EDHEC-Risk Institute


The aim of the EDHEC-Risk Institute is to produce research that meets the most stringent academic standards and to facilitate corporate use of this research. In partnership with large financial institutions, the EDHEC-Risk Institute brings together 46 researchers and implements six industry-sponsored programmes and ten research chairs focusing on asset allocation and risk management in the traditional and alternative investment universes.

In keeping with its mission, the centre systematically seeks to validate the academic quality of its research through publications in leading scholarly journals, implements a multifaceted communications policy to inform investors and asset managers on state-of-the-art concepts and techniques, and develops business partnerships to launch innovative products.

To optimise exchanges between the academic and business worlds, the EDHEC-Risk Institute maintains a website devoted to asset management research for the industry: www.edhec-risk.com, circulates a monthly newsletter to over 400,000 practitioners, conducts regular industry surveys and consultations, and organises annual conferences for the benefit of institutional investors and asset managers.

The EDHEC-Risk Institute’s executive education activities help investment professionals to upgrade their skills with advanced risk and asset management training across traditional and alternative classes and include the prestigious PhD in Finance which is exclusively offered in executive and residential tracks.
