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

SUMMARY:How CECL Can Be Improved and Was It Worth It?
DESCRIPTION:OVERVIEWThis program will explore through the perspective of a user\, a preparer\, and a standard-setter whether the new Current Expected Credit Loss (CECL) accounting rule that replaced the incurred loss method (ILM) was worth the cost of implementation. The objective behind CECL was to make the accounting for credit losses more proactive than it was on the eve of the global financial crisis under ILM where banks were limited to providing only for losses that were estimable and probable. Surprisingly then\, with the risk of recession growing\, banks that adopted CECL are still recapturing rather than building reserves. Bank management’s stock response is to attribute the reserve to what essentially is a black box model. CECL came with an expansion in footnote disclosures that were intended to provide more transparency in public reporting\, but has already proven itself to be more difficult to model than ILM was. \nTopics Covered:\nIncurred Loss Method to CECL\nStandard-setter’s Objectives\nFinancial Statement Preparer’s Costs & User Takeaways\n\nAgenda2:00 PM | WELCOME REMARKS \n\n2:05 PM | PANEL DISCUSSION \nFrederick Cannon\, CFA\, Board Member\, FASB \nGerard Cassidy\, Managing Director\, Head of U.S. Bank Equity Strategy & Large Cap Bank Analyst\, RBC Capital Markets \nLarry Sorensen\, Senior VP & CFO\, Washington Trust Bank \nJoseph A.

In A Monetary and Fiscal History of the United States\, 1961-2021\, Blinder draws on his deep firsthand experience to provide an authoritative account of 60 years of monetary and fiscal policy in the United States. Spanning 12 presidents\, from John F. Kennedy to Joe Biden\, and eight Federal Reserve chairs\, from William McChesney Martin to Jerome Powell\, this is an insider’s story of macroeconomic policy that hasn’t been told before. \nFocusing on the most significant developments and long-term changes\, Blinder traces the highs and lows of monetary and fiscal policy\, which have by turns cooperated and clashed through many recessions and several long booms over the past six decades. From the fiscal policy of Kennedy’s New Frontier to Biden’s responses to the pandemic\, the book takes readers through the stagflation of the 1970s\, the conquest of inflation under Jimmy Carter and Paul Volcker\, the rise of Reaganomics and the bubbles of the 2000s before bringing the story up through recent events―including the financial crisis\, the Great Recession and monetary policy during COVID-19. \n\nThis program is FREE\, but advance registration is required. Registered guests will receive the access link prior to the event. \nAbout the AuthorAlan Blinder is a professor of economics and public affairs at Princeton University and a regular columnist for the Wall Street Journal. He served as a member of President Clinton’s original Council of Economic Advisers and then as Vice Chair of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in 1993–1996. Blinder has written scores of scholarly articles\, and authored or co-authored 21 books\, including the best-seller After the Music Stopped (2013) and Advice and Dissent (2018). \nRichard Sylla is professor emeritus of economics and the former Henry Kaufman Professor of the History of Financial Institutions and Markets at the NYU Stern School of Business.

SUMMARY:Financial Issues Forum: Bradford DeLong on “Slouching Towards Utopia: An Economic History of the Twentieth Century”
DESCRIPTION:OverviewA co-sponsored event\, presented by CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance. \nBefore 1870\, humanity lived in dire poverty\, with a slow crawl of invention offset by a growing population. Then came a great shift: invention sprinted forward\, doubling our technological capabilities each generation and utterly transforming the economy again and again. Our ancestors would have presumed we would have used such powers to build utopia. But it was not so. When 1870–2010 ended\, the world instead saw global warming; economic depression\, uncertainty\, and inequality; and broad rejection of the status quo. \nEconomist Brad DeLong’s Slouching Towards Utopia–named a “Best Book of 2022” by the Financial Times–tells the story of how this unprecedented explosion of material wealth occurred\, how it transformed the globe and why it failed to deliver us to utopia. Of remarkable breadth and ambition\, it reveals the last century to have been less a march of progress than a slouch in the right direction. \n\nThis program is FREE\, but advance registration is required.  \nRegistered guests will receive the access link prior to the event. The first 100 guests will receive a complimentary e-copy of the book. \nAbout the AuthorBrad DeLong is a professor of economics at UC Berkeley\, a research associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research\, a weblogger at the Washington Center for Equitable Growth and a fellow of the Institute for New Economic Thinking. He received his B.A. and Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1982 and 1987. He joined UC Berkeley as an associate professor in 1993 and became a full professor in 1997. \nProfessor DeLong also served in the U.S. government as Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy from 1993 to 1995. He worked on the Clinton Administration’s 1993 budget\, on the Uruguay Round of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade\, on the North American Free Trade Agreement\, on macroeconomic policy and on the unsuccessful health care reform effort. Before joining the Treasury Department\, Professor DeLong was Danziger Associate Professor in the Department of Economics at Harvard University. He has also been a John M. Olin Fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research\, an Assistant Professor of Economics at Boston University and a Lecturer in the Department of Economics at MIT. \nCo- Sponsored By

