RavenPack | March 15, 2021

RavenPack’s Peter Hafez and Marko Kangrga will be talking about the changing nature of risk and strategies for generating alpha at the 6th edition of the AI & Data Science in Trading Virtual Event, this March.

Generate Alpha. Manage Risk. Optimize Portfolios.

The event brings together experts in the field of AI and advanced data analytic techniques within asset management, whose focus is on finding alpha, managing risk and optimizing portfolios.

RavenPack’s Chief Data Scientist Peter Hafez will kick off the event with a presentation entitled “Understanding Risk Through the Data Mosaic” and will cover the following topics:

  • How using data to gain an understanding of the interconnectedness of the world is required to uncover future sources of risk.
