Quantitative management initiative

Scientific project

In the post-financial-crisis context, Quantitative Management professionals from the French Financial sector came together in 2010 to create QuantValley in order to promote Quantitative Finance and its benefits in terms of research, risk management and value creation for investors. Today, the association has been joined by two important partners, GFI and UBS, and is investing even more in the promotion of research and the development of interactions between the academic world and the Professional world of Quantitative management. Thanks to its support, the Quantitative Management Initiative (QMI) was born in early 2012 and is structured around the following themes:

• Developing quantitative research applied to asset management.
• Facilitating knowledge transfer between academic environments and asset management agents.
• Responding to the research issues of various private partners.
• Encouraging collaboration with one or more companies that are leaders in fields relating to quantitative management.
• Promoting the image of asset management based on quantitative approaches.
• Increasing and consolidating the high level of excellence of the partnerships by organizing reflexion, research and training activities on an international scale relating to one or more themes of general interest.
• Reflecting on the evolution of regulation pertaining to asset management.
