Cliff Asness Receives the IAQF/Northfield 2019 Financial Engineer of the Year Award

The annual IAQF/Northfield FEOY Award, established in 1993, recognizes individual contributions to the advancement of quantitative finance. A nominating committee of approximately 50 people, consisting of all the IAQF governing boards, submits nominations, which are reviewed in a three-step process. The final round consists solely of the senior fellows and was chaired by Dr. Michael Brennan, an IAQF senior fellow and 2017 FEOY award winner.

The award was presented to Asness at a gala dinner on February 27th, 2020 at The Yale Club in New York City.
