CFA

This is an outreach initiative supported by the CFA Society of Chicago and the Financial Management Association International (FMA) to develop cutting-edge investment research useful to CFA members, their firms, and the investment profession.

We need your help to make this initiative work. We ask CFA members to participate in our meetings, held at 12:45 pm on the fourth Tuesday of every month, either by phone or in person. Our goal is to specifically define issues plaguing our industry, such as accurate risk measurement for non-normal distributions, and present these problems to academics, who will develop research at no cost to the CFA Society or the participating members. Researchers will be rewarded through publication and recognition for addressing relevant practitioner problems. CFA members, or "Thought Partners," are requested to provide only specific research ideas/ critiques and data. If you are interested in participating, please contact:
