The disparity in wealth and income is only expected to increase as boomers grow older.

Roundtable discussion on the risk modeling in this volatile marketplace
Presented by: Fred Arditti Risk Management Center
April 22, 2008Room 8005, DePaul Center
Dan diBartolomeo spoke on "Short Term Risk from Long Term Models". With the proliferation of algorithmic trading, derivative usage and highly leveraged hedge funds, the asset management community has increasing need for risk models focused on much shorter time horizons, often just a single day. The first portion of the presentation will focus on the investment policy implications of this trend, while the latter portion will provide an analytical framework for combining new information sources with traditional long horizon risk models in order to get a coherent measure of risk across the entire horizon spectrum from one day to one year. These new information sources include implied volatility from stock options, the cross-sectional dispersion of security returns and range-based volatility estimators.
