offered in partnership with the Review of Finance.
The authors are invited to submit unpublished papers on any topic related
to investments that are not under journal revision (R&R) or scheduled

Possible topics include: Arbitrage in Asset Markets, Corporate Decisions

Investor Behavior and Performance, Liquidity and Security Returns, Mutual
Funds and Pension Funds, Portfolio Rebalancing Strategies, Real Economy and

Submission: 
The submission is open from October 20 to November 20, 2025 (23:59
UTC‐11). Please submit a blind copy of the paper in PDF format at
wsir.org. The PDF file name should include the first several words of the
submitted paper’s title. At the time of submission, each author will have
an option to register for a possible discussant slot in case his/her paper
is not selected for the symposium. The submission fee is $95.00 ($60.00 for
student‐only papers).
Review of Finance dual submission option: 
Submissions to the symposium can also be submitted to the RF under its dual
review system at no extra cost. Papers rejected at any stage of the dual
review process are not considered to have been “rejected” at the RF.
Thus, the authors can submit a future version of their paper to the RF
without prejudice. While under consideration by the symposium and the RF, a
paper may not be under review at any journal, including the RF, until the
author has been notified of the outcome of the dual submission process.
Additional Information:
The submitted papers will be reviewed and ranked by the symposium committee
members and ten papers will be selected. The authors will be notified of
the selection outcome by January 31, 2026. The online registration will be
open at wsir.org from February 20 to April 20, 2026. Symposium participants
are responsible for their own travel arrangements. Each discussant receives
a small honorarium. Any questions about the symposium should be sent
to info@wsir.org
