Financial Engineering and Quantitative Research: Experiences at JPMorgan
Wednesday, November 10, 2004 at 18:00 h
Hörsaal D205 (UZA4)
Abstract:
The aim of this talk is to give an insight into everyday life of JPMorgan's
derivatives business across asset classes. On the one hand, we will point
out areas of responsibilities of structurers, traders and quants as well as
the interplay between these three teams. On the other hand, we will give a
number of examples showing typical challenges (in terms of product
development, model requirements and implementation issues) and how we solved
them. In this regard, we will discuss equity specific and credit specific
products, as well as some ideas concerning the interplay of equity and
credit. Finally, we conclude by describing typical job profiles for a
marketer, trader or quant and how to prepare successfully for interviews.
Speaker & Discussant:
Dr Eva Strasser, Associate with JPMorgan London, working in Equity
Derivatives Research and specializing on the development of equity-specific
models and products as well as on equity-credit related topics
Johannes Sommer, Associate with JPMorgan London, working in Investment
Banking Advisory, specializing on M&A, equity and debt transactions for
