SUMMARY:Level II Fixed Income Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Are you ready for the Level II CFA Exam? How about the Fixed Income section? While Fixed Income at Level II is only 10% – 15% of the exam\, there’s a lot of complex quantitative material to digest that can feel overwhelming if you have not seen it before. Are you ready to answer questions on forward interest rates\, how to price a bond using a variety of different valuation methodologies\, as well as discuss yield curves\, credit spreads\, and credit default swaps? \n\n\n\nPlease join Peter Stutz\, CFA\, as he helps prepare you for the fixed income section of the Level II CFA Exam. This workshop will take you through some key concepts as well as provide you with 30-40 exam-type questions covering each of the five learning modules. Mr. Stutz will work through solutions to these problems and provide test-taking tips specific to the fixed income portion of the exam.

SUMMARY:CLT-The Momentum Factor: A Market Anomaly\, Its Benefits as an Alpha Source\, and Applications in a Style-Conscious World
DESCRIPTION:IMC will provide an overview of momentum\, discuss common misconceptions about the factor – including its perceived riskiness and momentum crashes – share thoughts on the dynamic relationship between momentum and value\, and explain how momentum differs from growth. \n\n\n\nMomentum has long been a significant source of returns for investors. Yet\, there are many misconceptions about its existence\, its riskiness\, and how to properly harness its strength across global markets. IMC will provide an overview of the momentum factor\, share thoughts on why it exists and persists\, discuss how momentum’s formation path and lookback periods can influence performance in portfolio applications\, and differentiate naïve momentum from Informed Momentum\, a mechanism to translate the academia of momentum into tangible results for investors. Included in the overview will be a discussion on common myths related to the perceived risks of the factor. Finally\, IMC will provide various frameworks in which momentum can be beneficial to\, or even replace\, traditional style exposures in equity portfolios.

SUMMARY:CLT-Building the Backbone of AI
DESCRIPTION:AI is emerging as the next general-purpose technology\, much like electricity or the internet before it. Its impact will span every sector of the economy and require unprecedented investment in the infrastructure that supports it. Sam Garetano will discuss why trillions of dollars will be needed across the AI value chain and where those opportunities are emerging.
