Journal 32: Applied Finance

This issue of the Capco Journal is dedicated to applied finance and focuses on the complexity of finance from a practical, and more importantly, managerial perspective. We at the Journal of Financial Transformation firmly believe that there is still quite a large gap between the research undertaken at leading finance academies, some of which has permeated into the real world, and what investors and borrowers need and apply. We believe that future research in finance should focus on what actually happens in the markets rather than what should.
