(Code: 230221LU-CEX)

CPT/CE Eligibility (A Recognized CPT Provider)

The largest innovation in financial industry in the last two decades is fast implementation and integration of computing algorithm, machine learning techniques and cutting-edge technology. However, the early success of quantitative investing and fast growing of technology driven financial services exaggerated the importance of quant modelling in investment decision and technology dominance in serving clients. The frequent presence of macro events and government policy unrest in 2022 taught us lessons of inflexibility of investment decision due to inertia of previous success. In this webinar, Peng FEI, Ph.D., CFA, will elaborate the power of combining fundamental insights and quantitative approach, to navigate through market turmoil full of fear and greed, share his experience of objective and subjective risk exposure analysis in multi-strategy portfolio, and introduce some key elements in capital markets and financial services that have never changed no matter how capital markets has been evolving through technology development.
