Spring 2008 Seminar
Date: March 31, 2008 Time: 4:30 PM - 5:30 PM (Refreshments at 4:15) Location: 1305 Newell-Simon Hall Speaker: Anthony Brockwell Sr. Analyst, Horton Point Title: So what is a hedge fund anyway? Abstract: I'll give some historical background on hedge funds, describing what they are and how they arose. I will discuss some of the widely-known methods that have been used in the past to make money, paying particular attention to some of the more spectacular successes and failures. I will illustrate some of the associated aspects of time series analysis, and more generally I will attempt to discuss the role of statistics and machine learning in finance.
