Organised by an academic research centre for the benefit of professionals, the EDHEC-Risk Days conference is an annual event taking place in London, which presents the research conducted by EDHEC-Risk Institute and discusses findings with the institutional investment and fund manager communities.
The conference enables participants to have access to the latest conceptual advances and research results in investment and risk management and to discuss their implications and applications with researchers who combine expertise of advanced financial techniques with a sound awareness of their industry relevance.
The event is structured to appeal to institutional investors, traditional and alternative investment managers and policymakers.
