SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Daniel Peris on Why Modern Portfolio Theory Fails Investors
DESCRIPTION:We are in a time of enormous risk. Economic growth is anemic\, and political risk to the capital markets is on the rise. In the U.S.\, a generation of white-collar baby boomers is heading into retirement with insufficient assets in their 401(k) programs\, and industrial workers are stuck with materially underfunded pension plans. Against that backdrop\, the investing industry’s current set of practices and assumptions―modern portfolio theory (MPT)―is based on a half-century-old formula that is supposed to deliver the maximum amount of return for a given amount of risk. The trouble is that it doesn’t work very well. \nIn Getting Back to Business: Why Modern Portfolio Theory Fails Investors and How You Can Bring Common Sense to Your Portfolio\, dividend-investing guru Daniel Peris proposes a radical new approach―radical in that it does away with MPT in favor of a more intuitive\, common-sense approach practiced by business people in their own affairs every day: cash returns on cash investments. \nPeris will also discuss being a historian in a profession with a notably low historical sensibility. How did a historian of the early Soviet period end up as a portfolio manager with $25 billion under advisement\, a management team of 12\, and author of three books on dividend investing? \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks and Introductions: Sris Chatterjee\, professor and chair\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis; and James Kelly\, professor and director\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:05 p.m.: Presentation: Daniel Peris \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: James Kelly \nAbout the Speaker\nDaniel Peris\, Ph.D.\, is senior vice president and senior portfolio manager at Federated-Hermes Inc.\, in Pittsburgh\, where he oversees $25 billion in dividend-focused portfolios. He is the author of three books on capital markets. \nBefore transitioning into asset management\, Peris was a historian focused on modern Russian history. In that capacity\, Peris was a Fulbright-Hays scholar in the former Soviet Union from 1991 to 1992 and held a post-doctoral fellowship at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University in 1995. Follow him on Twitter at @historyinvestor\, and visit his website at strategicdividendinvestor.com. \nCopies of Getting Back to Business will be raffled off to attendees. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Robin Wigglesworth on Trillions: How a Band of Wall Street Renegades Invented the Index Fund and Changed Finance Forever
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lunchtime program with Robin Wigglesworth\, the Financial Times‘ global finance correspondent and author of Trillions\, as he discusses the incredible true story of the iconoclastic geeks who defied conventional wisdom and endured Wall Street’s scorn to launch the index fund revolution\, democratizing investing and saving hundreds of billions of dollars in fees. \nFifty years ago\, the Manhattan Project of money management was quietly assembled in the financial industry’s backwaters\, unified by the heretical idea that even many of the world’s finest investors couldn’t beat the market in the long run. The motley crew of nerds—including Gene Fama\, Jack Bogle\, John McQuown\, and Nate Most—succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. Passive investing now accounts for more than $20 trillion\, equal to the entire gross domestic product of the U.S.\, and today is a force reshaping markets\, finance\, and even capitalism itself in myriad subtle but pivotal ways. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: Sris Chatterjee\, chair\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:03 p.m.: Speaker Introductions: David Cowen\, president and CEO\, Museum of American Finance \n12:08: p.m.: Presentation: Robin Wigglesworth \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speaker\nRobin Wigglesworth is the FT’s global finance correspondent\, based in Oslo\, Norway. He focuses on the biggest forces reshaping the financial system\, with a particular focus on technological disruption and quantitative investing\, writing longer-form features\, analyses\, profiles\, and columns. He was previously the U.S. markets editor\, spearheading the outlet’s coverage of financial markets and asset management across the Americas\, deputy head of FastFT\, capital markets correspondent\, and Gulf correspondent. \nCopies of Trillions will be raffled off to attendees. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Campbell R. Harvey on DeFi and the Future of Finance
DESCRIPTION:Govern­ments bailed out the very institutions that let the economy down\, spurring a serious rethink of our financial system.

