Dear Colleagues,
The Hungarian Actuarial Society will organize its 4th Fall School in November on certain capital management issues. The reason why I am writing to you at this stage is that in spite of lack of some essential pieces of information (like location, accommodation, fees) the most important facts have been finalized: the timing and the scientific program. You may want to communicate this message to your members so that interested actuaries or other professionals may make a note in their calendar. Further details will be sent as they become final.
