Partnerships

In February 2023, LFIS renewed its partnership of the Standards Board for Alternative Investments (SBAI). The SBAI is a neutral, standard-setting body for the alternative investment industry that works to foster a framework of transparency, integrity, and good governance to simplify the investment process for managers and investors. LFIS is proud to support the SBAI and to operate in conformity with the Alternative Investment Standards.

LFIS & QMI

In May 2018, LFIS Capital (LFIS) announced a partnership with the Quantitative Management Initiative (“QMI”) to develop new areas of quantitative research with potential real-world application. The partnership is in line with the QMI’s commitment to promote quantitative finance and its contribution to investment management in terms of research, risk management and creating value for investors globally.

The QMI was launched in 2012 and is part of France’s Fondation du Risque and supported by the Institut Louis Bachelier. Associated research is principally carried out by teams from the leading Paris universities of Paris-Dauphine and ENSAE (Ecole Nationale de la Statistique et de l'Administration Economique). The initiative aims to produce world-class research with practical applications by encouraging cooperation between quantitative management professionals and academic researchers. The initiative leverages on France’s rich quant heritage, extensive pool of research and quantitative investment management talent and amplifies this powerful combination on a global platform.

The partnership between LFIS and QMI will focus on the three main stages of quantitative investing: artificial intelligence and signal generation, portfolio construction and risk management and real-world implementation challenges.
