School of Finance (SoF-HSG)

• Prof. Dr. Matthias Fengler and Prof. Dr. Martin Brown received the HSG impact Award for their project "Monitoring Consumption Switzerland". The project uses aggregated and anonymised payment data to measure private consumption in Switzerland and to show how this was impaired by the Covid-19 crisis.

• Prof. Dr. Sebastian Utz was honoured for the project "An integrated approach to generate higher impact portfolios". Utz developed a new kind of portfolio model which mutually optimises risk, profit and sustainability impact and enables users to identify unexploited sustainability in investments and to efficiently redirect capital towards sustainable challenges.
