Abstract

Finance Institute is a private foundation funded by the Swiss banks and Swiss Stock Exchange. It merges 3 existing foundations: the International Center FAME, the Swiss Banking School and the Stiftung "Banking and Finance" in Zurich. With its university partners, the Swiss Finance Institute pursues the objective of forming a competence center in banking and finance commensurate to the importance of the Swiss financial center. It will be active in research, doctoral training and executive education while also proposing activities fostering interactions between academia and the industry. The Swiss Finance Institute supports and promotes promising research projects in selected subject areas. It develops its activity in complete symbiosis with the NCCR FinRisk. The National Centre of Competence in Research "Financial Valuation and Risk Management" (FinRisk) was launched in 2001 by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF). FinRisk constitutes an academic forum that fosters cutting-edge finance research, education of highly qualified finance specialists at the doctoral level and knowledge transfer between finance academics and practitioners.
