the brunt of my focuse on thursday and friday will be:

- any and all things currency: forwards, swaps, options, risk management, etc
- differences of institutional investors
- quick review of RRTTLLU (return, risk, time, taxes, liquidity, legal, unique)
- motivations for the different option strategies
- GIPS/Asset Manager Code
- WACC w/ pensions
- integration/segmentation adjustments
- ad/disad of trading strategies, trading evaluation, etc
- factor models (all that Covi,m / σm; Bijσi + Bfjσf blah blah blah)

i don't think that is too much to learn in two days.... is it?? lol

T* is more complicated!!

Interest rates rising for life insurance company's is not a good thing

lower prepayments are a bad thing for life insurance company's (cash flow risk)

i thought that high interest rates are bad for LIABILITIES due to disintermediation and surrender.

but low interest rates are bad for ASSETS due to reinvestment risk / cash flow risk

T* is easy:

[tcg(1-Pi-Pd-Ptcg)]/(1-Piti-Pdtd-Pcgtcg)

Bottom is r* without r in front.

NO EXCUSES

JP that is a broad statement, youd have to evaluate the ALM duration exposures...

Doing an hour of corporate governance tonight. Reviewing some notes and formulas from 8-12 tomorrow morning. Then I'm dragging my @ss to the golf course for 9 holes and some relaxitime.

It's a scorcher in Dublin today, 22C and sun, sun, sun!
