WHO'S INVOLVED The Investment Management Research Workshop was established by Professor Ron Bird while at UTS, as part of the UTS Paul Woolley Centre for Capital Markets Dysfunctionality established in 2007. In 2017, Portfolio Construction Forum became involved under the auspices of the Investment Management Research Program, the specialist academic research unit of Portfolio Construction Forum, which replaced the UTS Paul Woolley Centre. The Investment Management Research program has three activities: 1. Research - Commissioning research that furthers the efficiency and effectiveness of the flow investment funds along the continuum from savers to the ultimate investment outcomes. 2. Debate - Facilitating interaction between academics from leading international and Australian universities, professional investors, consultants, practitioners and advocates through two annual classroom-style, face-to-face programs, the one-day Investment Management Research Workshop (May) and the two-day Investment Management Research Symposium (November). 3. Educate - Presenting a range of university level, blended learning short courses, including the Investment Management Analyst Certificate (IMAC) course, core to the global Certified Investment Management Analyst® certification program. The Denver-based Investments & Wealth Institute has approved the Investment Management Research Program as the Registered Education Provider to provide the education program for CIMA candidates in Australia and New Zealand. We are one of four such Registered Education Providers globally, alongside Chicago Booth, Wharton and Yale, the three US-based Registered Education Providers. In 2019, the Investment Management Research Program established a collaboration with Macquarie University, and Professor Tom Smith, Head of the Department of Applied Finance, joined the IMR Program Committee. The CIMA Society of Australia, the professional association for Certified Investment Management Analysts in Australia and NZ, supports the Investment Management Research Program as its initiatives are particularly suited to helping CIMA certificants meet their ongoing continuing education commitment. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT The Investment Management Research Workshop is a rare opportunity for the full spectrum of investment management analysts - academics, professional investors, consultants, practitioners and advocates - to come together to consider and discuss contemporary investment management research. It has three key differentiators: focused - singularly focused on research in funds management (across all asset classes); wealth management (particularly investment and superannuation); and, banking (particularly financial intermediation and regulation); specialist - for investment management analysts first and foremost, with a firm focus on academic research; and, independent - independently curated and moderated one-day classroom-style, face-to-face program. It is a companion program to the annual two-day face-to-face Investment Management Research Symposium held in Sydney each November. The Investment Management Research Workshop presents research from across three of the five Forum knowledge Domains.
Markets – understanding the drivers of and outlook for the
investment markets
Strategies
– designing robust investment strategies to meet defined
objectives
Investing –
identifying quality investment management solutions and their
place in portfolios Like all our face-to-face, blended and online continuing education programs, the Investment Management Research Workshop is an integrated learning program with preparation, participation and review. Prepare To maximise learning, delegates are provided with pre-reading aimed at boosting their knowledge and getting them thinking about the issues to be addressed in the program. The preparation is assumed prior knowledge. Participate The face-to-face program is comprised of a 2.5-hour Masterclass (classroom) program and 3.0-hour Lecture Series (classroom) program, all of which involve a high level of group discussion and feedback. Review After the face-to-face program, delegates' learning continues. The presentations are webcast on portfolioconstructionforum.edu.au – a page per presentation featuring the sync'd video and slides, podcast, slides and paper(s) - so delegates can revisit the sessions they attended and review their key takeouts.
