Giovanni Barone-Adesi is Emeritus Professor of Economics at the Università della Svizzera italiana. Professor Barone-Adesi is President of OpenCapital, an asset management firm based in Lugano.

Expertise

Professor Barone-Adesi studies the design and management of synthetic risk-free assets and their application to improve the performance of pension and insurance funds. A dynamic portfolio of stocks and bonds may attain a desired long-term target value, yielding a return greater than the risk-free rate. This is achieved by capturing a fraction of the equity premium, subject to small shortfall probabilities.
