This joint research by the Universities of Cambridge and Aberdeen investigated the extent to which and how hurdle rates are used in investment decisions. The study identified a range of approaches, reflecting diversity of investor type, asset and market focus, investment horizon and objectives. Findings also included that IRRs are the dominant decision metric and investment decision-making processes vary greatly in complexity and are typically adjusted to a specific project or investment, although some investors take an overall hurdle rate approach for all investments.
