CALL FOR PAPERS / CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT
WU GUTMANN CENTER SYMPOSIUM 2015
RETIREMENT AND ASSET MANAGEMENT
VIENNA AUGUST 19, 2015
The WU Gutmann Center for Portfolio Management is proud to announce its eighth
symposium to be held at WU (Vienna University of Economics and Business), Austria. The
general topic of the symposium is "Retirement and Asset Management". Papers
submitted to the
symposium can address related aspects such as the role of financial institutions, lifetime
investment strategies, saving for future generations, the role of demographics, or
financial
literacy, provided they are sufficiently related to the general topic.
Note that the WU Gutmann Center Symposium 2015 will take place on the day before the
42nd Annual Meeting of the European Finance Association (EFA) (
www.efa2015.org). Both
conferences will take place on the new WU Campus (
www.wu.ac.at/campus/en). The EFA
Annual Meeting opens on August 19 in the evening, after the symposium has been
concluded.

The deadline for paper submissions is March 11, 2015 at midnight CET Central European
