                      "Conference on Financial Engineering"
                                                Izmir, Turkey
                                          October 20-21, 2011

        Financial engineering is the process of creating new securities or processes, and designing new financial instruments. More importantly financial engineering is the progression of employing statistical, mathematical, financial and computer skills into the pricing, hedging, trading and portfolio management decisions. Utilizing various derivative securities and other methods, financial engineering aims to precisely control the financial risk that an entity takes on. Despite its complexity, financial engineering has been a growing discipline and becomes more and more important in our globalised financial world. However, financial innovation in general and financial derivative instruments in particular has been at the top of the list of culprits for the recent global financial crisis.  

        The Conference on Financial Engineering is designed as a premier forum for the presentation of new advances and research results in this field. The Conference is aimed at to provide a ground for academicians, researchers and financial market practitioners to exchange their views and opinions as well as research findings in the domain of interest.
