Evening Executive Briefing:
Behavioural Finance and News Analytics 18:00-20:00, 2 February 2010, London


Short Overview followed by Q & A Session with Expert Panel on Behavioural Finance and News Analytics

As behavioural finance develops, it is intensifying the use of tools and techniques of quantitative finance; mathematical and statistical methodologies are employed to understand the behavioural biases of decision makers (fund managers, traders…) and their impact on market valuations of individual as well as portfolio of assets. Equally news is interpreted from a behavioural perspective; it is now widely recognised as playing a key role in financial markets. Traders and other market participants digest news rapidly and update their asset positions accordingly. This evening briefing event provides a platform for some of the leading experts and practitioners in both areas to share their insights and experiences.
