The Financial Asset Management and Engineering Program (FAME) – a unique learning experience
July 19 - August 20, 2010
The FAME Program provides a unique experience in the modern practices of asset management and financial engineering. For four weeks practitioners are challenged to apply advanced thinking to investing in real world situations. It is this intense focus on application which allows the FAME Program to achieve its singular impact.
Concepts are important by themselves, but it is only through their application that a deeper understanding can be achieved. The FAME Program is therefore carefully structured to interweave both concepts and practical applications so as to achieve an optimal learning impact. A mix of teaching methods supports this goal, combining lectures with class discussions, PC-based applications, market data systems and case work, while regular short tests allow the participants to assess their own progress. A major investment project accompanies the whole FAME Program, enabling participants to integrate what they have learnt into a complex practical situation.
The faculty of the FAME Program is made up of an international mix of renowned academics and highly experienced practitioners. Here too, the objective is to have the best of the conceptual and the practical world combined.
The last ingredient to the success of the FAME Program is the participants themselves. A small group of ca. 30 practitioners typically coming from around 15 countries, calling from all over the world, ensures an unparalleled diversity of experiences. The FAME Program draws heavily on this diverse background, emphasizing team work and group assignments to support the exchange of insights and to build an enduring professional network between the participants.
We encourage you to make use of this unique opportunity to advance your conceptual and practical insights into financial asset management and engineering!
