About Us

The Capital Markets Cooperative Research Centre was formed in 2001 to bring together the best in innovative research and technology to the capital markets domain.

Positioning itself as a bridge between the practical needs of capital markets and pioneering academic research, the Capital Markets CRC (CMCRC) was formed under the auspices of the Federal Department of Education Science and Technology (DEST) Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) program. Having achieved the goal of attracting key industry and research participants as partners in the program, the CMCRC was granted funding of $62 Million over seven years to foster research that is both leading edge and industry relevant.

The CMCRC is the initiative of a group of researchers, Universities and industry partners who have an impressive track record of commercial success. The CMCRC formula attracts the best of Australia’s researchers to work together with industry partners to develop new and innovative technologies for the capital markets domain.

Headed by Chief Executive Officer, Professor Alex Frino, the CMCRC harnesses the combined research resources of approximately 40 senior researchers from the fields of finance and technology. A similar quantum of human resources is provided by industry partners who also assist in guiding research resources to problems and issues that will make a significant difference in the future operations of global capital markets.
