    conference quote

    "Models are only as good as their weakest links: Our greatest challenges is to eliminate these weak links"

    Following our successful 2008 conference this 2nd annual marcus evans conference will look at the growing scope of pricing model validation as a risk mitigation tool. Pricing models are growing in complexity and importantly this conference dissects the latests scenario tests, delves into the validation practices behind bespoke models and debates how to validate models that price illiquid products. This conference plans to equip you with all the information that pricing model validation need to ensure instruments are correctly tested from the start, thus speeding up model reviews.
