EDHEC Asset Management Education
The mission of EDHEC Asset Management Education is to help investment professionals to upgrade their skills with advanced risk and asset management training across traditional and alternative classes.

Benefiting from the experience of a leading business school recognised as a centre of excellence for applied research in risk and asset management, we offer preparatory solutions for the CAIA® examinations and a range of executive courses in investment management.

EDHEC Asset Management Education is registered with CFA Institute as an Approved Provider of the Continuing Education Programme and has been an Authorised CAIA Preparatory Program Provider since 2004.
EDHEC Business School believes that academic research has a vital role to play in promoting innovation and constantly raising professional standards and has spelled out its educational credo as ‘professional development through research-based excellence.’ The PhD in Finance it has organised in conjunction with the EDHEC Risk and Asset Management Research Centre is the culmination of this ambition. The purpose of the PhD in Finance at EDHEC Business School is to help outstanding individuals become autonomous researchers and lifelong innovators by enabling them to develop the scientific background and skills required to define, conduct and complete research projects that advance knowledge and practices in the financial industry. This unique programme offers both a residential track for high-potential graduate students who will hold part-time research or teaching positions at EDHEC Business School, and an executive track for high-level practitioners in full-time jobs. The programme is taught by an exceptional team of international scholars who not only hold prestigious qualifications, distinctions and appointments but have also made significant contributions to the field of financial economics through research, consulting, and executive education.
Designed and delivered by some of the most respected practitioners and academics in the area, our asset management series equips participants with a workable knowledge of the techniques that should be part of the toolkit of fund managers, investment officers and administrators working for institutional investors and family offices, and to consultants and key account representatives advising high net worth individuals and institutions on asset management.