Why does it take two days to transfer money from a bank account to a brokerage—or any other company? Why are savings rates minuscule or negative? Why is it so difficult for entrepreneurs to get financ­ing at traditional banks? \nIn DeFi and the Future of Finance\, Campbell R.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Michael Mauboussin on Expectations Investing: Reading Stock Prices for Better Returns
DESCRIPTION:Most investment books try to assess the attractiveness of a stock price by estimating the value of the company. Expectations Investing\, by Michael Mauboussin and Alfred Rappaport\, provides a powerful and insightful alternative to identifying gaps between price and value. The authors suggest that an investor start with a known quantity\, the stock price\, and ask what it implies for future financial results. After showing how to read expectations\, they provide a guide to rigorous strategic and financial analysis to help investors assess the likelihood of revisions to these expectations. \nInvestors who read this book will be able to evaluate stocks of companies in any sector or geography more effectively than those who use the standard approaches of most investors. This revised and updated edition reflects the many changes in accounting and the business landscape since the book was first published\, and provides a wealth of new examples and case studies. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: Sris Chatterjee\, chair\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:03 p.m.: Speaker Introductions: David Cowen\, president and CEO\, Museum of American Finance \n12:08: p.m.: Presentation: Michael Mauboussin \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speaker\nMichael J. Mauboussin is head of Consilient Research at Counterpoint Global\, Morgan Stanley Investment Management. He is an adjunct professor of finance at Columbia Business School. In addition to Expectations Investing\, his books include More Than You Know: Finding Financial Wisdom in Unconventional Places (Columbia\, updated and expanded edition\, 2007); Think Twice: Harnessing the Power of Counterintuition (2009); and The Success Equation: Untangling Skill and Luck in Business\, Sports and Investing (2012). \nCopies of Expectations Investing will be raffled off to attendees. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Ted Seides on Capital Allocators: How the World's Elite Money Managers Lead and Invest
DESCRIPTION:The chief endowment officers at foundations\, family offices\, pension funds\, and sovereign wealth funds are the leaders in the world of finance. They marshal trillions of dollars on behalf of their institutions and influence how capital flows throughout the world. But these elite investors live outside of the public eye. Across the entire investment industry\, few participants understand how these holders of the keys to the kingdom allocate their time and their capital. What’s more\, there is no formal training for how to do their work. \nSo\, how do these influential leaders practice their craft? What skills do they require? What frameworks do they employ? How do they make investment decisions on everything from hiring managers to portfolio construction? \nJoin us for an afternoon webinar between author Ted Seides as he discusses his new book\, Capital Allocators\, with Jonathan Brolin\, founder and managing partner of Edenbrook Capital LLC\, on this opaque corner of the investment landscape. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: Paul Johnson\, finance professor\, founding partner and investment manager\, Nicusa Capital Partners \n12:05 p.m.: Speaker Introduction: Jonathan Brolin\, founder and managing partner of Edenbrook Capital LLC \n12:08 p.m.: Discussion: Ted Seides \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: Paul Johnson \nAbout the Speakers\nTed Seides created Capital Allocators LLC to explore best practices in the asset management industry. He launched the Capital Allocators podcast in 2017\, and the show reached 6 million downloads in June 2021. Brunswick Group named it the top institutional investing podcast\, and Barron’s\, Business Insider\, Forbes\, and ValueWalk each named it among the top investing podcasts. Alongside the podcast\, Seides advises both managers and allocators\, compounding his knowledge and relationships to help them make more money. In March\, he published his second book\, Capital Allocators: How the World’s Elite Money Managers Lead and Invest\, which distills key lessons from the first 150 episodes of the podcast. \nJonathan Brolin is the founder and managing partner of Edenbrook Capital LLC\, which he founded in 2011. Edenbrook takes a private equity approach to public markets\, principally through concentrated\, long-term investments in small- and mid-cap companies. This approach involves identifying equities that are undervalued on a fundamental basis\, performing intensive research on companies and industries\, understanding existing and potential levers for