Swiss Finance Institute
The Swiss Finance Institute (SFI) is an institute organized as a non-profit foundation. Its purpose is to competitively foster university institutions and networks in research and teaching, aimed at strengthening the position of Switzerland's science and financial sectors. Created in 2006 as a public–private partnership, SFI is a common initiative of the Swiss finance industry, leading Swiss universities, and the Swiss Confederation.
According to the W. P. Carey School of Business, the SFI is considered one of the top financial research institutions worldwide, based on the number of articles published in renowned academic journals.
The institute was formed in 2005 under the auspices of the Swiss Bankers Association through the merger of its predecessor institutions: the Centre International FAME pour la Gestion de Patrimoine et l'ingénierie Financière (CFAME), the Swiss Banking School Foundation, and the Banking and Finance Foundation at the University of Zurich. It was established as a foundation based in Zurich, with initial capital of CHF 75 million.
The NCCR Finrisk, part of a federal funding instrument for research in Switzerland for evaluation and risk management in the financial sector, was later integrated into the SFI.
The Swiss Finance Institute began its operations in early 2006. The aim was to competitively promote university institutions and research and teaching networks, support academic research, and facilitate practical outcomes in both academic and industry contexts. In 2006, several Swiss universities became foundation partners.
By 2007, the SFI had established locations in Zurich, the Léman region, and Lugano, with around 40 professors among its faculty. In collaboration with universities, new professorships were created and Master’s and diploma programs were developed.
Until his appointment as a member of the three-person Governing Board of the Swiss National Bank at the beginning of 2010, the institute was led by Jean-Pierre Danthine. He had previously served for nine years as head of CFAME, one of the three predecessor organizations of the SFI.
Between February 2011 and October 2016, the institute was headed by Claudio Loderer. Since November 2016, François Degeorge has been serving as the Managing Director of the SFI.
