The Centre for the Analysis of Investment Risk (CAIR)
Established in 2005, the Centre for the Analysis of Investment Risk (CAIR) provides world-leading research expertise on investment decision-making and the governance of risk, ambiguity, and uncertainty in complex economic environments. Our interdisciplinary research concerns the assessment, communication, auditing, and assurance of investment decisions and their returns, productivity, and social and environmental impact.
Our vision
We aim to stimulate cutting-edge academic debate and equip corporate leaders, policymakers, and institutional investors with rigorous evidence and forward-looking analysis that inform and influence financial and policy decision-making.
Our research agenda
To address the challenges of modern finance, our work is organised around five interconnected research pillars that explore the evolving landscape of investment, governance, and financial decision-making. These pillars reflect the breadth of expertise within the Division of Accounting and Finance (A&F) at Alliance Manchester Business School and the centre’s ambition to shape contemporary debates on finance, governance, sustainability, and society.
