The focus of the Special Issue will be on papers covering all aspects of investments and financial market dynamics. Topics of particular interest include the following: portfolio management strategies and tactics; diversification in managing risk; currency speculation and hedging; sector diversification (specifically including technology and energy); Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs); mutual funds, pension funds, and sovereign wealth funds; equities, fixed income securities, and alternative investments (including private equity, private debt, hedge funds, commodities, precious metals, and real estate); passive vs. active investing; behavioral finance; volatility; dynamic asset allocation; ESG-related market disruptions; fundamental and technical analysis; algorithmic trading; use of derivatives alone or in combination with underlying assets for hedging and/or speculation; cryptocurrencies; utility tokens (including potential applications of smart contracts); robotics; artificial intelligence; tariffs; and investment effects of tax regime change.
The primary purpose of this Special Issue is to provide innovative research that builds on and extends the current literature on investment strategy and market dynamics for readers and researchers alike. The Special Issue also seeks to provide contributing authors with timely meaningful feedback on their submissions. Empirical research is strongly encouraged, but well-argued theoretical research will also be considered. Methodological contributions and creative thought are welcome.
