The McIntire Center
for Financial Innovation

The McIntire Center for Financial Innovation advances our understanding of finance through research and programs focused on capital markets and the nuances of investing. It encourages the collaboration of faculty and executives, particularly alumni, in the classroom and in research and case development projects. In the process, world-class scholars and practitioners become research and teaching mentors for students and faculty, allowing them to work with the best scholars and practitioners in the world.
