Can Machine Learning Build Better Stock Portfolios?

Combining statistics and computer science, Machine Learning can process colossal amounts of data, train statistical models on that data, and then apply those statistical models to make forecasts. Peter Hecht, Managing Director and Head of the North America Portfolio Solutions Group at AQR Capital Management, will explore the topic of Machine Learning, and specifically if machine learning techniques can be used to improve market timing strategies and to construct stock selection strategies. Peter will also discuss the "virtue of complexity” and its validations, showcasing practical examples of how machine learning can be applied to investment theory.   The presentation will be followed by a networking cocktail.

The Green Tech Initiative

We are pleased to continue our long-standing event series in collaboration with SDA Bocconi. As in previous editions, a distinguished SDA Bocconi Professor will share insights on a cutting-edge topic with members of the Bocconi Alumni Association and CFA Society Luxembourg. While sustainability has attracted the attention of several academic institutions, the interplay of Green Tech, AI, and Regulation needs more attention. The Green Tech Initiative intends to mobilize scholars, practitioners, and policymakers to have a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to the green transition, technology, and AI.  We will explore specific AI-powered applications for 1.   computation of emissions along complex supply chains, and 2.   identification of firms in the Blue economy.  Join us for this engaging session, which promises thought-provoking discussion and valuable perspectives on one of today's most relevant topics. The presentation will be followed by a networking cocktail.
