The Jacobs Levy Center Research Awards bolster support for promising research in quantitative finance across the Wharton School and the University of Pennsylvania. These awards recognize outstanding research that promises impactful findings and are supported by gifts to the Center’s corporate membership program.
Topics of the proposals must fall within the scope of the Jacobs Levy Center’s mission, and hence, must have a focus on enhancing the understanding of financial markets through the study and promotion of quantitative techniques and methods as applied to such fields as the analysis of domestic and international stocks and bonds, and the management of investment portfolios.
