We also cover behavioral finance, alternative investments like hedge funds and private equity, derivatives and structured finance, liquidity and transaction costs, ESG, CSR, and socially responsible investment.

Furthermore, we welcome articles on funds and corporate governance, regulation and financial risk management, capital markets, interest rate instruments, asset-backed securities, equities and convertibles, securities design, currencies, corporate finance, hedging strategies, and asset-liability management. This broad scope ensures that we address the diverse interests and needs of our readership.

 

Our Commitment
We are committed to publishing articles that are innovative, presenting new ideas or novel approaches to existing challenges. These articles are based on rigorous research methodologies and data analysis, ensuring the highest standards of academic integrity. At the same time, we prioritize the interest of the research we produce for practitioners. 

Importantly, we strive for accessibility in our content. All articles are written in a style that is clear and engaging for our professional readership, making complex concepts understandable without sacrificing depth or accuracy. By maintaining these standards, we aim to create a valuable resource for both academics and professionals in the investment field.
