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.

Learn how to invest in financial research with author Cheryl Einhorn at this book lecture sponsored by the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis. \nEvery day\, people around the world make financial decisions. They choose to invest in a stock\, sell their holdings in a mutual fund\, or buy a condominium. These decisions are complex and financially tricky—even for financial professionals. But the literature available on financial research is dated and narrowly focused without any real practical application.

AREA is applicable to all sorts of financial sleuthing\, whether for investment analysis or investigative journalism. It allows you to be the expert in your own life. \nFirst 100 attendees will receive a free copy of the book. \nAbout the Author: \nCheryl Strauss Einhorn is the creator of the AREA Method\, a decision making system for individuals and companies to solve complex problems. She is the founder of CSE Consulting and the author of the award-winning book Problem Solved: A Powerful System for Making Complex Decisions with Confidence & Conviction.

Banker\, man of letters\, inventor of the Treasury bill and author of Lombard Street\, the still-canonical guide to stopping a run on the banks\, Bagehot prescribed the doctrines that―decades later―inspired the radical responses to the world’s worst financial crises. \nBorn in the small market town of Langport\, just after the Panic of 1825 swept across England\, Bagehot followed in his father’s footsteps and took a position at the local family bank―but his influence on financial matters would soon spread far beyond the county of Somerset. Persuasive and precocious\, he came to hold sway in political circles\, making high-profile friends\, including William Gladstone\, and enemies\, such as Lord Overstone and Benjamin Disraeli. As a prolific essayist on wide-ranging topics\, Bagehot won the admiration of Matthew Arnold and Woodrow Wilson\, and delighted in paradox. He was also a misogynist\, and while he opposed slavery\, he misjudged Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War. As editor of The Economist\, he offered astute commentary on the financial issues of his day\, and his name lives on in an eponymous weekly column. \nAbout the Author\nJames Grant\, financial journalist and historian\, is the founder and editor of Grant’s Interest Rate Observer\, a twice-monthly journal of the investment markets. 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. His latest book is Bagehot: The Life and Times of the Greatest Victorian (W.W. Norton & Company\, July 2019). \nThis talk is followed by a reception. Doors open at 5:30 pm.

Stiglitz grew up during the golden age of capitalism in Gary\, Indiana\, a steel town whose fortunes rose and fell with the waves of industrialization and deindustrialization. But even during Stiglitz’s childhood\, life didn’t seem so golden. He saw inequality\, racial discrimination\, and labor strife all around\, and that was when capitalism was thriving and the middle class\, ascendant. In the ensuing years things grew far worse. Back in Gary for his 55th high school reunion in 2015\, Stiglitz was dismayed by the decrepit state of his hometown and the economic and physical miseries borne by many of his classmates. \nWhat had happened? Stiglitz has long sounded the alarm about growing economic inequality in the United States. As chief economist of the World Bank and Chairman of Clinton’s Council of Economic Advisors\, he saw first-hand the toll that financial deregulation\, globalization\, and government inaction can take on a community. This has played out over and over again in cities and towns across the United States\, feeding into the resentment that fueled Donald Trump’s election in 2016. The question we should ask ourselves today\, Stiglitz says\, is “What can we do about it?” \nIn his new book\, People\, Power and Profits: Progressive Capitalism for an Age of Discontent\, Stiglitz answers that question by laying out a 21st Century Social Contract to rebuild the American middle class and reinvigorate the American economy. Many candidates will likely use Stiglitz’s timely advice in their 2020 presidential campaigns. \nProf. Stiglitz will be interviewed by Bruce Greenwald\, the Robert Heilbrunn Professor of Finance and Asset Management at Columbia Business School and the academic co-director of the Heilbrunn Center for Graham & Dodd Investing. Described by The New York Times as “a guru to Wall Street’s gurus\,” Greenwald is an authority on value investing with additional expertise in productivity and the economics of information. \nConversation followed by reception. Seating is limited. The first 125 attendees will receive a free copy of the book. \nCo-sponsored by the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis and the Museum of American Finance URL:https://now.fordham.edu/event/nobel-laureate-joseph-stiglitz-on-people-power-and-profits-progressive-capitalism-for-an-age-of-discontent/ LOCATION:McNally Amphitheatre\, 140 West 62nd Street\, New York\, NY\, 10023\, United States CATEGORIES:Conferences and Symposia,Lectures,Networking and Career,Receptions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://now.fordham.edu/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Stiglitz-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis":MAILTO:gabellicenter@fordham.edu GEO:40.7713958;-73.9844894 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=McNally Amphitheatre 140 West 62nd Street New York NY 10023 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=140 West 62nd Street:geo:-73.9844894,40.7713958 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20190411T133000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20190411T190000 DTSTAMP:20250408T081405 CREATED:20190314T172750Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190314T172750Z UID:10006986-1554989400-1555009200@now.fordham.edu SUMMARY:ESG Integration in Fixed Income: How Credit Analysis of Risks and Opportunities Is Evolving DESCRIPTION:This event is intended to shine a spotlight on the drivers and current status of ESG integration in fixed income\, focus on developments at the largest credit rating agencies with regard to ESG integration in the assessment of creditworthiness\, and explore how investment management firms are considering ESG risks and opportunities in their fixed income investing.

Michael Price\, John Paulson\, Paul Singer\, and others offer practical perspectives on how their backgrounds in the risk-conscious world of merger arbitrage helped them make their biggest deals. They share their insights on the discipline that underlies their fortunes\, whether they practice the “plain vanilla” strategy of announced deals\, the aggressive strategy of activist investment\, or any strategy in between on the risk spectrum. \nMerger Masters delves into the human side of risk arbitrage\, exploring how top practitioners deal with the behavioral aspects of generating consistent profits from risk arbitrage. The book also includes perspectives from the other side of the mergers and acquisitions divide in the form of interviews with a trio of iconic CEOs: Bill Stiritz\, Peter McCausland\, and Paul Montrone. All three took advantage of M&A opportunities to help build long-term returns but often found themselves at odds with the short-term focus of Wall Street and merger investors. Told in lively\, accessible prose\, with bonus facts and figures for transaction junkies\, Merger Masters is an incomparable set of stories with plenty of unfiltered lessons from the best managers of our time. \nThe first 250 attendees will receive a copy of this book. \nSponsored by the CFA Society of NY\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance URL:https://now.fordham.edu/event/merger-masters-tales-of-arbitrage-presented-by-kate-welling-and-mario-gabelli/ LOCATION:McNally Amphitheatre\, 140 West 62nd Street\, New York\, NY\, 10023\, United States CATEGORIES:Lectures,Networking and Career,Receptions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://now.fordham.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Mergers-Masters-Web-Banner.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis":MAILTO:gabellicenter@fordham.edu GEO:40.7713958;-73.9844894 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=McNally Amphitheatre 140 West 62nd Street New York NY 10023 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=140 West 62nd Street:geo:-73.9844894,40.7713958 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20181012T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20181012T200000 DTSTAMP:20250408T081405 CREATED:20180924T160813Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180924T160813Z UID:10006576-1539352800-1539374400@now.fordham.edu SUMMARY:Distressed Debt: The Ultimate Value Investing Asset Class DESCRIPTION:When invested in correctly\, distressed debt can be one of the most profitable asset classes.
