About EDHEC-Risk Institute
Since 2001, EDHEC Business School has been pursuing an ambitious policy in terms
of international research. This policy, known as "Research for Business", aims
to make EDHEC an academic institution of reference for the industry in a small
number of areas in which the school has reached critical mass in terms of
expertise and research results. Among these areas, asset and risk management
have occupied privileged positions, leading to the creation in 2001 of a major
research facility: EDHEC-Risk Institute. This institute now boasts a team of
over 95 permanent professors, engineers and support staff, as well as 48
research associates from the financial industry and affiliate professors.
EDHEC-Risk Institute is located at campuses in Singapore, which was established
at the invitation of the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS); the City of
London in the United Kingdom; Nice and Paris in France; and New York in the
United States. The philosophy of the institute is to validate its work by
publication in prestigious academic journals, but also to make it available to
professionals and to participate in industry debate through its Position Papers,
published studies and conferences. Each year, EDHEC-Risk organises three
conferences for professionals in order to present the results of its research,
one in London (EDHEC-Risk Days Europe), one in Singapore (EDHEC-Risk Days Asia),
and one in New York (EDHEC-Risk Days North America) attracting more than 2,500
professional delegates.
To ensure the distribution of its research to the industry, EDHEC-Risk also
provides professionals with access to its website, www.edhec-risk.com, which is
entirely devoted to international risk and asset management research. The
website, which has more than 65,000 regular visitors, is aimed at professionals
who wish to benefit from EDHEC-Risk's analysis and expertise in the area of
applied portfolio management research. Its monthly newsletter is distributed to
more than 1.5 million readers.
EDHEC-Risk Institute also has highly significant executive education activities
for professionals. In partnership with CFA Institute, it has developed advanced
seminars based on its research which are available to CFA charterholders and
have been taking place since 2008 in New York, Singapore and London. EDHEC-Risk
Institute has an original PhD in Finance programme which, in addition to its
highly selective residential track for young talents worldwide, has an executive
track for high level professionals who already have master's degrees from
prestigious universities and significant industry experience. These
professionals are looking to go beyond their usual activities in order to
develop research on the concepts that are relevant to their occupation.
Complementing the core faculty, this unique PhD in Finance programme has highly
prestigious affiliate faculty from universities such as Princeton, Wharton,
Oxford, Chicago and CalTech.
In 2012, EDHEC-Risk Institute signed two strategic partnership agreements with
the Operations Research and Financial Engineering department of Princeton
University to set up a joint research programme in the area of risk and
investment management, and with Yale School of Management to set up joint
certified executive training courses in North America and Europe in the area of
investment management.
Building on its experience in the area of beta analysis and creation, EDHEC-Risk
Institute has also created ERI Scientific Beta, which aims to be the leading
provider of advanced beta for the investment industry. This initiative is based
on all of the research conducted by EDHEC in the area of indices and benchmarks.
