Financial planning involves creating a strategy through investments and other methods to meet life goals for retirement and estate planning, taxes, insurance, and more. The Financial & Investment Planning Research Network on SSRN is an open access preprint server that provides a venue for authors to showcase their research papers in our digital library, speeding up the dissemination and providing the scholarly community access to groundbreaking working papers and early-stage research. SSRN provides the opportunity to share different outputs of research such as preprints, preliminary or exploratory investigations, book chapters, PhD dissertations, course and teaching materials, presentations, and posters among others. SSRN also helps financial and investment planning scholars discover the latest research in their own and other fields of interest, while providing a platform for the early sharing of their own work, making it available for subsequent work to be built upon more quickly.
The Financial & Investment Planning Research Network on SSRN (FIPRN) covers various areas within financial goal planning including alternative asset investments, retirement planning, tax planning, global currencies, and estate planning among others.

This intersection will help finance and investment scholars and practitioners uncover new opportunities, develop new strategies, and create new techniques that will improve performance in a sustainable fashion.
