Elevating the impact of business research in finance
Finance centers at the Wharton School serve as thought leaders for innovative research by supporting and disseminating cutting-edge work in areas including investment management, private equity, hedge funds, venture capital, quantitative finance, and fintech. We seek to enhance the understanding of financial markets and make research accessible, promoting collaboration and interdisciplinary research. We bridge theory and practice by engaging with students, faculty, and industry leaders, with a focus on preparing the next generation of top financial scholars and practitioners.
