Dr. Khan has published numerous scientific articles in leading academic journals on stock return prediction models and signals. His research on stock return predictability extended to ESG factors when he coauthored the seminal 2016 Harvard paper on ESG Materiality.1 This paper “marked a turning point in how investors view ESG”.2 His 2019 paper on ESG and global stock returns, published in the CFA Institute Financial Analysts Journal, is the most read ESG article published in that journal in the last decade.3

At Causeway, Dr. Khan works closely with fellow Causeway quantitative portfolio managers in alpha research and portfolio construction. Dr. Khan developed our proprietary ESG alpha scoring engine that identifies companies with strong ESG characteristics and alpha potential. He is also the architect of our ESG integration approach, and developed new Global Sustainable strategies.
