Bernstein Fabozzi/Jacobs Levy Awards

Selected annually by its readers, the Bernstein Fabozzi/Jacobs Levy Awards acknowledge and highlight the most innovative and compelling research published each year in The Journal of Portfolio Management.

The Awards were established in 1999 to honor Editors Peter L. Bernstein and Frank J. Fabozzi for their extraordinary contributions to the field of finance and to promote research excellence in the theory and practice of portfolio management.

Co-founded and generously funded by Bruce Jacobs and Ken Levy of Jacobs Levy Equity Management, the prize for the Best Article is $5,000 and the prize for each Outstanding Article is $2,500.

Every five years, the award-winning articles and commentaries are collected into a limited-edition book. The Bernstein Fabozzi/Jacobs Levy Awards: Five Years of Award-Winning Articles from The Journal of Portfolio Management, Volumes One through Four, books features an introduction from the editors and include each of the winning articles accompanied by commentaries from the award-winning authors discussing the motivation behind their articles and ongoing research.
