The Institute for Quantitative Investment Research (Inquire UK) is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to furthering research and understanding in the field of quantitative investment methodologies.

We aim to foster and strengthen links between academia and the investment community. Membership is corporate and each sponsor organisation helps to fund an ongoing research programme in universities and business schools.

Two residential seminars are held each year where papers are presented by academic researchers and practitioners and sponsors have the opportunity to exchange views with academics and each other. The goal of the institute is to bridge the gap between theory and practice.

Inquire UK has only corporate members.  The primary purpose of membership contributions is to help fund practical and relevant research in universities and business schools.  The current membership of 54 organisations represents a broad range of banks, insurance companies, independent money managers, pension funds, stockbrokers and actuarial consultants.
