This research area of Ciber evaluates the return to the common good of financial markets and institutional and retail investors.
First, we reveal the impact of algorithmic trading (AT) and Artificial Intelligence in financial markets and the decision-making process in financial institutions.
We also study whether institutional investors show similar behavioural patterns to less sophisticated investors. We extend this comparison to Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) funds and their conventional counterparts in the mutual fund industry. Thus, we analyze the main behavioural biases previously documented for conventional investors, both institutional and retail.
Finally, we aim to determine to what extent the institutional portfolios support the financial inclusion of all investors regardless of gender, literacy, income level, age, and other socioeconomic factors.
