Press review Money Marketing "EDHEC-Risk Institute and FirstRand Limited (FirstRand or the group) are partnering for the first time to launch a three-year research chair entitled “Designing and Implementing Welfare-Improving Investment Solutions for Institutions and Individuals” to expand the scientific literature on investor welfare-enhancing methodologies for portfolio construction in a goals-based investing framework. Year 1 will focus on a detailed analysis of the interplay between diversification and insurance, with the aim of determining whether it is possible to achieve an improvement in investor welfare by creating a diversified portfolio of insured assets, as opposed to insuring a portfolio of diversified assets.” Copyright Money Marketing https://www.moneymarketing.co.za/edhec-risk-institute-and-firstrand-launch-rese… 2019