creating value\, and collaborating with management teams and/or other constituents to unlock shareholder value over a multiyear period. Brolin currently serves on the board of directors of Frequency Electronics Inc. and CXO Nexus Inc. \nBrolin has 25 years of experience in public and private equity investing and investment banking. In addition\, he serves as a fellow at the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis and taught Advanced Topics in Value Investing for seven years as an adjunct professor of finance at the Gabelli School of Business. He earned his M.B.A. from Columbia Business School\, where he was a member of the Beta Gamma Sigma honor society. Brolin earned his B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania\, where he was a Benjamin Franklin scholar and general honors student. When he’s not searching for value\, he can be found watching\, coaching\, playing\, or thinking about baseball. \nCopies of Capital Allocators will be raffled off to attendees. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Thomas Peterffy in Conversation with Bob Pisani

Peterffy will be interviewed by CNBC senior markets correspondent Bob Pisani. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: Sris Chatterjee\, chair\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:05 p.m.: Speaker Introductions: David Cowen\, president and CEO of the Museum of American Finance \n12:08 p.m.: Discussion: Thomas Peterffy and Bob Pisani \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speakers\nThomas Peterffy has been at the forefront of applying computer technology to automate trading and brokerage functions since soon after he emigrated from Hungary to the United States in 1965. In 1977\, after purchasing a seat on the American Stock Exchange and trading as an individual market maker in equity options\, Peterffy was among the first to apply a computerized mathematical model that would disseminate continuous bid and offer\nprices. Five years later\, he built and ran an automated trading system for equity options and\, in 1983\, he was the first to develop a tablet computer for use by his employees trading on exchange floors. \nBy 1986\, Peterffy developed and employed a fully integrated\, automated\, market-making system for stocks\, options\, and futures. As this pioneering system extended around the globe\, online brokerage functions were added. In 1993\, Interactive Brokers was formed\, using its global capacity for transaction processing to link up with the electronic exchanges that were starting up around the world. Today\, Interactive Brokers seeks to stay at\nthe forefront of automation and to remain the low-cost producer. It is the second-largest publicly traded electronic broker\, as measured by DARTs\, providing direct access trade execution and clearing services to institutional and professional traders for a wide variety of electronically traded products\, including stocks\, options\, futures\, forex\, bonds\, CFDs\, and funds on more than 135 trading venues and 27 currencies around the world. \nBob Pisani is senior markets correspondent for CNBC. A CNBC reporter since 1990\, Pisani has covered Wall Street and the stock market for nearly 20 years. He covered the real estate market for CNBC from 1990-1995\, then moved on to cover corporate management issues before becoming a stocks correspondent in 1997. In addition to covering the global stock market\, he also covers initial public offerings\, exchange-traded funds\, and financial market structure for CNBC. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Zachary Karabell on Inside Money: Brown Brothers Harriman and the American Way of Power
DESCRIPTION:Conspiracy theories have always swirled around Brown Brothers Harriman\, and not without reason. Throughout the 19th century\, when America was convulsed by a devastating financial panic essentially every 20 years\, Brown Brothers quietly went from strength to strength\, propping up the U.S. financial system at crucial moments and catalyzing successive booms\, from the cotton trade and the steamship to the railroad\, while largely managing to avoid the unwelcome attention that plagued some of its competitors. By the turn of the 20th century\, Brown Brothers was unquestionably at the heart of what was meant by an “American Establishment.” As America’s reach extended beyond its shores\, Brown Brothers worked hand in glove with the State Department\, notably in Nicaragua in the early 20th century\, where the firm essentially took over the country’s economy. To the Brown family\, the virtue of their dealings was a given; their form of muscular Protestantism\, forged on the playing fields of Groton and Yale\, was the acme of civilization\, and it was their duty to import that civilization to the world. \nIn Inside Money\, acclaimed historian\, commentator\, and former financial executive Zachary Karabell offers the first full and frank look inside this institution against the backdrop of American history. Provided with complete