Affiliation of “Mathematical Finance” with the Bachelier Finance Society

The Bachelier Finance Society is proud to announce that the journal “Mathematical Finance” published by Wiley is now officially affiliated with the Bachelier Finance Society.
Specifically, this means that Wiley will use the BFS logo on the journal and market it as “affiliated with the Bachelier Finance Society”. Moreover, Wiley will provide online access to the content of “Mathematical Finance” for society members free of charge, via a special link through the BFS website (to be implemented soon). The BFS in turn will be a resource for editorial succession and input on strategic development.
“Mathematical Finance” is arguably the top journal in our field. The affiliation hence adds true value to our society, by further increasing our visibility and outreach, and by giving free online journal access to our members.
