The Conference

Eighty years ago, the aftermath of the 1929 crash gave rise to both value and growth investing, contradictory approaches to money management that eventually became mainstays of professional investing. In the aftermath of the current crisis, new and divergent trends have similarly emerged, particularly among quantitative investors. And while it has yet to be seen how the changing paradigm for quantitative investing will ultimately affect common investment practices, fund managers across the globe, quantitative and otherwise, continue to face challenges.

As a means of addressing these challenges, Nomura has organized a series of presentations emphasizing our latest models and thoughts on a variety of topical subjects. Additionally, we have invited prominent buy-side fund managers to share their views on their current challenges and possible remedies.

We believe the conference will appeal to a wide array of buy-side participants, including quantitative equity portfolio managers, fundamental fund managers, investment officers, strategists, risk managers, and traders.

We hope that you will join us along with your fellow leaders in the field of quantitative investment for a stimulating and dynamic day of discussion.
