Financial Frontiers Awards
From Planipedia
The Financial Frontiers Awards are cash awards for outstanding research papers in financial services. The awards were created to encourage and showcase new ideas and practical solutions that can help financial advisors and their clients. Amid a sea of change in an increasingly sophisticated financial services industry, the awards program encourages thought leaders to share their latest research for the benefit of all advisors and their clients. Submissions may extend current theory or practice, identify new areas of inquiry, or be original insights on the science of financial planning and wealth management.
The Financial Frontiers Awards are sponsored by Janus Labs and the Journal of Financial Planning, the periodical for the Financial Planning Association.
