Today's explosion of technology and computing power has revolutionized the delivery and processing of financial data.
Financial markets are increasingly global.
Innovative use of exotic financial instruments has raised the sophistication-level of risk management techniques. Only a handful of similar facilities exist on U.S. campuses, including Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Texas, and Illinois Institute of Technology. Currently housed in the Adamian Graduate Center, Bentley's Trading Room is a practical, hands-on vehicle for presenting risk management and financial analysis concepts to students and the corporate community. While finance majors are the primary users, undergraduate and graduate students studying accountancy, computer information systems, management, marketing, and other business disciplines will also take advantage of the trading room. For the corporate community, the Trading Room is a resource for current and future employees, offering training in areas such as trading, risk management, back-office functions, marketing, and technology.
