Dear Reader,
The investment world has never been so challenging; wealth management professionals must deal with thousands of different offers and views on risk and return. However, only few investors are actually aware of the latest research in finance. They simply replicate what seems to have worked yesterday!
Investment bankers, financial analysts and risk managers just don’t have time to keep up with the most recent innovations. The seminal articles in finance are usually written with plenty of hardcore math, often surrounded by less relevant information. This is why most people in the industry have based their own investment principles on theories and empirical evidences that already prevailed in the 1960s and 1970s.
Published since November 1999, our original newsletter (Inside ALPHA Investment Club) has followed a market neutral investment strategy with great success, outperforming the S&P 500 index by an annualized 10% to 20%. Understanding the true value of influential research papers, Inside ALPHA has now teamed up with highly skilled professionals to deliver straight from The Lab, your source to the latest financial research – jargon free.
straight from The Lab offers a unique opportunity to keep abreast of the best in finance. Written in plain English (no hardcore math!), this monthly newsletter on academic research ensures that you won’t miss out key articles.
For every issue, more than 50 investment-related journals are reviewed to create short accounts of what matters the most. Individuals from the finance industry, CFA candidates, as well as students and researchers in the field of investment have an opportunity to join now.
As with our other products and services, we intend to keep this community small and close-knit; for this reason, membership is granted on a first-come, first-served basis.
