[VFN] Gutmann Center Public Lecture April 13th Suleyman Basak
by Gutmann Center-D. Grimm 30 Mar '05

30 Mar '05

The GUTMANN CENTER FOR PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT at the University of Vienna http://www.gutmann-center.at is pleased to announce the following PUBLIC LECTURE: - Apologies for any cross-listings!! - Date: April 13th, 2005 - 5.00 p.m. Speaker: Prof. Dr. Suleyman BASAK London Business School http://faculty.london.edu/sbasak/ Title: "IMPLICIT INCENTIVES AND BENCHMARKING IN MONEY MANAGEMENT" Abstract: Money managers are rewarded for increasing the value of assets under management, and predominantly so in the mutual fund industry. This gives the manager an implicit incentive to exploit the well-documented positive fund-flows to relative-performance relationship by manipulating her risk exposure. In a dynamic asset allocation framework, this presentation will argue that as the year-end approaches, the ensuing convexities in the manager's objective induce her to closely mimic the index, relative to which her performance is evaluated, when the fund's year-to-date return is sufficiently high. As her relative performance falls behind, she chooses to deviate from the index by either increasing or decreasing the volatility of her portfolio. The maximum deviation is achieved at a critical level of underperformance. It may be optimal for the manager to reach such deviation via selling the risky asset despite its positive risk premium. Costs of misaligned incentives to investors resulting from the manager's policy are economically significant. The presentation then will demonstrate how a simple risk management practice that accounts for benchmarking can ameliorate the adverse effects of managerial incentives.

[VFN] Workshop on the Interface between Quantitative Finance and Insurance (fwd)

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Walter Schachermayer <wschach(a)fam.tuwien.ac.at> ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 8 Feb 2005 08:06:37 -0500 From: IAA Secretariat AAI <secretariat(a)actuaries.org> To: AFIR Members List / Liste des membres d'AFIR <afir(a)lists.actuaries.org> Subject: Workshop on the Interface between Quantitative Finance and Insurance / Atelier sur l'interface entre la finance quantitative et l'assurance Workshop on the Interface between Quantitative Finance and Insurance A satellite workshop of the Quantitative Finance Programme of the Isaac Newton Institute and a 2005 Regional Seminar of the AFIR Section of the International Actuarial Association Edinburgh, 4 - 8 April 2005 Workshop Summary The Workshop starts with Registration (between 9.30 and 10.30am) on Monday 4 April and finishes on Friday 8 April at around 4pm. It is possible to register for the first two days only. This workshop aims to discuss leading-edge research on the interface between insurance, pensions and quantitative finance. The meeting will concentrate on two closely linked themes. First, all insurance companies and pension plans are subject to a degree of financial and economic risk as well as their traditional insurance risks. Considerable research in the international actuarial community is ongoing which attempts to model and manage these risks. Much of this research is building upon existing knowledge in financial mathematics. Equally, though, the specific problems being encountered are throwing back new challenges for financial mathematicians. This introduces us to the second theme: the issue of securitisation of insurance risks. This presents many new challenges that require a combination of actuarial mathematics, financial mathematics, mathematical economics and good contract design. The workshop will bring together leading international experts from both academia and practice to promote exchange of ideas and help make progress on research into current issues. Applications and payment must be received by Monday 21 March. Places will be confirmed on receipt of payment. You may apply online at the following address: http://www.ma.hw.ac.uk/icms/meetings/2005/quantfinance/reg_form.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Atelier sur l'interface entre la finance quantitative et l'assurance Un atelier satellite du Programme sur la finance quantitative du Isaac Newton Institute et un séminaire régional 2005 de la Section AFIR de l'Association Actuarielle Internationale Édinburgh, du 4 au 8 avril 2005 Sommaire de l'atelier L'atelier débute avec les inscriptions (entre 9 h 30 et 10 h 30), lundi 4 avril et se termine le vendredi 8 avril vers 16 h. Il est possible de s'inscrire pour les deux premiers jours seulement. Le but de l'atelier est de favoriser les discussions sur les recherches de pointe concernant l'interface entre l'assurance, les régimes de retraite et la finance quantitative. La réunion portera principalement sur deux thèmes en étroit rapport. Premièrement, toutes les compagnies d'assurance et les régimes de retraite sont sujets à un certain niveau de risque financier et économique, de même qu'aux risques d'assurance traditionnels. De nombreuses recherches au sein de la communauté actuarielle internationale sont en cours afin de tenter de modéliser et de gérer ces risques. Ces efforts sont principalement fondés sur les connaissances actuelles dans le domaine des mathématiques financières. Cependant, les problèmes particuliers rencontrés posent de nouveaux défis aux mathématiciens du secteur financier. Ceci nous amène au deuxième thème, soit la question de la titrisation des risques d'assurance. Ceci pose de nombreux défis nouveaux qui requièrent une combinaison de mathématiques actuarielles, de mathématiques financières, d'économie mathématique et de bonne conception de contrats. L'atelier permettra à des chefs de file internationaux du secteur académique et des domaines mettant ces connaissances en pratique de se rencontrer et d'échanger sur ces questions dans le but de faire progresser la recherche dans ces domaines. Les inscriptions et le paiement doivent être reçus au plus tard lundi le 21 mars . Les places seront confirmées sur réception du paiement. Vous pouvez vous inscrire en ligne à l'adresse suivante : http://www.ma.hw.ac.uk/icms/meetings/2005/quantfinance/reg_form.html
