What Made Global Derivatives & Risk Management The Must-Attend Quantitative Event for 2010?

With Over 400 Attendees In 2010 (A 180% Increase On 2009!) Global Derivatives & Risk Management Has Without Doubt Re-Asserted Its Status As The Largest & Most Respected Quantitative Finance Event In The World!

The 2010 Programme Offered Delegates:

  • Renowned Nobel Laureate Professor Robert Engle Gave The Guest Academic Address focussing on Global Financial Stability & Long Term Risk
  • Professor Engle was awarded the 2003 Nobel Prize in Economics for his research on the concept of autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (ARCH).   He developed this method for statistical modeling of time-varying volatility and demonstrated that these techniques accurately capture the properties of many time series. Professor Engle shared the prize with Clive W. J. Granger of the University of California at San Diego.  Professor Engle is an expert in time series analysis with a long-standing interest in the analysis of financial markets.  His research has also produced such innovative statistical methods as cointegration, common features, autoregressive conditional duration (ACD),  CAViaR and now dynamic conditional correlation (DCC) models.
