The OBA Boston and Cambridge Chapter welcome Dr Phalippou on his visit to Boston and celebrate the New Year with fellow alumni at the OAK Long Bar. This is a relatively informal event where we will simply aim to carve out some space at the Fairmont's lovely bar and show Dr Phalippou a warm Bostonian welcome!
Dr Ludovic Phalippou, Associate Professor of Finance at Saïd Business School
Ludovic focuses on the areas of private equity that are of interest to investors and potential investors in that asset class, such as risk management, liquidity and measurement of returns. His deep interest in the concerns facing professionals across the world is reflected in his teaching and research.
He has strong links with senior practitioners in the industry, routinely speaks at practitioner conferences, and appears in the media internationally (including The Economist, Financial Times, New York Times). He has worked with a number of large institutional investors on their private equity investment decisions and benchmarking systems (e.g. Norway $800 billion sovereign wealth fund, APG $400 billion Dutch pension fund and PGGM $200 billion Dutch pension fund). He recently served as a reviewer for VINNOVA, the Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems.
Ludovic has received several best-teacher awards and, in 2014, he was named by ‘Poets and Quants’ as one of the world's 40 best business school professors under the age of 40. Representative student feedback says that “he has a knack for simplifying complex concepts,” “conveys the material very clearly, and with a lot of fun,” “great energy and ability to captivate class on a difficult topic,” “engaged professor who brings a lot of personality into the classroom,” “constantly pushing us to think critically.”
At Oxford, Ludovic teaches two electives courses: ‘Asset Management’ and ‘Private Equity’ for MBA, MFE and EMBA students. Being selected and followed by over 250 students per year, these two elective courses are among the most popular at the School. Ludovic has also taught and developed a variety of executive education courses for major global consulting and asset management companies.
Ludovic achieved a degree in Economics from Toulouse School of Economics, a Master in Economics and a Master in Mathematical Finance both from the University of Southern California, and a PhD in Finance from INSEAD.
