The chair has been founded in 2002 with the kindly support of the DZ BANK Foundation. Since 2004 it has been part of the then newly established Institute for Finance which also includes the Departments of Finance and Banking, Finance and Risk Management, and the Assistant Professorship of Finance.
On May 17, 2025, Prof. Dr. Marliese Uhrig-Homburg and her team were awarded the Faculty Teaching Award by the KIT Faculty of Economics and Management. We are very happy about this award! You can find impressions of the Teaching at our chair on the KIT YouTube channel.
