The purpose of The Journal of Financial Decision Making is to present innovative, original and high standard research, leading to quantitative methodologies and operational decision aids for optimal financial decisions.

The range of quantitative approaches spans from management science, operations research, probability theory, stochastic calculus, statistics, econometrics and mathematical finance theory, focusing onto the development of operational financial decision aids.

The Journal of Financial Decision Making (JFDM) encapsulates the intersection of interests between academics and practitioners. It is motivated by the real-world financial problems encountered in such institutions as investment banks, asset management firms, mutual and pension funds, hedge funds, financial regulation authorities as well as industrial, commercial and financial consulting firms.

The journal welcomes the development and application of any quantitative approach to such financial problems and aims at the mathematical statement of rigorous scientific propositions, leading to an operational decision aid in finance.
