At mu Capital Management, our founders Marcial and Ulrich prioritize integrating academic research insights into the development of practical investment strategies. Their approach is rooted in their own experiences, having worked in specialized asset management boutiques while pursuing their PhDs. Marcial’s research on AI-driven equity selection has become a cornerstone of our scientific approach.
We believe that staying connected to academic research is crucial. Recently, we’ve had the opportunity to share our expertise through guest lectures on quantitative equity investments, which have sparked valuable discussions and ideas. Our presentations took place at the University of Zurich’s “Quantitative Asset Management and Systematic Investing” course, led by Dr. Patrick Walker and Dr. Gianluca De Nard; the University of St. Gallen’s “Machine Learning in Finance” course, taught by Prof. Despoina Makariou; and the University of Amsterdam’s “Quantitative Finance & Algorithmic Trading” course, led by Prof. Simon Rottke. These interactions not only broaden our perspectives but also foster meaningful connections that enhance our daily work.
