Overview

The objective of this forum is to present selected current research and applications pertaining to three important niches of financial markets: equity-to-credit universe, counterparty risk universe and the universe of hybrid instruments. The invited speakers are a select group of practitioners and academics, whose research sets the frontiers of the three niches. The most recent theoretical results will be confronted with practical needs of financial institutions and regulators.
