Profile

Martin Turner has had a career in private equity, funds management and investment banking.

Martin has a BCom(Hons 1), LLB and MBA. He was a University Medallist and came top of his combined Commerce/Law degrees at the University of New South Wales. He won the Prize for Finance in his MBA, which he completed at the Australian Graduate School of Management (AGSM).

Martin has a research interest in private equity. As private equity continues to dramatically grow internationally as a form of corporate finance, so does its economic and social importance. Martin is interested in developing an academic research program in private equity, employing a wide range of appropriate research approaches. Martin has a particular interest in using both quantitative and qualitative methods to aid deeper academic and practical understanding of what is still a relatively little understood activity. He is seeking to combine his extensive practical experience in private equity with his strong academic interests in this area.

Martin Turner's teaching interests are principally in financial accounting and financial statement analysis.