access to the company’s archives\, as well as a thrilling understanding of the larger forces at play\, Karabell has created an X-ray of American power—financial\, political\, cultural—as it has evolved from the early 1800s to the present. Today\, unlike many of its competitors\, Brown Brothers Harriman remains a private partnership and a beacon of sustainable capitalism\, having forgone the heady speculative upsides of the past 30 years but also having avoided any role in the devastating downsides. The firm is no longer in the command capsule of the American economy\, but\, arguably\, that is to its credit. If its partners cleaved to any one adage over the generations\, it is that a relentless pursuit of more can destroy more than it creates. \nAbout the Speakers\nZachary Karabell was educated at Columbia\, Oxford\, and Harvard\, where he received his Ph.D. He is a prolific commentator\, both in print and on television\, and the author of a dozen previous books\, including The Last Campaign\, which won the Chicago Tribune’s Heartland Prize\, and The Leading Indicators. He is also a longtime investor\, former financial services executive\, and the founder of the Progress Network. \nCopies of Inside Money will be raffled off to attendees. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Paul Schmelzing to Discuss Lower Forever or Set for a Regime Break? Lessons from Real Interest Rates Since the 14th Century
DESCRIPTION:Paul Schmelzing will discuss his groundbreaking research on real interest rate dynamics since the beginning of secondary debt markets\, the topic of one of his Ph.D. chapters. Visiting U.S. and European archives over multiple years\, he reconstructed global real interest rate series that cover 82% of advanced economy gross domestic product (GDP) spanning 700 years\, and he argues that our current negative rate environment has actually been in the making for centuries. Schmelzing will explain why investors during the Italian Renaissance could already have predicted that the global economy would hit the “zero lower bound” in our time\, why there is no such thing as a “normal” or “steady-state” interest rate\, and what chances are the major recent fiscal and monetary stimuli will trigger a structural break from the low inflation\, low rate era. \nFollowing the presentation\, James Grant and Richard Sylla will lead a discussion on the history of interest rates and will take questions from the audience. \nAbout the Speakers\nPaul Schmelzing is currently a postdoctoral research associate at the Yale School of Management\, and since 2016 he has been a visiting researcher at the Bank of England. He graduated with a Ph.D. in history from Harvard University in 2019 and a B.S. in economic history from the London School of Economics in 2013. During his studies\, he also interned at a global macro hedge fund\, Goldman Sachs’ global markets division\, and the Finance Committee of the German Bundestag. At Harvard\, he worked as a research assistant for Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff. Besides long-run real interest rate trends\, his current research projects focus on central bank balance sheet trends and banking crisis interventions. \nJames Grant\, a financial journalist and historian\, is the founder and editor of Grant’s Interest Rate Observer\, a twice-monthly journal of the investment markets. He is the author of nine books\, most of which pertain to finance or financial history. His book\, The Forgotten Depression\, 1921: The Crash that Cured Itself\, a history of America’s last governmentally unmedicated business-cycle downturn\, won the 2015 Hayek Prize of the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research. Bagehot: The Life and Times of the Greatest Victorian\, a biography of the muse of modern central banking\, was published in 2019. His television appearances include 60 Minutes\, The Charlie Rose Show\, CBS Evening News\, and a 10-year stint on Wall Street Week. Grant is a Phi Beta Kappa alumnus of Indiana University. He earned a master’s degree in international relations from Columbia University\, began his career in journalism in 1972 at the Baltimore Sun\, and joined the staff of Barron’s in 1975. \nRichard Sylla\, Ph.D.\, is professor emeritus of economics and the former Henry Kaufman Professor of the History of Financial Institutions and Markets at New York University Stern School of Business. He is the author of several books\, including Alexander Hamilton: The Illustrated Biography\, Genealogy of American Finance\, The American Capital Market\, and A History of Interest Rates. His writing has appeared in numerous publications\, including the Journal of Economic History\, Explorations in Economic History\, Small Business and American Life: A History and Business and Economic History. He has served on the editorial board of many journals that include Enterprise and Society\, Economic and Financial History Abstracts\, and the Museum of American Finance’s quarterly magazine\, Financial History.

