The Alternative Investment Management Association–Canada (AIMA Canada) and Hillsdale Investment Management have entered into a partnership to establish the annual AIMA Canada-Hillsdale Research Award. The award will have an annual cash prize of $10,000.

The award is designed to encourage and recognize high quality applied research in the field of alternative investments in Canada and is open to academics, students and practitioners who are Canadian citizens or residents.

“We are very pleased that Hillsdale has entered into this partnership, which will allow us to ensure the continuity and funding for this prestigious and important research award,” says AIMA Canada chair, Phil Schmitt.

“The alternative investment industry has become an integral part of finance in Canada and the world,” adds Chris Guthrie, president and chief executive officer of Hillsdale. “Hillsdale and AIMA Canada share the same vision for the future of the industry. We are very pleased to be a partner in this important initiative.”
