Query First, Please

Investment Governance, Inc. encourages contributions from investment fiduciaries, financial advisors, attorneys, regulators, consultants, actuaries, accountants, auditors, policy-makers and researchers at all stages of their careers. Before committing time to research and write an unsolicited piece for either www.investmentgovernance.com or www.pensionriskmatters.com, however, we ask that you query our independent editors. Please send a brief description of your idea to Editors@InvestmentGovernance.com, along with a summary of your background so we have a better idea of your perspective.

Our goal is to provide tools-oriented information and analysis to subscribers, sponsors and policy-makers, including case studies, checklists, commentaries about topical issues, proprietary data sets, surveys, polls, time-saving reference tools, relevant book reviews and much more. We seek to deliver leading edge research and analysis that combines theory with practice. Our commitment to academic and industry best standards is reflected in our sponsorship of several research forums and our prolific contributions to leading industry publications.

We are likewise delighted to have been designated as a publisher of "refereed articles" for the Cabell's Directories of Publishing Opportunities in Accounting, Economics and Finance.

We will always try to accommodate proposed ideas to the extent possible and as long as a contribution fits with our editorial mission to provide independent news, analysis and research to investment decision-makers and related vendors and agents.
