Hans-Kristian Sjöholm, Head of Global Equities at Evli Fund Management Company, has been appointed as Professor of Practice at the Quantum data lab at Hanken School of Economics for a period of three years.
The Quantum data lab combines high technology with finance and invests in digitisation and utilisation of large amounts of data. Through various events, research and teaching, Quantum wants to be at the forefront of so-called data-driven decision-making and value creation.
Sjöholm will continue his work at Evli as before, heading the Global Equities team, which manages seven equity funds. He says that the appointment is a welcome addition to guest lecturing at the Value Investing-course at Hanken and has clear synergies with his portfolio management responsibilities at Evli.
“Data-driven decision making is of great interest to me, whether applied to business or portfolio management, and I am grateful Hanken offered this opportunity to me. I look forward to developing my understanding of big data and artificial intelligence, and to sharing my industry and portfolio management experience with the researchers and students at Hanken.”
Professor Benjamin Maury, Director of Quantum, thanks Hans-Kristian Sjöholm for taking up the challenge. “It is valuable when a finance professional of Hans-Kristian’s caliber contributes to Quantum’s development, brings business contacts, and helps us mentor the next generation of professionals.”
