What is Financial Engineering?
Financial engineering is the application of mathematical methods to the solution of risk management problems in finance. Financial engineers apply tools from finance, applied mathematics, computer science, statistics and economic theory. Investment banks, hedge funds, insurance companies, corporate risk managers and regulatory agencies apply financial engineering methods to problems such as derivative securities valuation, risk management, strategic planning and dynamic investment strategies. As the pace of financial innovation increases, the need for highly qualified people with specific training in financial engineering intensifies.
