Attend this 2-day training seminar and learn about:

Correlation and Dependency Concepts in Financial Market Data
Properties of Correlation and the Correlation Matrix
Correlation in Modern Portfolio Theory
Simulating Correlated Data and Forecasting Correlations
Deriving Asset Correlations from Factor Correlations
Time Series Models for Correlations
Information about advanced methodologies in modelling dependency structures is hard to find and often fragmentary. In this 2-day programme, correlation and related dependency concepts take centre stage: After an introduction to empirical and mathematical properties of the traditional correlation concept, more recent methodologies are presented which allow deeper insights into real-world dependency structures and solve practical issues in working with scenario-based approaches and deriving forward-looking estimators.

Target Audience: risk analysts, quantitative analysts, investment analysts, asset managers both traditional and alternative, and system developers.
