Harry M. Markowitz Award
The Harry M. Markowitz Award (sponsored jointly by the JOIM and New Frontier Advisors, LLC ) recognizes the seminal and transcendent impact of Dr. Markowitz’s work as a financial economist and mathematician on both theoretical finance and the practice of asset management. The award has been established to honor his legacy and to support future research and innovation in practical asset management. Candidates for the annual award are chosen from among papers published in JOIM in a calendar year. Final selection consists of Nobel Prize Laureates. An honorarium of $10,000 will be bestowed to the winning paper. Two additional finalist papers will receive a Special Distinction Award along with a $5,000 honorarium.
