Z/Yen is pleased to announce that Gresham College and the Universities Superannuation Scheme are now looking to Farsight Award 2007/2008. Created to honour the best in long term research, the Farsight Award 2006/2007 was awarded on 21 September 2006 to Citigroup analysts Heath Jansen, Mike Tyrrell and Alan Heap for their work on sustainable mining. The Farsight Award was formed in direct response to criticism of the increasingly short-term nature of financial markets around the world. The founders wish to honour analysis which best integrates traditional financial analysis with longer term issues such as climate change, governance & human capital. Investment researchers interested in submitting research for consideration are encouraged to contact Michael Mainelli between now and June 2007 when the judging begins.
