Over the past decade, Canadian mid and small-cap stocks have returned just 3-4% each year, while U.S. stocks have seen a 13% return annually. Opening infrastructure to investment is another way to encourage pension funds to invest more of their capital domestically.</p> Mon, 15 Jul 2024 18:08:15 +0000 webfull 200785 at /channels /channels/channels/event/mcgill-fiam-asset-management-hackathon-357069 <h2>Developing the Next Generation of Finance Talent: Fusing Finance and Data Science, with Finance at the Forefront.</h2> Thu, 25 Apr 2024 18:20:14 +0000 webfull 199767 at /channels /channels/channels/event/sustainable-finance-summit-navigating-net-zero-355644 <div><img src="https://se-images.campuslabs.ca/clink/images/305e7661-df0f-49d6-8582-1f8f92a009cacc456420-f51e-4fa5-8a3d-b33822eea10a.png?preset=med-w" width="320" style="float:left; margin-right:15px; margin-bottom:15px" alt=" Navigating Net Zero" /></div> Fri, 23 Feb 2024 07:20:53 +0000 webfull 198056 at /channels /channels/channels/event/finance-area-seminar-aytek-malkhozov-353227 <h2>Aytek Malkhozov</h2> <h3><b>Queen Mary University of London</b></h3> <p><em><big>Demand-and-Supply Imbalance Risk and Long-Term Swap Spreads </big></em></p> Fri, 01 Dec 2023 15:59:51 +0000 webfull 195325 at /channels /channels/channels/event/finance-area-seminar-yasser-boualam-352797 <h2>Yasser Boualam</h2> <h3>University of North Carolina</h3> <p><em><big>Financial Distress and the Green Transition</big></em></p> Fri, 17 Nov 2023 21:14:48 +0000 webfull 194871 at /channels /channels/channels/event/finance-area-seminar-jim-goldman-352113 <h2>Jim Goldman</h2> <h3>University of Warwick</h3> <p><em><big>Amplifying a Fiscal Stimulus: The Role of Banks </big></em></p> Thu, 19 Oct 2023 17:38:23 +0000 webfull 194083 at /channels /channels/channels/event/sustainable-finance-discussion-philippe-zaouati-351193 <p>ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ Desautels invites students to a presentation and discussion with <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/philippezaouati/" target="_blank" title="https://fr.linkedin.com/in/philippezaouati">Philippe Zaouati</a>, CEO of <a href="https://can01.s</body></html>"></a></p> Thu, 21 Sep 2023 21:42:54 +0000 webfull 193009 at /channels /channels/channels/news/delve-how-banks-and-institutional-investment-funds-are-driving-road-net-zero-344751 <p>One of the biggest challenges today for financial institutions is how to meet net-zero climate targets while achieving high returns on investment and satisfying the needs of various stakeholders.

Together, these factors have contributed to high inflation, which central banks are fighting by raising interest rates. But some of these factors are beyond the reach of central bank’s efforts, like rising energy prices caused by the war in Ukraine, said Prof. <a href="//www.mcgill.ca/desautels/sebastien-betermier"><strong>Sebastien Betermier</strong></a> in an interview with CTV News.</p> Wed, 06 Jul 2022 18:22:53 +0000 webfull 180801 at /channels /channels/channels/news/delve-can-loyalty-investor-relationships-calm-competitive-disruption-etfs-339867 <p>On the surface, the Exchange Traded Fund or ETF is a relatively straightforward concept, but it has become a major disruptor in the sphere of money management.
