He continued his studies at the joint Actuarial and Financial Mathematics MSc of the Eötvös Lóránd University and the Corvinus University of Budapest with a major in Actuarial studies. During the master’s program, Kristóf joined the Empirical Finance Research group and studied the interconnectedness of financial networks and their impact on systemic stability.

He taught econometrics to undergraduate students and participated in econometric research by designing and implementing econometric simulations. His master’s thesis revealed that financial companies with Russian exposure had an “excess” systemic risk compared to firms operating outside Russia.
