You will work with research who have strong academic backgrounds. Some also have significant industry experience, having held various roles in top-tier investment banks, hedge funds and relevant industries. Our research is mainly conducted within two research groups:

Our cross disciplinary Business Finance Research Group focuses on corporate finance and governance in both public and private companies, as well the roles of private equity firms, banks, and other financial intermediaries. The group publishes on areas such as financial misconduct, banking regulation, entrepreneurial finance, and the impact of global crises on corporate finance.
