Q-Group Sydney Monthly Lunch Series - Why Active Managers Should Not Try to Maximize IR

Date: 
01 Nov 2018
Speaker: 

Discussion leader: Dan Dibartolomeo (Northfield)

Location: 

Metropolitan Hotel
1 Bridge St, Sydney
Level 2 room

PLEASE NOTE THE EARLIER START TIME! WE WILL ATTEMPT TO START AT MIDDAY, WITH MEALS ARRIVING AT 12:30.

Additional notes: Dan will begin by discussing why conventional modelling techniques of active risk are not sensible. He will then present a new modelling method from Northfield that has the interesting side effect that maximizing the information ratio is a flawed objective for active managers.

The first half of this event is likely to be more "presentation" than "discussion", but those of you who know Dan know the quality of his material, as well as his appetite for robust discussion.

If you would like to attend, please rsvp using the following link:
