- EMITTERS OF MUTUAL FUNDS AND OTHER FINANCIAL PRODUCTS LACK INFORMATION ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS. THEY MOSTLY OPERATE WITH A PRODUCT-CENTRIC MARKE TING CONCEPT. WITH INFORMATION ABOUT CUSTOMERS, THEY COULD SHIFT TOWARDS A MORE CUSTOMER-CENTRIC STRATEGY. HOWEVER, SUCH A STRATEGY DEMANDS INFOR MATION THAT IS HARDLY AVAILABLE. VIRTUAL PORTFOLIOS CAN BRIDGE THIS GAP AND PROVIDE EMITTERS OF FINANCIAL PRODUCTS WITH KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS AND THEIR COMPETITORS. THIS ARTICLE ILLUSTRATES THE INSIGHTS THAT VIRTUAL PORTFOLIOS CAN PROVIDE TO EMITTERS OF A MUTUAL FUND.

- PRO-CYCLICALITY OF COLLATERAL HAIRCUTS AND MARGINS HAS BECOME A WIDELY PROCLAIMED BEHAVIOUR BUT EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE ON THIS TOPIC IS QUITE SPARSE AND THE DISCUSSIONS ARE PRIMARILY DRIVEN BY INSIGHTS DERIVED FROM THEORETICAL MODELS. BASED ON A UNIQUE DATA SET, WE CONSTRUCT A MEASURE OF SYSTEMIC ILLIQUIDITY OF BOND COLLATERALS AND APPLY BUBBLE DETECTION TECHNIQUES TO IDENTIFY IRRATIONAL BEHAVIOUR AND PRO-CYCLICAL TENDENCIES. FINALLY, WE PROPOSE A QUANTITATIVE TRIGGER AND DESIGN FOR MACROPRUDENTIAL HAIRCUT ADD-ONS.

- IN COMPARISON TO TRADITIONAL IT PARADIGMS, CLOUD COMPUTING ENABLES TO OBTAIN DESIRED COMPUTING RESOURCES ON-DEMAND WITHOUT REQUIRING LARGE, UPFRONT INVESTMENTS AND TO DYNAMICALLY ADAPT AND SCALE THESE RESOURCES TO VARYING BUSINESS REQUIREMENTS. HOWEVER, CLOUD COMPUTING IS NOT A PANACEA. THIS DRIVES THE NEED TO EXAMINE THE SPECIFIC REASONS AND REQUIREMENTS FOR CLOUD ADOPTION IN PRACTICE. HERE, WE FOLLOW AN ANALYTICAL APPROACH TO EXAMINE CLOUD ADOPTION BY CONDUCTING A LITERATURE SURVEY AND AN EMPIRICAL STUDY.

- ROBO-ADVICE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO DISRUPT THE MARKET FOR FINANCIAL ADVICE. ALGORITHMS ALREADY DELIVER LOW-COST, AUTOMATIC, AND STANDARDIZED INVESTMENT GUIDANCE TO CLIENTS FROM ALL WEALTH LEVELS AND ESPECIALLY TO THOSE PREVIOUSLY EXCLUDED FROM PERSONAL FACE-TO-FACE ADVICE. TODAY’S OFFERINGS CONCENTRATE ON CONVENIENCE AND COMPLEXITY REDUCTION, COUPLED WITH PASSIVE INVESTMENTS. THE NEXT STEP WILL ADVANCE ALGORITHMS TO DELIVER TAILOR-MADE DECISION SUPPORT FOR THE GROWING NUMBER OF SELF-DIRECTED INVESTORS. THIS ARTICLE PRESENTS REAL-LIFE EMPIRICAL RESULTS ON THE INTRODUCTION OF A PORTFOLIO OPTIMIZATION TOOL THAT GUIDES BROKERAGE CLIENTS TOWARDS INDIVIDUAL OPTIMAL PORTFOLIOS.

- TO INCREASE THE INFORMATION SECURITY AWARENESS AMONG THEIR WORKFORCE AND TO ACHIEVE SECURE INFORMATION SYSTEMS, DECISION-MAKERS EMPLOY MEASURES OF INFORMATION SECURITY, SUCH AS SECURITY POLICIES OR ASSOCIATED TRAINING AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS. HOWEVER, THESE MEASURES MIGHT STRESS EMPLOYEES. THIS IS TRUE IF, FOR INSTANCE, INFORMATION SECURITY MEASURES ARE PERCEIVED AS DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND, AS AN INVASION OF PRIVACY, OR IF THEY GIVE RISE TO CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. CONSEQUENTLY, A MULTI-FACETED PERSPECTIVE ON EMPLOYEES' STRUGGLE WITH INFORMATION SECURITY IS DISCUSSED.
