Finance, stories, and the discipline of acting under uncertainty.

I am a professor of finance and researcher, a novelist, and a trading performance coach. Across all three, I keep returning to the same problem: what happens between what people know, the story they tell themselves about it, and what they finally do when the outcome is uncertain.

01Academia

Professor, researcher, student of financial decisions.

I teach finance at Al-Akhawayn University and research valuation, markets, investor behavior, governance, and decision-making under uncertainty. This academic work shapes how I think about risk, evidence, judgment, and behavior.

02Writing

Novels about inner lives, uncertainty, and consequence.

I write literary, psychological, speculative, philosophical, young-adult, and finance-inflected fiction in English, French, and Arabic. The novels stand on their own; they also sharpen my attention to contradiction, self-narrative, and motive.

03Trading Performance Coaching

Where academic rigor meets the human reality of execution.

This is the service I offer: behavioral coaching for experienced traders who already understand markets and want to close the gap between what they know and what they actually do under pressure.

About

Two bodies of work.
One coaching lens.

Hicham Benjelloun

My academic work and my fiction stand on their own. They also shape the way I coach. Finance gives me models, evidence, risk, and disciplined reasoning. Fiction keeps me close to ambiguity, self-narrative, contradiction, and the private logic behind behavior.

Trading performance coaching is where those two forms of attention meet: not in theory, but in the moment a trader has to execute.
