Hello! I’m Ben(jamin) and I was a mentor for the CFM class of 2018. I just completed my 2A term and was working in Waterloo for my second co-op during winter 2019. I was a Blockchain Developer for a start-up in downtown Toronto called NxM Labs and I’m currently working as an Investment Developer at Equitable Life in Waterloo.
My name is Janine and I’m in 4B enrolled in the Computing and Financial Management program. I’m currently on exchange in Hong Kong at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) for my Winter 2019 term.
My name is Andy Wang and I graduated in 2013 from the class of 2008.
I only knew computer science (CS) back in grade 12 and didn’t know a thing about accounting or finance. I saw this program randomly and wanted to take on a challenge in addition to the CS side. I’m so glad I did and things have worked out!
Chaoran Wang is a graduate of the Computing and Financial Management (CFM) program from the class of 2013. We asked him to share his experience with the CFM program. Here is his story.
Evelyn is a first-year Computing and Financial Management student. She joined Waterloo Entrepreneurship Residence Connection (WERC) when she started school.
The Computing and Financial Management (CFM) program kicked off its first student-led hackathon for first year CFM students. The hackathon was held with the aim of helping first year CFM students develop collaboration and time management skills. Students also learned how to compose optimum financial portfolios and build clean coding styles.
The Computing and Financial Management (CFM) program is happy to welcome the return of Professor Yuying Li as its new CFM Co-Director.
The School of Accounting and Finance's (SAF) sixth Annual Investment Research Challenge proved to be another memorable experiential opportunity for SAF students. Serving as a training ground for students who have gone on to win external competitions, including the global championship for the 2016 CFA Research Challenge, 18 student teams competed in July for a top prize of $2,000. Two CFM students are among the winners of the first-placed team.
On July 30, 2018 in Toronto, Neuberger Berman announced the formation of a research partnership with the University of Waterloo to study and develop data-driven techniques for investment management.
