FX Exotic Options It has been a pleasure to attend the course on FX Exotic Option held by Prof Wystup. He gave us a very well described picture of today's FX industry. During the course, he shared his ideas with great enthusiasm and clarity, giving us many examples to work on. One of the best teachers I met in my experience. LFS did a great job organizing this course. Dario Alitab, Quantitative Analyst Maths Refresher for Finance The course brings you back to the basics of mathematics, to those theories and equations that are really important in the financial world. As a researcher exactly what I needed to start with new research ideas.

Gianluca Conzon, Unknown Implementing a Robust ICAAP Framework Valuable course, as an internal auditor expected to form an opinion about the effectiveness of the ICAAP framework the tutor helped me to undersand how other banks translate the guidelines (principle based) to a robuust ICAAP framework by sharing his own view and best practices in the sector. Lucas van der Steen, Senior internal audit specialist Fixed Income Attribution One of the best and most useful training I've had.

[…] Allen Pierce, First Vice President - Wealth Management Volatility: Trading and Managing Risk Dr. Simon Acomb's delivery was a rigorous but very insightful practical training tailored for Quants on volatility modelling.
