Lionel Martellini,
PhD Scientific Director
"Few other establishments of higher education can boast their own internationally acclaimed research centre, and even fewer can say that the experts involved in this research are full time professors of the same school. These specialists are called upon by investors and financial institutions to impart their insight from the City of London to the Private Banks in Switzerland and these same professors share their knowledge in the classroom.

EDHEC's Master of Science in Risk and Asset Management is indeed a programme that is difficult to match. Drawing heavily upon the expertise developed in the industry acclaimed EDHEC-Risk Institute, the course brings the latest advances of applied research into participants' portfolios of skills. Its demanding curriculum focuses on  capital markets and allows participants to develop expertise in traditional and alternative investment analysis, asset management, financial modelling, financial engineering and risk management. The MSc in Risk and Asset Management is also an official CFA programme partner."
