CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT
WU Gutmann Center Symposia 2017: “Financial Advice and Asset Management”
June 19, 2017; 9:00 - 17:30
WU Vienna, Austria
The WU Gutmann Center for Portfolio Management is proud to invite you to its ninth symposium - WU Gutmann Center Symposia 2017: “Financial Advice and Asset Management” on June 19 2017, at WU Wien (Vienna University of Economics and Business) Welthandelsplatz1, Festsaal 1, 1020 Vienna, Austria.
TOPIC
The financial crisis has revived the interest in the role of financial advice and in particular the standards that financial advisors should be held to. While financial advice is an essential part of asset management, policy-makers are concerned about conflicts of interests between financial advisors and their clients.
The WU Gutmann Symposium 2017 addresses various aspects of financial advice and asset management. The speakers shed light on the underlying factors, including behavioral aspects, and market structure that influence these conflicts of interests and thereby the quality of financial advice. In addition, they highlight possible solutions to deal with the incentive problems.

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
Der Studiengang "Quantitative Asset and Risk Management" (kurz: ARIMA) startet heuer im Herbst zum neunten 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 (IV), Solvency II - gerecht werden zu können.
***Für das kommende Studienjahr 17/18 werden noch Bewerbungen bis zum 31.05.2017 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.
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.
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:
