Fidelity University Research

Academic institutions operate at the intersection of disruption, innovative solutions, and talent. FCAT and many business units within Fidelity have long supported working with leading research and other institutions. We seek to develop deep relationships with universities on work that includes sponsored research, consortia, academic project programs, and beyond.

University Collaborations

Fidelity has a long history of working with universities not only out of FCAT but from across the firm. Universities represent a way to challenge our thinking and navigate the development of cutting-edge technology and an understanding of society and culture among other research endeavors.

Working with FCAT

FCAT recognizes the diverse and thought-provoking environments that universities represent. In the spirit of innovation, we believe that in addition to major research institutions, there are incredible, untapped universities and colleges with whom we would want to work or help to find a project partner within the larger firm.
FCAT is built on a culture of experimentation. We investigate what is coming next in technology and its use or impact on financial services. By developing thought-provoking proofs of concept in our interest areas, we share that new knowledge to the rest of the firm.
