K. Geert Rouwenhorst is a Dutch-American investor and professor of finance.
He was hired at Yale University in 1990. In 2012, he was appointed the Robert B. and Candice J. Haas Professor at Yale School of Management and Deputy Director for International Financial Center at Yale. His work has traced the history of mutual funds through 18th century Netherlands.[1][2] The International Financial Center at Yale also holds the oldest non-defaulted bond in the world.
