Risk magazine is delighted to announce the next annual Quant Congress USA 2013, the conference, thought for quantitative finance professionals, that is opening its doors in New York for the 11th time
Quantitative finance has taken on several new challenges in the past five years, and has been forced to re-write from scratch some of its paradigms.
We now live in a multi-curve world where the risk-free rate is no longer a fundamental ingredient in pricing models. Trades are collateralized. Deals need to take counterparty credit risk into account. However, in this new environment several issues are still open and the debate is on-going.
Quant Congress USA 2013 is a premier industry event to discuss emerging trends in risk and covers latest quantitative research which will be presented by senior quants from leading financial institutions and universities, including Risk's Quant of the Year winners gathering in July to share their latest finding and best practice.
