Waterfalls in Finance and Accounting for Heisenberg

Team d-fine, Frankfurt am Main

Abstract:

Though waterfalls seem to be perfectly localised items one of the challenges in their valuation and accounting actually lies in knowing where you are and with what speed everything is flowing around you.

"Valuing and accounting for Niagara Falls?! How can you do business in the financial industry with that?"

For an answer to those questions and an insight into why you may soon get paid for borrowing money, please visit the lectures of the d-fine team. With d-fine being one of the leading providers of demanding quantitative and technical consulting projects in Europe, we will provide you with first-hand insights into our day-to-day project work, i.e. bringing together financial institutions and waterfalls as well as negative interest and uncertainty.
