I am an Assistant Professor of Finance at the Sobey School of Business, Saint Mary’s University. My research examines how market concentration — the growing dominance of a small number of very large firms — shapes asset prices. In recent work, my co-authors and I show that concentration risk is priced in both U.S. equities and corporate bonds, with implications for diversification, portfolio allocation, and financial stability.
