Oh, yes, quantitative engineers are vital to economic development and its wide-ranging processes!
However, nobody realized back in the early 1980s, that engineers would move out of tangible industries and services drove value-adding sectors of the real economy such as the constructions and productions engineering businesses and industries,
into the fast-moving and computing non-tangible sectors, which are banking, finance and asset management services economy.
Most of the engineers in the City and in other parts of the developed world have made more money in derivatives, quantitative trading, research, risk management and so on etc.
That again explains the engineers are today where the money is!

What is the difference between a master in financial risk management and a master in quantitative finance? Which is harder? @GARP_Risk
Risk Management focuses on loss identification, measurement, management and monitoring.
It's a Negative or Hazardous Incidence Reporting focussed science which has to be perfected and practised as a management art.
In a standard Financial Risk Degree, you might learn Financial Risk Management, ERM - Enterprise Risk Management and other aspects of Actuarial Sciences and/or QRM - Quantitative Risk Management which becomes very mathematical in overall terms.
Nations that fail economically gradually become Hyper-Nationalistic.
To name a few over the last century and in recent cases studied up to now included the 3rd Reich, Italy, possibly Imperial Japan due to USA Sanctions before WW2, USSR, and India and the USA(as seen under Trump).
Definitely, #China, as we study its example in a Political Science Masterclass, has become more and more nationalistic, since 79
The recent spade of CoronaVirus coupled with President Xi's style of governance will lead Chinese rhetoric to create more nationalistic hyperbole!
Also, Malaysia, which was largely a lame-duck nation with hardly any notable say on any sort of geostrategy or geopolitical matters, became extremely right-wing and Ultra-Nationalistic under @chedetofficial when the 1997 AFC- Asian Financial Crisis, swept away most of the region
I have been asked to do a detailed write-up on what does and does not constitute risk management.
There is a lot of confusion within the scholarly cum practitioner domain, as many topics are unjustly added or deleted from academic curriculums and workshop topical course outlines
Risk Management has a wide scope both within the financial services and non-financial services industry.
Especially, Risk as a subject has greatly benefited from the transfer of applicable and vocational knowledge outside the Insurance Field, over the years.
Risk as a profession, which was and continues to be dominated by Applied Statisticians, and Mathematicians, generally fitted well into the #Actuarial Domain, but, only until recently, when scholars from other non-related professions jumped into the market, offering afresh ideas.
What is Equity #Portfolio#Risk Management?
If I understand your question correctly, the Equity Portfolio Risk Management should be primarily be concerned with managing the market and liquidity risk of Equity or akin linked Securities. @GARP_Risk@CQFInstitute@icmacentre@ICMA
Other Portfolio Investment Management Risks might include =>
1.Transactional Risk
2.Price and Fair Value Modelling Risk 3.Financial Reporting Risks 4.Trading Microstructure Risks 5.Legal Risk
6.Hedging Risk using Risk Financing Methods
Investments and/or trades in the Equity Securities aka company issued shares generally falls into three-segmented and specialized market categories =>
If the connotation of risk is an intertwined concept and is difficult to quantify, how does a Risk Officer look at it?
Is there any way other than using copula models to determine systemic risk with long tails or a black swan event? @CQFInstitute@GARP_Risk@SOActuaries
I guess we are worried about Market and Credit Risks or other interrelated financial risks which can create conjoint loss given events.
Any #Gaussian distribution model will enable you to model and predict potential Operational, Liquidity and Balance sheet AL - (Asset - liability) Mismatch, Market and Credit drove losses under normal market conditions.
Why do young people leave quantitative trading 5 to 7 years in their career, and what's your advice for aspiring quantitative traders? @CQFInstitute@RiskDotNet@icmacentre@RiskMinds
The burnout (losing interest in the job) and dropout(leaving the job) rates are stupendous.
#Quantitative Specialist Roles as they exist in the Dealing Room in the form of #Treasury, Brokerage, Fund Management, #Investment Management, #Portfolio#Asset Management, #Derivative Market Making, and various other Front -Office #Risk Roles are highly demanding jobs indeed!
Most of the traders are asked to take a mandatory leave of up to two weeks or more at financial institutions, so they can relax a bit by staying away from the financial markets.
