The University of Edinburgh and abrdn have formed a partnership to deliver innovation in the investment sector.
This aims to deliver a new Centre for Investing Innovation, with funding of £7.5m over five years from the asset manager. It will be based within the University’s Edinburgh Futures Institute, which is focused on addressing the critical challenges facing society.
Alan Coutts, investment chief operating officer at abrdn, will chair the centre’s strategic opportunities and futures board, with Sotirios Sabanis, director of knowledge exchange at the School of Mathematics, acting as centre director.
