JOIM Conference Series

The JOIM Conference Series (founded in 2006) extends the mandate of the Journal Of Investment Management (JOIM) publication of bridging the theory and practice of investment management. Whereas the JOIM publication is a rigorous peer reviewed publication, the JOIM Conference Series showcases very high quality presentations and a platform for interactive discussions of current topics in the investment management arena. Prevalent throughout both activities is the highest quality material suitable for the academic, practitioner and student.
