Analysis of investment decisions by professional asset managers

Master's thesis in cooperation with the investment company Infinigon. The aim of this master's thesis is to examine how professional asset managers act in different market phases. For this purpose, the buy/sell decisions of such managers should be analyzed over time and linked to macroeconomic market data (such as stock indices). The aim is to examine whether and how conclusions about their risk behavior can be drawn from the managers' investment decisions. The required time series with the relevant data are provided by Infinigon for the work. No specific prior knowledge is required for the work; but there should be interest in the statistical analysis of time series. Please contact Andre Guettler if you are interested.
