2024 was a transformative year for the financial landscape. While declining inflation and steady growth brought optimism, challenges such as geopolitical tensions and evolving ESG regulations highlighted the need for adaptability. Investors increasingly turned to private markets, valuing their stability amidst public market volatility. During our Spring Seminar we focused on MiFID II, pension liquidity risk, and climate risk, featuring award-winning research by Heiner Beckmeyer on machine learning in asset pricing. The Autumn Seminar in Valencia spotlighted private market assets, with Isil Erel’s award-winning paper exploring risk-adjusted returns in private debt funds. This year also marked advancements in AI and ML in asset management, as highlighted by Magnus Dahlquist, our new Academic Coordinator, who emphasized their growing influence on risk management and investment strategies. 2024 reinforced the importance of adapting to change while exploring innovative avenues for growth.
