What Do GEMWeM Students Love Learning the Most? We asked Prof. Fabio Trojani what students find particularly interesting in his course, and here’s what he shared: "One topic that students find particularly interesting is using option portfolios to trade volatility and skewness risk in financial markets. This combines financial theory with practical trading strategies. Students learn to create and manage option portfolios, like straddles and strangles, to profit from changes in market volatility and the shape of asset returns. What makes this topic exciting is that it lets students understand market expectations through option prices. For example, implied volatility in option prices reflects the market’s view of future volatility. Similarly, volatility skew—where options with different strike prices have different implied volatilities—can signal market sentiment about future price movements. By analyzing these pricing patterns, students gain insights into both current market conditions and how investors expect the market to move in the future. This topic is compelling because it connects quantitative finance models with real-world market behavior, helping students apply theory to practice." If this fascinates you, you can dive deep into these concepts in Models & Empirical Methods, a core course of the GEMWeM program. 📅 And if you’re still hesitating to apply, don’t forget—the deadline is February 28!

We’re proud to highlight our ongoing collaboration with Vontobel Geneva, a valued partner in the GEMWeM internship program. This partnership provides our students with unique opportunities to gain hands-on experience in wealth management, bridging the gap between academic learning and the professional world.
Building bridges between academia and professional practice is essential to drive innovation in banking. I am therefore very excited to announce that Vontobel has established a collaboration with the Geneva School of Economics and Management (GSEM) and the Geneva Finance Research Institute (GFRI), both part of the University of Geneva. Under this collaboration, Vontobel Geneva offers students enrolled in the Geneva Master in Wealth Management (GEMWeM) one internship per year during the next three years. We will welcome a number of talented students, offering them an immersive experience in finance and wealth management. These internships will allow them to acquire practical skills alongside industry professionals. They will also complete their master’s program with a thesis closely tied to this experience. To underline our commitment to the next generation, we are also supporting the Geneva University Investment Club (GUIC). This inter-faculty student association offers its members practical experience in finance. The first joint event on the impact of artificial intelligence on tomorrow’s investment decisions, took place on December 12. Engaging tomorrow’s talents in our professional environment is about passing on essential expertise while benefiting from their fresh ideas. I am convinced that these exchanges will enrich both the students and our teams. I would like to warmly thank René Sieber and Philipp Krueger from the University of Geneva and Rafael Calado and Gessica Gagliardini from the Geneva University Investment Club!
