"How much would you pay to earn a university education? Would you pay even $50,000? On Wednesday, Reuters reported that financiers are aggressively seeking to collect their grad degrees, chasing out other students who can only afford part of the tuition. Reuters also reported that financiers are earning dramatically more than other university students, and even more than many of their parents earned back when they were getting their undergrad degrees. In addition to earning more than most university graduates in finance, the research shows that their salaries and positions are overwhelmingly high-paying. This is in stark contrast to the picture the Obama Administration painted when it rolled out an ambitious college"

"Since the American Bankruptcy Act was enacted in 1913, bankruptcies were a sort of judicial process. The court was designed to ensure the ends of justice – an orderly and fair legal proceeding. The court has amended this process over the years and the current proceedings follow a far more financially relevant precedent. The court has now adopted the term “payment plan” to describe the process in place before bankruptcy. In this case, an individual’s finances and opportunities to earn money have always been taken into consideration before debtors were declared bankrupt. The court’s shift is largely the result of the financial services industry. With bankruptcy courts deciding who should be declared bankrupt and with financial institutions advising on the path to recover funds, a new “arithmetic” has emerged. If the finance industry continues to earn profits, financial decision-makers will also be making money off consumers. Since it is difficult to earn a profit in this way when"

"A quick glance at your bank balance or credit card statement and you'll know the impact of credit cards on your finances. More recently, they've become an even bigger part of your finances as your firm has sought to link these features to compensation. In some firms, your payments are often due at the end of the day. The sooner your payments are made, the more you can earn off them in fees, and the longer you can earn off the money you still owe the firm. So you might pay your card in cash and then return at your manager's office at the end of the day to pick it up to spend it on anything you want. That's not all. Every time you make a purchase or get a charge, your card provider passes the financial gain to the card issuer."

"I want to earn the income to make the finance decisions of my clients, and this was a way to do that,” Williams said. Perhaps the first test of the theory is to see if it has any impact at a major global consulting firm, where financial analysis is generally relegated to analytics specialists who tend to have more basic skill sets. “Their trading is more analytic, more quantitative, more analytic. The feedback I’ve gotten is that in the finance space, they’re seeing analytics at their highest levels,” Williams said. Among the firm’s financial analysts, the analytics skills are still relatively new. The firm has been testing its analytics trainers for the last three months, and more financial analysts have been taking the courses, but there is still a lot of work to do. Williams said that he has targeted 25 to 30 people in"

"How does this happen? How do your concerns, needs and financial data translate into trading strategies, earnings reports and research reports? The financial sector is overwhelmingly dominated by traditional analysts and has evolved little since the 1970s. The research process, the numbers, are stripped to a mathematical formula. And what results are analytically barebones models, mathematical models that are low on the cognitive ability needed to process or interpret financial information. The results don’t have to be that way. Experts, more appropriately data analysts, have access to analytic tools and methods, tools and methods that earn their keep, that “earn.” Salesforce provides solutions to the “wealth gap” problem: How do financial professionals earn their profit?

"The predictions are mostly pretty optimistic, although some of them do have reasons for pessimism. Such as productivity gains aren’t likely to be generated by the type of analytics software that our research lab is working on, such as automated research tools. Prosperity and growth come with certain risk profiles and the foundation of this prosperity is improving the welfare of people at every level of life. All analysts would agree with this statement but we generally measure how well people are doing by what is called “recovery.” Recovery generally means a national statistic of unemployment being low and the unemployment rate being low or falling. People who lose their jobs are not generally included in the statistics of unemployment in the sense that their job loss is not an event, so their recovery is measured by the unemployment rate. Looking at the employment data at the national level you see the unemployment rate getting lower and lower, and it was getting lower for a long time. The overall employment figures were declining along with the unemployment rate. Eventually, the overall employment figures and the unemployment rate stopped declining and started rising, and people started worrying that the recovery was not going to be as good as the statistics seemed to indicate. Employers have now created more than 5 million jobs and about 4.7 million of those jobs were created in the past year alone. So if you look at the overall employment situation over a longer period of time, you see that employment is actually declining because of the factors that the big statistic companies are not yet capturing. Why is this? It is partly because we are at a point in history where we need more analysis of the workforce. There are many more workers involved in the workforce today and more companies. There are new factors about these workers. They are not employed by one company. They might be employed by two companies. For example, retail workers are employed by five

