NEW YORK, N.Y. -- The leading North American conference on derivative financial markets takes place in New York City's financial hub this April 25 and 26. The opening speaker is Stephen Ross, the inventor of arbitrage pricing theory (APT) and other findings that have helped change the way people think about investing. One Nobel laureate in economics said of Ross: "Listen carefully. Everything he says is like gold." Ross' latest ideas and other empirical results in futures, options, new forms of pricing models and risk management will be shared at the 13th Annual Conference on Derivatives. It is sponsored by Cornell University's Theory Center and Johnson Graduate School of Management and The Mathworks, and takes place at the New York Information Technology Center, 55 Broad St., 4th floor.
