“Minimally invasive mechanical circulatory support scientific data acquisition”

Heart failure is a prevalent disease affecting 250,000 people in North America alone. This disease can be treated by the transplant of a donor organ, but insufficient donor organs have led to the development of mechanical circulatory support which now provide a reliable alternate treatment option for patients. Unfortunately, many patients that could be helped […]

Liability-driven investment strategy and portfolio immunization: a dynamicalapproach.

Since the recent financial meltdown and because of the current economic instability, many fund managers tend to shift their total-return-oriented investment approach toward a liability-driven investment (‘LOI’) strategy. The main objective of such a strategy is to find investment portfolios that will match or outperform a liability stream (pensions, insurance claims, etc.). In a previous […]
