Join us for a special session where Laurens Swinkels presents the research he co-authored with Roderick Molenaar and others, which earned them the prestigious Graham & Dodd Scroll Award from the Financial Analysts Journal, the practitioner journal of CFA Institute. Their paper, "Empirical Evidence on the Stock–Bond Correlation," provides timely insights into portfolio risk and diversification.
Laurens is Head of Quant Strategy in the Sustainable Multi Asset Solutions team of Robeco and holds a part-time position (with tenure) at Erasmus University Rotterdam
The session will be introduced by Thijs Knaap, Chief Economist of APG Asset Management, who will highlight the research’s relevance in today’s market environment and challenge Laurens with sharp, forward-looking questions.
We will also take the opportunity to formally present Laurens with the Graham & Dodd Scroll Award, recognizing this outstanding contribution to the field.
Expect a session that bridges rigorous research with practical application—essential for anyone focused on navigating evolving market dynamics.
