The Scottish Financial Risk Academy

Risk - Research
Last month, the Scottish Financial Risk Academy was announced. Having been second to none for decades, the reputation of Scots as Risk Managers has taken a wee bit of hammering of late and the establishment of this initiative through the Scottish Parliament and with significant private sector support is a unique effort in part to redress that balance. The expertise still remains, in particular in asset management and the SFRA will focus on sharing research and techniques between academia and the commercial requirement for enhanced expertise. The Director is Professor Alexander J McNeil.
The SFRA website is: http://www.sfra.ac.uk/
Here is Professor McNeil discussing the SFRA and his objectives for it: http://news.scotland.efinancialcareers.co.uk/newsandviews_item/newsItemId-25422
