  CALL FOR PAPERS / CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT

WU GUTMANN CENTER SYMPOSIUM 2015
RETIREMENT AND ASSET MANAGEMENT
VIENNA AUGUST 19, 2015

The WU Gutmann Center for Portfolio Management is proud to announce its
eighth symposium to be held at WU (Vienna University of Economics and
Business), Austria. The general topic of the symposium is “Retirement
and Asset Management”. Papers submitted to the symposium can address
related aspects such as the role of financial institutions, lifetime
investment strategies, saving for future generations, the role of
demographics, or financial literacy, provided they are sufficiently
related to the general topic.

Note that the WU Gutmann Center Symposium 2015 will take place on the
day before the 42nd Annual Meeting of the European Finance Association
(EFA) (www.efa2015.org <http://www.efa2015.org>). Both conferences will
take place on the new WU Campus (www.wu.ac.at/campus/en
<http://www.wu.ac.at/campus/en>). The EFA Annual Meeting opens on August
19 in the evening, after the symposium has been concluded.

The deadline for paper submissions is *March 11, 2015 at midnight CET

Before clicking the link below to enter the online submission system
