Equities - DVFA

featu DVFA celebrates its 50 Equities_
th anniversary_
‘Make use of the rich biotope of education. To me, the most important capability of DVFA
is its promotion of professionalism and independence as inherent values – in a way that
transcends national boundaries.’
The anniversary celebration offered a festive framework for the first-ever awarding of
the DVFA Medal of Honour, of which Prof. Dr. Norbert Walter was the inaugural recipient.
Fritz H. Rau, in his congratulatory speech, said that Dr. Walter had been a prominent
voice for more than two decades, often contributing trenchant advice on key economic
and financial market developments. He also emphasised that the remarks by Prof. Dr.
Norbert Walter were invariably characterised by intense analytical acuity.
Michael Hauck was also recognised for his life’s
work, not only in relation to the founding of DVFA.
Mr. Hauck, it was said, helped shape Frankfurt’s
financial centre through a profound commitment to
capital market transparency and qualification of
investment professionals. He was also commended
for his promotion of integrity, as part of DVFA and in
his numerous other functions and diverse initiatives.
Claus Döring, Chief Editor of Börsen Zeitung, was on
hand as the eloquent and entertaining host of the
event.
