2026 Consortium on Asset Management
Monday, 23rd March 2026
Madrid, Spain
The Consortium venue will be CUNEF Universidad, Almansa Campus, Calle de Almansa, 101, 28040 Madrid.
This Consortium is designed for those who are currently working on research in asset management and related topics. Priority will be given to researchers who have received their doctorates within the last five years and with at least one co-author in a Europe-based school(s).
The consortium will be focused, with 6 high-quality papers, discussants, and a limited number of other researchers. Distinguished members of the finance profession, and practitioners, will provide feedback to presenters and discuss issues in asset management as well as aspects of academic publishing and career development.
The theme for this year’s workshop will be Asset Management. We particularly encourage papers within this theme that focus on: corporate governance and voting, financial market history, traditional and alternative asset classes, mutual funds, hedge funds, and responsible investing.
The consortium will be held as an in-person event. Applicants must be able to travel to Madrid, Spain, for the Consortium.
