Newedge "Advanced Modelling for Alternative Investments" Research Chair

The aim of the Newedge "Advanced Modelling for Alternative Investments" research chair is to develop advanced modelling techniques that can be used for alternative investment returns.

The research chair will expand the frontiers in alternative investment modelling techniques by enhancing the understanding of the dynamic and non-linear relationship between alternative investment returns and the returns on underlying fundamental systematic factors, and analysing the implications in terms of the management of portfolios including alternative investments

The chair is under the leadership of Lionel Martellini, scientific director of EDHEC-Risk Institute.
