Quantitative Finance Seminar

Overview

The Quantitative Finance Seminar has been a centerpiece of the Commercial/Industrial program at the Fields Institute since 1995. Its mandate is to arrange talks on current research in quantitative finance that will be of interest to those who work on the border of industry and academia. Wide participation has been the norm with representation from mathematics, statistics, computer science, economics, econometrics, finance and operations research. Topics have included derivatives valuation, credit risk, insurance and portfolio optimization.

Talks occur on the last Wednesday of every month throughout the academic year and usually take place in the evening. Each seminar is organized around a single theme with two 45-minute talks with time for networking in between them. There is no cost to attend these seminars and everyone is welcome.
