DATA MINING is being increasingly applied in Finance, especially to
support financial asset management and risk management. It is considered
by many financial management institutions as an innovative technology to
support conventional quantitative techniques. Its use in computational
finance will have a major impact in the modeling of currency markets, in
tactical asset allocation, bond and stock valuation and portfolio
optimization. In addition the application of Data Mining for scoring tasks
delivers valuable support for the management of client credit risk and
fraud detection.
