Knowledge creates value: Investing successfully with scientific findings.

What determines returns on the capital markets—chance, luck, or systematic factors? Capital market research provides exciting answers. Just as active ingredients are tested in medicine, scientists use historical data to investigate which factors explain stock returns. It shows that certain stocks or markets systematically perform better under clear conditions, while others should be avoided by investors. In my presentation, I provide a lively insight into the thinking behind this research and its key findings. Especially in times of crisis, it opens up surprising perspectives and offers valuable guidance for anyone who wants to better understand the financial markets.