He has been a member of the museum’s board of trustees since 2004 and served as chairman of the board from 2010 to 2020. In 2012\, Sylla was elected a fellow in the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Henry Kaufman on The Day the Markets Roared: How a 1982 Forecast Sparked a Global Bull Market
DESCRIPTION:As we emerge from a global pandemic and a period of economic stagnation\, we can look to the past to gain inspiration for better times ahead. The year 1982 marked the start of almost four decades of U.S. economic growth. However\, this classic Wall Street story has never been fully told—until now. In his latest book\, The Day the Markets Roared: How a 1982 Forecast Sparked a Bull Market (Matt Holt Books\, 2021)\, legendary economist Henry Kaufman\, Ph.D.\, tells his first-hand account of one remarkable day in financial and economic history. \nAfter painful years of high interest rates and the inflation of the late 1960s and 1970s\, consumers were paying 17% and higher to borrow money. But by the end of one summer day almost 40 years ago\, the stock market had undergone its second-biggest rally since WWII\, while bond prices soared and interest rates plunged. Kaufman himself had written a memo that sparked this tremendous boom\, and it set the global markets on fire. The Day the Markets Roared features a rich cast of characters\, from Salomon’s John Gutfreund and interest rate guru Sydney Homer to Kaufman’s longtime friend Paul Volcker\, former chairman of the Federal Reserve. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: Sris Chatterjee\, chair of the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:05 p.m.: Speaker Introduction: David Cowen\, president and CEO of the Museum of American\nFinance \n12:08 p.m.: Discussion: Henry Kaufman \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speaker\nHenry Kaufman is president of Henry Kaufman & Company Inc.\, a firm established in April 1988\, specializing in economic and financial consulting. For the previous 26 years\, he was with Salomon Brothers Inc.\, where he was managing director\, member of the Executive Committee\, and in charge of the firm’s four research departments. He was also a vice chairman of the parent company\, Salomon Inc. Before joining Salomon Brothers\, Kaufman was in commercial banking and served as an economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. \nKaufman received a B.A. in economics from New York University\, an M.S. in finance from Columbia University\, and a Ph.D. in banking and finance from the NYU Graduate School of Business Administration. He also received an honorary Doctor of Law degree from NYU\, and honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degrees from Yeshiva University and Trinity College. His latest book\, The Day the Markets Roared\, will be released in April 2021. He has also written Tectonic Shifts in Financial Markets (2017)\, The Road to Financial Reformation (2009)\, and On Money and Markets\, A Wall Street Memoir (2000). In 1987\, Kaufman was awarded the first George S. Eccles Prize for excellence in economic writing from the Columbia Business School for his book Interest Rates\, the Markets\, and the New Financial World. \nCopies of The Day the Markets Roared will be raffled off to attendees. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: John F. Wasik on Lincolnomics: How President Lincoln Constructed the Great American Economy
DESCRIPTION:Has there ever been a time when Abraham Lincoln has gone silent? Our immortal conscience on civil rights and individual freedom is speaking to us yet again in the time of COVID-19 and public unrest. Yet Lincoln has managed to become even more relevant as we tackle infrastructure\, health care\, climate change\, and human rights. The forthcoming book by John F. Wasik\, Lincolnomics: How President Lincoln Constructed the Great American Economy\, puts the 16th president in a powerful new light: He was our foremost architect of economic development\, equal treatment\, and physical and intellectual improvements\, from transportation to medical research. \nIn this presentation\, Wasik will show a vastly under-studied side of Lincoln. As the only president to hold a patent\, he was an innovator. During his brief time as a surveyor\, he was an urban planner. Surprisingly\, his longest and most comprehensive speeches were devoted to the culture of invention\, “internal improvements\,” and research and development. \nLincoln as “Innovator in Chief” has enhanced relevance today\, as the new Congress and president lean into a bold program on national infrastructure\, climate change\, and health care reforms. Lincoln not only gave the nation a framework for a more just and equitable society\, he literally told us how we could go about building it. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: James Kelly\, director of the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:05 p.m.: Speaker Introduction: David Cowen\, president and CEO of the Museum of American\nFinance \n12:08 p.m.: Discussion: John F. Wasik \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speaker\nWasik is the author of 19 books and has spoken all across North America. As a journalist\, he’s written for The New York Times\, Forbes\, The Wall Street Journal\, AARP\, Barron’s\, Fortune.com\, Money\, Reader’s Digest\, and Washington Monthly\, and he has been a columnist for Bloomberg News\, Reuters\, and other national publications. In 2018\, Wasik was named an Illinois Road Scholar for the Illinois Humanities Council. \nCopies of Lincolnomics will be raffled off to attendees. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Hidden in Plain Sight: How to Save Active Investment Management\, Part I: The Situation
DESCRIPTION:Diversification is a core principle of investing. Yet money managers have not applied it to their own ranks. Only around 10 percent of portfolio managers—the people most directly responsible for investing your money—are female\, and the numbers are even worse at the ownership level. What are the causes of this underrepresentation\, and what are its consequences—including for firms’ and clients’ bottom lines? \nIn Undiversified: The Big Gender Short in Investment Management\, experienced practitioners Ellen Carr and Katrina Dudley examine the lack of women in investment management and propose solutions to improve the imbalance. They explore the barriers that subtly but effectively discourage women from entering and staying in the industry at each point in the pipeline. At the entry-level\, the lack of visible role models discourages students from considering the field\, and those who do embark on an investment management career face many obstacles to retention and promotion. Carr and Dudley highlight the importance of informal knowledge about how to navigate career tracks\, without which women are left at a disadvantage in an industry that lionizes confidence. They showcase a diverse constellation of successful female portfolio managers to demystify the profession. \nDrawing on wide-ranging research; interviews with prospective\, current\, and former industry practitioners; and the authors’ own experiences\, Undiversified makes a compelling case that increasing the number of women could help transform active investment management at a time when it is under threat from passive strategies and technological innovation. \nAgenda \n5:30 p.m.: Welcome Remarks and Speaker Introductions: Donna Rapaccioli\, dean of the Gabelli School of Business \n5:35 p.m.: Fireside Chat: Ellen Carr\, Katrina Dudley\, and Dan Hanson; moderated by Laura Rittenhouse \n6:15 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n6:30 p.m.: Closing Remarks: Dean Rapaccioli \nAbout the Speakers\nEllen Carr has more than two decades of experience as a high-yield bond portfolio manager\, most recently at Weaver C.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: George G. Szpiro on Risky Decisions: How Mathematical Paradoxes and Other Conundrums Have Shaped Economic Science
DESCRIPTION:At its core\, economics is about making decisions. In the history of economic thought\, great intellectual prowess has been exerted toward devising exquisite theories of optimal decision-making in situations of constraint\, risk\, and scarcity. Yet not all of our choices are purely logical\, so there is a long-standing tension between those emphasizing the rational and irrational sides of human behavior. One strand develops formal models of rational utility-maximizing\, while the other draws on what behavioral science has shown about our tendency to act irrationally. \nIn this talk\, George Szpiro will give examples of mathematical paradoxes and psychological conundrums that have led to advancements in economic science. He will challenge the audience with questions about how to make decisions\, thereby showing how people who believe themselves to be rational can be led astray. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: Donna Rapaccioli\, dean of the Gabelli School of Business \n12:05 p.m.: Speaker Introduction: David Cowen\, president and CEO of the Museum of American\nFinance \n12:08 p.m.: Discussion: George G. Szpiro \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speaker\nGeorge G. Szpiro is an award-winning author and journalist. A longtime correspondent for the Swiss daily Neue Zürcher Zeitung\, his many books include Numbers Rule: The Vexing Mathematics of Democracy\, from Plato to the Present (2010) and Pricing the Future: Finance\, Physics\, and the 300-Year Journey to the Black-Scholes Equation (2011). \nCopies of Risky Business will be raffled off to attendees. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Kevin R. Mirabile on Exotic Alternative Investments
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion with Kevin R. Mirabile\, author of Exotic Alternative Investments: Standalone Characteristics\, Unique Risks and Portfolio Effects (Anthem Press\, 2021). In the book\, Mirabile evaluates exotic alternative investment opportunities\, such as life settlements\, litigation funding\, farmlands\, royalties\, weather derivatives\, collectibles\, and other unique asset classes\, providing an in-depth analysis of the returns\, risks\, opportunities\, and portfolio effects for anyone who wants to expand their investment horizons. \nThis book—written for individual investors\, financial advisors\, and academics who desire knowledge about investment products beyond just stocks and bonds or vanilla hedge funds\, private equity\, and real estate investments—provides a critical link to industry data and original research that supports the case for adding exotic alternative investments to traditional portfolios. \nAn excellent tool for practitioners wishing to understand the rationale and impact of allocating capital to these exotic and less-understood investment opportunities\, the book includes an analysis of returns and risk from a wide range of direct investments in individual exotic asset classes\, as well as from investing in public shares and exchange-traded funds. It also includes a section on how these exotic investments performed relative to both traditional and alternative investments\, such as hedge funds\, both before and after the spring 2020 market crash. \nDigital copies of Exotic Alternative Investments will be raffled off to attendees and have been donated by Alex Wright\, GABELLI ’00. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks and Speaker Introduction: Donna Rapaccioli\, dean of the Gabelli School of Business \n12:08 p.m.: Fireside Chat: Kevin R.

