Since its inception in 2009, SAIF has been committed to establishing a world-class institution within China, distinguished by a first-rate faculty, exceptional finance talent, an open research platform, and a preeminent think tank. We are proud to have cultivated a world-class faculty that not only leads in Asia but also stands at the forefront in China within the domain of finance.
As of January 2024, SAIF boasts a team of 78 professors, comprising 34 full-time professors, 29 STP/VRP professors, and 15 affiliated professors. The academic research conducted by these esteemed professionals significantly contributes to SAIF's position as the "global academic authority on China's economic and financial issues, and China's intellectual hub on global economic and financial issues". Furthermore, their work accelerates the development of Shanghai as an International Financial Center and aids in solidifying Shanghai Jiaotong University's (SJTU) status as a world-class university.
