Drawing on research from EDHEC-Risk Institute's ‘Indices & Benchmarking’ research programme, the seminars will explore enhanced index and optimal benchmark construction and look at new forms of indices and benchmarks.

They will notably be drawing a distinction between indices and benchmarks, addressing the key issue of the optimal use of indices and benchmarks in institutional investment, and explaining the importance of a good index in asset management and asset-liability management.

By reviewing the limitations of traditional indices, the seminars will also discuss the improved ‘efficient’ equity indices designed by the research team at EDHEC-Risk Institute and present the FTSE EDHEC-Risk Efficient Index Series.
