Scholarship and Biography

My research studies how people allocate savings across various investment products. Focusing on mutual funds, I analyze the impact of financial advice and innovations on consumer choices. My research shows that retail investors rely on accessible information, and the quality of financial advice they receive shapes their decisions, influencing capital flows and stock market dynamics. My work also explores conflict of interest and governance of mutual funds and corporations.
