The subject of the second T.N. Thiele Symposium is financial econometrics with particular focus on credit risk, statistical inference for financial models given by stochastic differential equations and extreme value theory.

The symposium is named after the great Danish astronomer, insurance mathematician and statistician Thorvald Nicolai Thiele (1838 - 1910). The First Thiele Symposium was held in 2000 to mark the 125th anniversary of the advent of Thiele's differential equation for the reserve on a life insurance policy.
