EQDerivatives is responding to market demand and launching the latest forum dedicated to cross-asset volatility, derivatives and quantitative investing education – Japan EQD.
Demand for global cross-asset volatility strategies and quantitative investing solutions in Japan is growing, driven by negative interest rates, yield curve control policy being scrapped and volatility compression. The event is a unique gathering of institutional investors active in multi-asset, quantitative investment and cross-asset derivatives strategies.