"Insurance companies know how much they make from their big auto policies. They pay for financial analysis that studies those statistics and establishes the minimum compensation, which is at least 40% of premiums. Analysts make that money by examining trends that insurance companies use to predict and price insures. The insurance brokerage and risk management firm Willis Towers Watson publishes the research and analysis gathered on the industry. Here are the data points that define the typical analytical position for a financial analyst in the insurance industry. Analyst salary: High-level managers earn more than $300,000 and analysts with certain degrees of specialization earn more than $1 million annually. Industry experience: Nearly half of"

"Credit Risk Analysis: Attribution & Statistical Accuracy, Debt & Default Analysis To evaluate credit risk in the underwriting process, the analyst is responsible for modeling both the contractual liability (credit) and the voluntary liability (debt). This is done by a spreadsheet with data borrowed from Moody's Analytics in the U.S. Financial Services Conference. Then an analyst adds a range of prices in small increments to arrive at a margin. The bank would continue to do this while analyzing its individual assets. Ultimately, the finance manager decides what charge-off rates will be necessary. This is usually a few percentage points (or sometimes just 1%), meaning the bank expects some credit losses. The bank compares that loss rate to the cost of a loss of 1% in the whole portfolio and selects an appropriate charge-off"

"And, if you really are one of those who believes that in the investment universe most firms, including the investment funds, are very indifferent to those facts, please take this in the way it should be taken: Profit opportunities exist in investment fund management. Data shows that, in its analytical research division, the asset management industry earns profits in about 3% of the investment returns, whereas, if you consider only the profit from sales of financial instruments, that percentage rises considerably, from about 10% to about 14% of the average return. Considerable profits per investment opportunity, though. Do they really need analytical research capabilities to generate that kind of return? Probably not. In some ways, it looks quite"

"The Graduate Management Admissions Counselling & Research Centre (GMAC) has announced the release of its recent research report. This study explores key features of successful MBA graduates, who make a sizeable profit within a relatively short time of receiving an MBA. Based on a study of 119 MBA graduates, GMAC determined the key areas where graduate firms must focus their recruitment efforts to recruit and retain top MBA graduates. GMAC CEO Mark Andrews, said, ""While a long list of characteristics commonly associated with successful MBA graduates is often cited, GMAC is now firmly of the view that these individuals do not come with a pre-existing set of financial assets. While some are very financially savvy and have made great personal financial gain from earning an MBA, the research indicates that the overwhelming majority of MBA graduates expect to make a profit from their investment within a relatively short period of time. The new report suggests that graduate firms would be well advised to concentrate on building an analytical research programme to support their work. These candidates are most likely to earn a reasonable return on investment."" Focusing on the research findings from GMAC's report, research organisation Digital Analytics UK (DANUK) are offering prospective MBA students the chance to earn £2000 for each complete 12-month analytical research project. Novelist and author Jacqueline Wilson wrote in the foreword for the research report that MBA graduates are trying to create the equivalent of a simple blue-collar job in the finance sector. ""The finance industry is all about economics, it's all about supply and demand and then also the finance industry itself is just about the industry of capitalism. These are big things and these are things that make people earn a good living. So when someone graduates and says 'I want to be part of the finance industry', they are coming to be part of the banking industry, they are coming to be part of the finance industry and that's a good thing."" Taking full advantage of new graduate salaries, Anderson Associates are offering all MBA students an early bird bonus of up to 25% on graduate recruitment fees. Finance recruiter Wealth Champions are also expecting record interest levels, after highlighting to new graduates the possibility of earning upwards of £65,000 a year with some organisations. Despite a decline in the number of MBA graduates being paid from finance, the overall earnings of MBA graduates have risen significantly. According to the research by Andrews and Richard Smith, managing director of analytics firm Jones Lang Lasalle, 2016 graduate salaries have increased by 17% over the previous year, while the starting salary for 2015 graduate salaries is 15% higher. However, with so many finance firms focusing on their competitiveness for graduate recruits, total salary gains are likely to be tempered going forward. Andrews concluded, ""For graduates with strong analytical""

"Analyst Recommendations In the last 2 years, UK shares have failed to keep up with global growth, creating a sort of global equity downturn. But some analysts have been suggesting that it’s about to change. Research from Invesco shows that in the last few months some of the UK’s most successful and experienced analysts have suggested that the UK is finally starting to earn its stripes on international equity markets. In fact, there has been one swing of the pendulum in the last year, with the share of analysts forecasting UK shares to fall compared to those who see them rising rising. Although the share of analysts making profits on US equities was higher, they were much more consistently predicting a positive result. The"
