CONFERENCES
McGill Conference on Global Asset Management:
The conference brings together leading academics and members of the investment banking industry to focus on new issues in global capital markets. The following, not all-inclusive, areas are considered:
• Impact of globalization on contagion, risk, and asset allocation • Integrated global risk management and sectoral allocation • Determinants of asset valuation patterns around the world • Ascendance of emerging markets and cross-border capital flows • Financial crisis and the role of liquidity in global asset valuation • Effects of corporate governance and shareholder rights on international investments • International mutual fund and hedge fund performance evaluation • Investor behavior issues and global asset pricing
A blind copy of each submitted paper is reviewed and ranked independently by two program committee members. Eight papers receiving the highest marks are accepted for presentation. The acceptance rate is usually 10-15%. The majority of papers presented at the conference is later published in the top finance journals.
The conference is biennial, and it takes place at McGill’s Faculty of Management on the first Thursday and Friday of June.
