Winners of the 15th Annual CFA Society Toronto & Hillsdale Canadian Investment Research Award
The winning paper of the 15th annual CFA Society Toronto & Hillsdale Canadian Investment Research Award is entitled “Bay Street Meets Machine Learning: Predicting Stock Risk Premium”
“Applications of machine learning methods to portfolio management and investments have grown in popularity in both academia and industry, but very few have focused on Canadian markets. This winning paper shows some promise in applying machine learning methods to extract higher dimensional signals from the Canadian stock market,” – Chris Guthrie
The authors of this winning paper and the recipients of the $10,000 prize were Najah Attig, PhD., Professor of Finance and Chair of the Department of Finance at Dalhousie University, Canada and Chahine Attig, Data Science Engineering student at ENSAI.
