Appointment of New Head of Research
The Swiss Finance Institute (SFI) has appointed Prof. Jean-Charles Rochet as the Head of Research as of February 2015 in its pursuit of excellence in research, in order to build academic expertise with staying power. Outstanding research conducted by SFI professors and students contributes to the international research community, the reputation, and the expertise of the Swiss financial center.
Since its creation in 2006, the Swiss Finance Institute (SFI) has achieved an outstanding degree of academic recognition and is ranked among the “top-25” financial Research institutes worldwide. Following an eight year investment in this build up, the current Head of Research, Professor Rajna Gibson Brandon, will step down from her role in order to focus on her own research work and the further development of the Geneva Finance Research Institute at the University of Geneva. Wishing to build on the solid foundation established in its research programs, the SFI Foundation Board has now appointed her successor, Professor Jean-Charles Rochet, as the new Head of Research as of February 2015.
