]> QWAFAFEW Worldwide - Quantitative Work Alliance for Applied Finance, Education & Wisdom http://www.qwafafew.org QWAFAFEW is an informal organization of quantitatively oriented professionals in various aspects of financial services (primarily investment management). The group was formed a number of years ago to provide a venue for quantitative researchers to discuss their evolving work with peers. As the field has become more &quot;main stream&quot; our membership has also broadened. Our membership includes a wide variety of interests and levels of responsibility. The members span the gamut from owners and senior executives of investment related organizations to recent entrants to the industry. Most attendees have some technical training beyond the M.B.A. level, and many have Ph.D.s All share a common interest in quantitative solutions to understanding investment markets. QWAFAFEW meetings are somewhat informal with a mix of social and intellectual content. Presentations are expected to be interactive (after a reserved period of at least 5 to 10 minutes for the speaker to present foundation material). Sometimes the interaction requires a kick-start. Typically, in keeping with the informal nature of the group, speakers use hand-outs rather than projection devices. Speakers who make materials available in electronic form for posting on the QWAFAFEW web site well before the meeting can expect at least half of the attendees to print out copies for use at the meeting. Presentations based on material used directly for client and prospect presentations is strongly discouraged (unless the presentation is unmasking fallacies and partial truths contained therein). en Vancouver BC Event 21 January 2010: The Future of Market Risk Management http://www.qwafafew.org/vancouver-20100121-blurb <p>For information on this event in Vancouver, go here: <a href="/vancouver-20100121">http://www.qwafafew.org/vancouver-20100121</a></p>" Thu, 14 Jan 2010 17:59:19 -0500 Early 2010 events in New York, Hartford, and Princeton http://www.qwafafew.org/early-2010-events <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META name=GENERATOR content="MSHTML 8.00.6001.18854"> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Verdana>For information on upcoming meetings in New York, Hartford, and Princeton, go to <A href="http://www.qwafafew.org/new-york-20100126">http://www.qwafafew.org/new-york-20100126</A></FONT></DIV> "</b> Thu, 14 Jan 2010 21:00:27 -0500 Development has begun -- read this post for Chapter event announcements and other news http://www.qwafafew.org/new-website-in-development <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META name=GENERATOR content="MSHTML 8.00.6001.18854"> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Verdana> <P>Work has begun in earnest on our new "look and feel" and we will be unwrapping the new website soon. </P> "</div></font></b> Tue, 29 Dec 2009 17:37:11 -0500 Job Openings [aka "Career Opportunities"] http://www.qwafafew.org/node/view/178 <p align="center"><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Please visit <a href="/jobs">this page</a> for a listing of recently-announced openings.</font> </p> Fri, 10 Dec 2004 16:21:15 -0500 We are in the process of rebuilding QWAFAFEW Worldwide's Website and adding new chapters in Denver and Vancouver http://www.qwafafew.org/aboutQW <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.6000.16608" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <P><FONT face=Arial>We&nbsp;are upgrading to a new version of our website.
