Academic Research

Here you can find a selection of research papers from members of the Academic Advisory Team and employees of IQAM Invest. These deal mainly with fundamental research, which is often directly or indirectly put into practice in IQAM Invest products and services. Some of these papers have already been published in leading international journals and some are still working papers.

Our philosophy is to constantly review and improve the IQAM Invest processes in light of new financial research. This is made possible by the members of IQAM Invest’s Academic Advisory Team, who are firmly established in the international financial research community, regularly contribute to fundamental research and are actively involved in notable conferences and academic institutions. The research papers listed below provide an overview of the issues we have engaged in.
