EDHEC-Risk Information
EDHEC-Risk: The Concept
Research for Business

The EDHEC-Risk web site is based on a simple idea but one which provides a structure for all of EDHEC-Risk's financial research activities: “How to enable professionals to get the most out of asset management research?“. As a consequence, EDHEC-Risk does not aspire to be the best academic research site nor the one that offers the most exhaustive information on the asset management industry. EDHEC-Risk, with its joint academic and professional expertise, is endeavouring to be the most useful site for practitioners who are keen to take advantage of research results to improve their investment and risk management processes.

Faced with increasing amounts of information, announcements that are made for publicity purposes and innovations in the asset management industry, the academic background of the EDHEC-Risk editorial team allows you to take a step back from the facts and to select and summarise the required information. Today, the real challenge is not to give more information but to give the best information, and this is why we consider that EDHEC-Risk has its place on the web.

Newsletter

The electronic newsletter containing news from all the main sections of the EDHEC-Risk web site (editorial, feature, interview, research news, EDHEC-Risk publications, index returns, etc.) is sent out once a month to more than 400,000 readers worldwide.

Site Layout

edhec-risk.com is structured around three types of section:
  • News sections
  • Sections linked to the centre’s research chairs and research programmes
  • Sections relating to research that is of relevance to the asset management industry.
Research News

EDHEC-Risk selects, summarises and situates the major academic papers on asset management. The selection is made in relation to themes that correspond to the centre’s research programmes. In this way, as with all the information and documents available on the site, the Research News contributions are referenced using key words which are common to the other sections on the site. Furthermore, this section gives access to overviews of the main international academic reviews.

Industry Analysis

edhec-risk.com provides a reasoned analysis of asset management industry news. Topics are chosen according to two criteria: firstly, the extent of the number of references made in the international specialised press; secondly, the pertinence of the information in relation to the EDHEC-Risk research programme themes.

Features

Presents topics of particular interest to the asset management industry.

Interviews

Every month, a researcher or a practitioner from the asset management industry is interviewed by the edhec-risk.com team.

Events

edhec-risk.com provides access to events organised by EDHEC-Risk, as well as asset management industry events involving EDHEC-Risk's participation.
