Managing Risks and Returns

Distinctive Academic Research

Financial economists lead the way in understanding risk & return in securities markets. Working with some of the industry's most respected financial economists, Ancona Financial brings academic research to practicing investors in the form of distinctive empirical strategies.

  • Academic leaders in the field of asset pricing find new sources of risk and returns in advance of the industry. Firm designs vehicles capturing the risk category
  • Ancona Financial Advisory uses results to engineer portfolios and brings client feedback to academics for further research and enhancements.
  • Academic research becomes more relevant to practical investing, and practical investing is backed by solid theory and economic knowledge.

This is an ongoing process. Academics profit, ensuring that they maintain the data and research. Unlike the brokerage houses, they are not influenced by investment banking relationships. Clients benefit from structured strategies that have higher expected returns, more focused implementation, and significantly lower costs.
