When asked about the award, Professor Faraglia said "It is a great opportunity and honour to be appointed to the J.M. Keynes fellowship. In the next years my research will be closely linked to the areas of the Fund, exploring links between corporate structures, portfolio choice and global financial cycles.”

The J M Keynes Fellowships Fund was established by the University of Cambridge in 2010 to support Fellows undertaking research in the areas of finance, financial institutions, financial markets, and their relationship with microeconomic behaviour and macro-economic performance, including public policy issues relating to financial markets, and, for encouraging collaboration between cognate Faculties and Departments.

The holders of Fellowships are drawn from a wide range of experience and expertise, encompassing both researchers of exceptional promise and established scholars, creating an exciting and dynamic Fellowship. The purpose of the Fellowship is to further interdisciplinary research and study in the general area of financial economics, on the basis of a proposal approved by the Managers at the time of election.
