SUMMARY:Quantitative Investing Group Meeting
DESCRIPTION:OverviewJoin us and Ronald N. Kahn for an interactive discussion on his book\, Advances in Active Portfolio Management by Richard C. Grinold and Ronald N. Kahn. \nOur new book\, Advances in Active Portfolio Management\, is a companion and successor book to Active Portfolio Management. Articles and essays we have written—together and separately\, mainly since the publication of Active Portfolio Management—compose the chapters in this book. Several of these articles won Bernstein Fabozzi/Jacobs Levy Awards for top articles in the Journal of Portfolio Management. We have chosen articles mainly along three dimensions: a recap of Active Portfolio Management\, advancing the Active Portfolio Management framework\, and applying the Active Portfolio Management framework to newer problems. For each article or group of related articles\, we have added an introduction reviewing the material with the benefit of time and providing context and background useful for reading the articles. One emerging theme that cuts across these articles is optimal portfolio design. This includes topics ranging from the trade-off between information turnover and trading costs\, identifying where the active opportunities are greatest\, the desirability of separating smart beta from pure alpha\, how we must coordinate risk level and gearing for optimal implementation\, how we can overdiversify multistrategy funds with surprisingly negative consequences in bad market states\, and insights into structuring fees. \nAnother theme that cuts across the dimensions of this book and connects it to our prior book is the track record of quantitative investing. This was a fairly small endeavor in 1995. Today\, quantitative investing is a substantial activity\, especially if we include indexing—non-active quantitative investing. On quantitative active management\, our books and articles have helped democratize the framework and approach and helped inform many new entrants into the field\, sometimes with negative consequences as in 2007 when too much money chased very similar ideas. Beyond measuring quantitative equity assets\, another track record metric is the general level of interest in the field as measured by organizations\, conferences\, and journals now devoted to quantitative investing. By this very different measure\, interest in the field appears healthy and robust. \nThe principles of quantitative active management are centered on the analysis of return\, risk\, and cost. These principles were developed and described in Active Portfolio Management. In Advances in Active Portfolio Management\, we have restated those principles in a more contemporary idiom and presented significant advances in the area of product design\, portfolio analytics\, and dynamic portfolio management. \nThe framework continues to evolve. We now have access to vast new sources of data. The age of big data has arrived. This profusion of data is accompanied by—indeed made possible by—dramatic increases in computing power. Machine learning and other advanced techniques are available. The quantitative active manager who can use these powerful tools wisely will prevail in the difficult challenge of active portfolio management. \nQuantitative Investing Group×Quantitative Investing Group\nThe Quantitative Investing Group brings together professionals seeking to incorporate cutting edge quantitative investment techniques and alternative data sets in their investing and risk processes. Members include (but are not limited to) discretionary and systematic portfolio managers\, risk managers\, traders and fundamental analysts\, data strategists\, quantitative researchers\, and others. The topic covered range from quantitative alpha generation\, big data as well as alternative datasets\, quantamental signals i.e. the intersection of fundamental analysis and quantitative decision making\, mathematical and statistical aspects of modern quantitative analysis\, use of programming languages or quant tools\, Natural Language Processing\, machine learning for investing and risk management\, theory and implementation of AI in finance and more. \nJOIN THIS GROUP \nCloseGuest SpeakerRonald N. Kahn\, PhD\, Managing Director\, is Global Head of Systematic Investment Research at BlackRock. He has overall responsibility for the research efforts behind BlackRock Systematic products. \nHis service with the firm dates back to 1998\, including his years with Barclays Global Investors (BGI)\, which merged with BlackRock in 2009. Prior to joining BGI\, he worked as Director of Research at Barra\, where his research covered equity and fixed income markets. \nRonald Kahn is a well-known expert on portfolio management and quantitative investing. He has published numerous articles on investment management\, and\, with Richard Grinold\, authored the influential book Active Portfolio Management: Quantitative Theory and Applications. Read more

SUMMARY:Veterans Roundtable Group Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Group DescriptionThe Veterans Committee of CFA Society New York\, (a.k.a. Veterans Roundtable) is a special interest group dedicated to supporting prior military service members through professional networking and finance education. Our mission is to establish the foundations from which military veteran members may better achieve leading positions in the financial world. We promote CFA Society New York and CFA Institute programs\, while also being highly active in NYC regional and national-level veteran clubs and affairs. By being active supporters and participants in other veteran organizations\, we are able leverage their networks\, and broaden the reach of CFA Society New York and CFA Institute. Why have such a group? The ethical standards promoted throughout military services worldwide align with Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Practice of the CFA Institute. Part of what attracts future generations of leaders to the military services is robust support groups that empower access the fullest range of post-military career options\, including the highest levels of finance. Our membership is open to CFA Society New York members\, CFA Charterholders\, CFA program participants\, active duty military service members\, and interested persons dedicated to CFA Institute mission and values. We aim to meet at least six times a year for meetings/socials\, hold a minimum of two CFA Society New York programming events per year\, and actively participate in other veteran organizations at least six times per year.This event will explore the issues of compensation and talent management from the firm perspective. Companies need to understand how to recruit and retain the best talent\, especially in an increasingly tight job market with outside industries such as Tech competing for people once destined for Finance. Owners also need to understand how important company culture\, diversity\, and inclusion is to the mandate of institutional investors. \nJoin Group
