2013 Forum

The Jacobs Levy Equity Management Center for Quantitative Financial Research presented its first Forum on Quantitative Finance on October 23, 2013 in New York, NY. More than 150 academics and industry practitioners attended the event, which included a ceremony to award the inaugural Wharton-Jacobs Levy Prize for Quantitative Financial Innovation to Nobel Laureate Harry Markowitz.

The program also featured four presentations, including a keynote on Leverage Aversion – A Third Dimension in Portfolio Theory and Practice by Bruce Jacobs and Kenneth Levy, Principals and Co-Founders of Jacobs Levy Equity Management. A cocktail reception followed the Prize ceremony.
