Hosted by the University of Queensland
20th - 21st of June 2024
The Asset Management Meeting forms part of the Financial Research Network (FIRN) program of topic-specific research meetings designed to extend the body of knowledge within a specific research area through the presentation and discussion of cutting edge research and the building of stronger networks.
FIRN in partnership with the University of Queensland (UQ) invites academics to submit a paper to the 2024 FIRN Asset Management meeting. The aim of this meeting is to develop a vibrant and interconnected academic community to discuss current issues and recent research on asset management and asset pricing in a stimulating and relaxing environment. In doing so, we hope to stimulate further research collaborations between local FIRN members and well-known international academics. The meeting is scheduled to take place at the UQ Brisbane City Campus.
We welcome submissions of both theoretical and empirical papers on all topics in asset management and asset pricing. Potential topics include but are not limited to: mutual funds, hedge funds, pension funds, private equity funds, ETFs, sustainable investing, performance measurement, fund disclosure and institutional investors’ incentives, empirical analysis of market anomalies and market efficiency, and asset pricing with big data.
The Asset Management meeting will be held over two days with strong emphasis on high quality research on emerging issues related to asset management and asset pricing. To provide support to early career researchers (ECRs), there will be dedicated sessions for ECRs who are within five years of the awards of their PhDs.
The program committee members consist of Dr. Eric Tan and Associate Prof. Min Zhu. For further information about the meeting or the submission process, please send an email to eric.tan@uq.edu.au.
Paper submissions can be made here (CLOSED).
The Call for Papers is available here.
Submissions now open here and close 15 April 2024, 11:30pm AEST.
Authors of the accepted papers will be notified by 5th May 2024.
