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.
