Alternative IQ Editorial Submissions

Editorial

Submissions to Alternative IQ

One of ISI’s core strengths is the author network we have built over the last 17 years. We invite you to submit articles for publication.

The writing style in Alternative IQ is not journalistic, but informative editorial. We do not cover performance or reproduce fund data, but rather look for commentary on strategies and developments in the hedge fund world, from the nuts and bolts of regulation and taxation — analysing the implications of those changes — to commentary on subjects such as fund manager styles, risk management, and marketing and distribution. In short, our aim is to produce an incisive commentary on the framework in which the alternative investment world operates, on a quarterly basis.

We do ask that the articles are not company promotional pieces, but cover a topical aspect of the alternative investment industry. Our editorial team will evaluate articles submitted for publication and notify you if we wish to include your article for publication.

Thank you for working with us on Alternative IQ!
