Cambridge Judge Business School: Centre for Endowment Asset Management

Reflections on the past for investors today

From 18th century 'structured finance' and currency speculation in the Middle Ages, to stock market performance in the 20th and 21st centuries. A new book edited by two University of Cambridge academics chronicles the historical development of asset returns, stock exchanges, financial bubbles and innovation.

Investing over the long-term

This area explores traditional investment themes like asset allocation, governance, risk and return, but with a research focus on how these relate to investors with a long investment horizon.

Alternative assets over the long term

This area explores the long-term performance and behaviour of alternative asset classes like real estate and commodities as well as collectable assets like art, wine and coins.

Financial history

This covers 18th century 'structured finance' and currency speculation in the Middle Ages, to stock market performance in the 20th and 21st centuries as well as an overview of Economist and investor John Maynard Keynes.

Responsible investing

Our academic research in this area develops understanding and knowledge of how ESG factors influence investment decision-making, portfolio construction and company performance.
