WU Gutmann Center Sympo­sium

Financial Advice and Asset Management

Monday, June 19^th, 2017

The finan­cial crisis has revived the inte­rest in the role of finan­cial advice and in parti­cular the stan­dards that finan­cial advi­sors should be held to. While finan­cial advice is an essen­tial part of asset manage­ment, poli­cy-­ma­kers are concerned about conflicts of inte­rests between finan­cial advi­sors and their clients.

The WU Gutmann Center Sympo­sium 2017 at WU addresses various aspects of finan­cial advice and asset manage­ment. The spea­kers shed light on the under­lying factors, inclu­ding beha­vioral aspects, and market struc­ture that influ­ence these conflicts of inte­rests and thereby the quality of finan­cial advice. In addi­tion, they high­light possible solu­tions to deal with the incen­tive problems.
