whether insiders trade strategically or not. Finally, we document significant information spillovers from equity to option markets, but not vice versa. Overall, our results provide strong and novel guidance in the search for private information.
About Marcin Kacperczyk
Marcin Kacperczyk is a Professor of Finance at Imperial College London. He is also a Research Associate at the Center for Economic Policy Research, a former Faculty Research Fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research, and Associate Editor at the Review of Financial Studies and Review of Finance.
His research has been published in leading academic and practitioner journals, including Econometrica, the Quarterly Journal of Economics, Journal of Finance, Journal of Financial Economics, and the Review of Financial Studies. His work has been widely covered by media, such as CNN, CNBC, Bloomberg, WSJ, FT, NYT, Business Week, U.S. News, and Washington Post. Two of his papers have been nominated for the Smith Breeden Prize, and received the Spängler IQAM Prize for the best paper published in the Review of Finance.

Title: Complexity in Structured Finance: Financial Wizardry or Smoke and Mirrors?
ABSTRACT: We use data from prospectus supplements to create measures of the complexity of
We We use data from prospectus supplements to create measures of the complexity of securitized
products. We find that securities in more complex deals default more. However, yields of more
complex securities are not higher at issuance indicating that investors do not perceive such assets
as more likely to default. The relation between complexity and default is not primarily due to
issuers masking low quality loans as it persists after controlling for the collateral default rate.
Rather than creating safer securities, complexity disadvantages more senior securities within a
deal. Rating agencies are more lenient in rating complex deals.

Management at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). He received his Ph.D. in economics
from Princeton University. In 1999, he became an assistant professor of finance at UCLA's

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
Der Studiengang "Quantitative Asset and Risk Management" (kurz: ARIMA) startet heuer im Herbst zum siebenten Mal und unsere AbsolventInnen haben hervorragende Chancen auf dem momentan doch recht schwierigen Arbeitsmarkt.
Gerade im Bereich "Risikomanagement" suchen Banken und Versicherungen verstärkt Personal, um den regulatorischen Herausforderungen - Basel III, Solvency II - gerecht werden zu können.
***Für das kommende Studienjahr 2015/16 werden noch Bewerbungen bis zum 31.05.2015 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.
Das Ziel von ARIMA
besteht darin, den Studierenden ein umfassendes Verstaendnis ueber die Zusammenhaenge zwischen Asset- und Risikomanagement im Finanzbereich zu vermitteln.
Die AbsolventInnen erhalten eine fundierte Ausbildung im Risikomanagement (Quantifizierung von Risiken, Risikoaggregation; integrierte Steuerung von Banken und Versicherungen etc.) und Asset Management (Assetklassen, Portfolioselektion, Asset Liability Management, etc.). Hinzu treten methodisch-analytische Kenntnisse und Fertigkeiten, vor allem in Finanzmathematik und Statistik.
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.
Aufnahmeverfahren:
Formales Kriterium fuer die Teilnahme am Aufnahmeverfahren ist eine schriftliche Bewerbung bis spaetestens 31. Mai 2015.
Das Aufnahmeverfahren selbst besteht aus einem Interview (Diskussion eines aktuellen, finanzwirtschaftlichen Artikels auf englisch) und einem Multiple-Choice Test. Die Literatur fuer den MC-Test kann von der homepage der FH des bfi Wien heruntergeladen werden.
LektorenInnenpool aus dem wissenschaftlichen und berufsrelvanten Bereich:
Um einerseits theoretische Grundlagen zu vermitteln und andererseits die Anwendung der Theorie in der Praxis aufzuzeigen, konnten namhafte Lektoren aus diesen Bereichen fuer eine Vortragstaetigkeit in ARIMA gewonnen werden. Beispielshaft seien das IHS, die TU Wien, Oesterreichische Grossbanken und die OeNB genannt.
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:
