Modeling and financial engineering
The environment for financial institutions today:
- A growing industrialization of complex products and the emergence of increasingly innovative but often opaque products
- Increasingly interdependent financial markets with, in parallel, the emergence of new sources of risk and profit (markets, counterparties, liquidity…)
- An increasingly demanding investor base in terms of transparency and exposure
- A restrictive and changing regulatory environment
In this context, the issues related to modeling and engineering are fundamental, in Investment Banking and Asset Management.
