It presents the research carried out by Scientific Beta and is structured to appeal to asset owners and their direct investment consultants and financial advisors.

The two-day conference will include multiple plenary sessions, workshops and practical sessions presenting case studies, providing a more in-depth analysis of certain topics and allowing professionals to review major industry challenges, explore state-of-the-art investment techniques and benchmark practices to advances in research.

EDHEC Scientific Beta Days Europe 2019 will pay special attention to ESG issues but will also allow participants to discover research results in the fields of risk and factor allocation, notably with sessions on factor crowding, the cost of investing in factor strategies, the consideration of conditional factor allocation correlations and regime premia in multi-factor allocation strategies, the ability to improve factor diversification in an existing portfolio and new frontiers in defensive strategies.
