Welcome

The Scottish Financial Risk Academy (SFRA) was established in April 2010 by a consortium of founder members led by the Maxwell Institute for Mathematical Sciences. It is funded by a grant of £335,000 from the Scottish Funding Council and contributions by founder members.

The consortium of founder members of the SFRA comprises The Actuarial Profession, Aberdeen Asset Management, Barrie & Hibbert, Lloyds Banking Group, the Maxwell Institute and Scottish Financial Enterprise.

The SFRA runs a series of Knowledge Exchange activities designed to improve the interaction between the academic sector and the financial services industry. These include biannual Risk Colloquia, Knowledge Transfer Workshops, placements for MSc and PhD students, and postgraduate course modules taught by industry professionals.

You can find out more about the aims of the SFRA here, and for further information, please download a copy of the SFRA flyer.
