The Journal of Investment Consulting, published by Investment Management Consultants Association (IMCA), keeps investment management consultants and investment advisors abreast of new research findings in investments and private wealth management.

TOPICS: Papers are invited for publishing consideration from academics and qualified practitioners for Issue #1, 2014 on the topic of risk management. Under risk management, subtopics include but are not limited to the following: risk parity, risks of exchange-traded funds, running a business, managing tail risk, portfolio construction and how it can enhance portfolio management, governance of companies, counterparty risk, retirement and demographic changes and their impact on the capital markets, and legal/regulatory considerations. Papers should provide the development of theory and applied research on the chosen topic.

REVIEW PROCESS: A distinguished editorial advisory board consisting of acknowledged authorities and leaders in the fields of investment consulting, investment management, capital markets, fiduciary practice, wealth management, and financial planning will review submissions via double-blind review. Papers will be selected for publication based on relevancy, content, and proof of thought.