SUMMARY:Financial Issues Forum: Sebastian Mallaby on “The Power Law: Venture Capital and the Making of the New Future”
DESCRIPTION:OverviewA co-sponsored event\, presented by CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance. \nInnovations rarely come from “experts.” When it comes to improbable innovations\, a legendary tech VC told Sebastian Mallaby\, the future cannot be predicted\, it can only be discovered. It is the nature of the venture-capital game that most attempts at discovery fail\, but a very few succeed at such a scale that they more than make up for everything else. That extreme ratio of success and failure is the power law that drives the VC business\, all of Silicon Valley\, the wider tech sector and\, by extension\, the world. \nIn The Power Law\, Sebastian Mallaby has parlayed unprecedented access to the most celebrated venture capitalists of all time—the key figures at Sequoia\, Kleiner Perkins\, Accel\, Benchmark and Andreessen Horowitz\, as well as Chinese partnerships such as Qiming and Capital Today—into a riveting blend of storytelling and analysis that unfurls the history of tech incubation\, in the Valley and ultimately worldwide. We learn the unvarnished truth\, often for the first time\, about some of the most iconic triumphs and infamous disasters in Valley history\, from the comedy of errors at the birth of Apple to the avalanche of venture money that fostered hubris at WeWork and Uber. \n\nThis program is FREE\, but advance registration is required.  \nRegistered guests will receive the access link prior to the event. The first 100 guests will receive a complimentary e-copy of the book. \nAbout the AuthorSebastian Mallaby is the Paul A. Volcker senior fellow for international economics at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). An experienced journalist and public speaker\, Mallaby contributes to a variety of publications\, including Foreign Affairs\, the Atlantic\, the Washington Post and the Financial Times\, where he spent two years as a contributing editor. He is the author of five books\, most recently The Power Law: Venture Capital and the Making of the New Future. \nMallaby’s interests cover a wide variety of domestic and international issues\, including central banks\, financial markets\, the implications of the rise of newly emerging powers and the intersection of economics and international relations. His previous book\, The Man Who Knew: The Life & Times of Alan Greenspan\, was the winner of the 2016 Financial Times/McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award and the 2017 George S. Eccles Prize in Economic Writing. More Money Than God: Hedge Funds and the Making of a New Elite was the recipient of the 2011 Loeb Prize and a New York Times bestseller. \nCo- Sponsored By

In 2010 he earned a Ph.D. in quantitative finance with a Summa Cum Laude distinction (UNED – Madrid Spain). \nOverview\nTopic: Generative Models for Time Series in Finance \nA generative model is a statistical model of the joint probability distribution. We built a generative model for univariate time series in finance using a Variational Autoencoder (VAE) neural network architecture. We test the model in SP500 and the Heston Model widely used for option pricing and hedging in the financial industry. In both contexts the generative model is able to correctly learn the density according to our qualitative and quantitative tests . Users have to consider the potential non-stationarity in this context and potentially enrich the learning process.Applications of these generative models include risk management\, data augmentation to be used in supervised learning applications and can alleviate the problem of small data in finance. In future research we intend to investigate the multivariate case extremely important for portfolio and risk management as well as testing other generative architectures. \n\n\nhttps://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4343967 \n\nQuantitative Group×Quantitative 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.

SUMMARY:Fiduciary Gap: The Role of Proxy Voting and Shareholder Voting in Effective Client Relationships
DESCRIPTION:OverviewProxy voting has long been a vital tool in issuer corporate governance. Recently\, it has also become an increasingly important tool for asset managers to maximize financial performance for their clients. This debate is all about the balance of the power in the boardroom – issuers\, asset managers or their clients. Given the growing divergence in ESG opinions across political\, economic\, and geographic lines\, how do we balance fiduciary duty by asset managers with social values from asset owners\, and corporate responsibility from issuer companies? How do we bring both process transparency and expert care to asset management clients\, who increasingly demand both performance and experience?