SUMMARY:CANCELED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE: Mervyn King and Rana Foroohar on ‘Radical Uncertainty: Decision-Making Beyond the Numbers’
DESCRIPTION:Some uncertainties are resolvable. The insurance industry’s actuarial tables and the gambler’s roulette wheel both yield to the tools of probability theory. Most situations in life\, however\, involve a deeper kind of uncertainty\, a radical uncertainty for which historical data provide no useful guidance to future outcomes. Radical uncertainty concerns events whose determinants are insufficiently understood for probabilities to be known or forecasting possible. Before President Barack Obama made the fateful decision to send in the Navy Seals\, his advisers offered him wildly divergent estimates of the odds that Osama bin Laden would be in the Abbottabad compound. In 2000\, no one—not least Steve Jobs—knew what a smartphone was; how could anyone have predicted how many would be sold in 2020? And financial advisers who confidently provide the information required in the standard retirement planning package—what will interest rates\, the cost of living\, and your state of health be in 2050?—demonstrate only that their advice is worthless. \nThe limits of certainty demonstrate the power of human judgment over artificial intelligence. In most critical decisions there can be no forecasts or probability distributions on which we might sensibly rely. Instead of inventing numbers to fill the gaps in our knowledge\, we should adopt business\, political\, and personal strategies that will be robust to alternative futures and resilient to unpredictable events. Within the security of such a robust and resilient reference narrative\, uncertainty can be embraced\, because it is the source of creativity\, excitement\, and profit. \nAbout the speakers:\nMervyn King\, former governor of the Bank of England\, is a professor at New York University and emeritus professor at the London School of Economics. He is the author of Radical Uncertainty and The End of Alchemy\, among other books. King will be interviewed by Rana Foroohar\, the global business columnist and an associate editor at the Financial Times. She is also CNN’s global economic analyst and the author of Makers and Takers: The Rise of Finance and the Fall of American Business. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Museum of American Finance.  \nConversation followed by Q&A and reception. Registration opens at 5:30 p.m. The first 100 attendees will receive a copy of the book.

SUMMARY:Gregory Zuckerman on ‘The Unlikely Story of How Jim Simons Solved the Market’
DESCRIPTION:Jim Simons is the greatest moneymaker in modern financial history. No other investor can touch his record. Since 1988\, Renaissance’s signature Medallion fund has generated average annual returns of 66%. The firm has earned profits of more than $100 billion—Simons is worth $23 billion. \nDrawing on unprecedented access to Simons and dozens of current and former employees\, Zuckerman\, a veteran Wall Street Journal investigative reporter\, tells the gripping story of how a world-class mathematician and former code breaker mastered the market. Simons pioneered a data-driven\, algorithmic approach that’s sweeping the world. Zuckerman’s most recent book\, The Man Who Solved the Market\, is a portrait of a modern-day Midas who remade markets in his own image\, but failed to anticipate how his success would impact his firm and his country. It’s also a story of what Simons’s revolution means for the rest of us. \nAbout the Author\nGregory Zuckerman is the author of The Greatest Trade Ever and The Frackers\, and is a special writer at the Wall Street Journal. At the Journal\, Zuckerman writes about financial firms\, personalities\, and trades\, as well as hedge funds and other investing and business topics. He’s a three-time winner of the Gerald Loeb award\, the highest honor in business journalism. Zuckerman also appears regularly on CNBC\, Fox Business\, and other networks and radio stations around the globe. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Museum of American Finance.  \nTalk followed by Q&A and reception. Registration opens at 5:30 p.m. The first 100 attendees will receive a copy of the book.
