The Alternative Risk Premia (ARP) research academy is a new project launched by Paris-Dauphine House of Finance, in partnership with Unigestion, an international asset manager specialised in active risk-managed investment solutions.The project seeks to be (i) a catalyst to promote academic research on ARP and (ii) a strong link between the academia and the ARP industry. For this first call, 2 research projects will be supported by the Academy and presented during a conference scheduled to take place in November 2018.
