Tom Duterme

Position: Assistant Professor at ICHEC Brussels Management School

I am a financial market sociologist. I have worked on various decision-making devices used by market professionals (stock market indices, Bloomberg Terminal…). I am currently interested in the role of investment fund managers in capital allocation, particularly “passive” and “green” funds.
