Since its inception the center has provided financial support that contributed to UNC Kenan-Flagler’s research mission in Investment Management. Such funding is essential in supporting the high impact research programs of UNC Kenan-Flagler faculty. The center provides significant support for the biennial UNC/Duke Asset Pricing Conference, a premier event that attracts academic researchers from across the country, including several Nobel Prize winners. Funding also supports conference and research travel, the purchase of databases and publications, specialized computing equipment, and research assistance. Investing in faculty research support and deepening ties to the research community in the investment management arena is an important aspect of the center’s mission.
