ML is a rapidly growing field that offers many potential applications in investment management and related financial services fields. Stellenbosch University has committed itself to this field of study through its creation of the School for Data Science and Computational Thinking.
The intent with the research chair is to generate useful research insights for the broader Momentum Investments business, while helping the university deepen their research capabilities and produce new researchers and papers in this area. The Chair will supervise research projects at the Masters and PhD level on ML-based research topics applied to the financial services context. These projects will provide the basis for academic research papers in local and international research journals and the insights to drive the impactful application of ML techniques in financial services.
