# Mathematical Finance (mathematical-finance)
## Journal positioning
Mathematical Finance is a leading journal at the interface of mathematics and finance, publishing rigorous theory: stochastic processes, derivatives pricing, optimal control and portfolio choice, risk measures, and the probabilistic and analytic foundations of financial models. The contribution is mathematical — new models, theorems, or methods with proofs — addressed to readers comfortable with measure-theoretic probability and stochastic analysis. It is not an empirical finance journal; the standard of acceptance is mathematical rigor and financial relevance, not statistical significance.
This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the Mathematical Finance / Wiley site and the editorial submission system.
## When to trigger
- The author names Mathematical Finance (or math-finance / quantitative-finance theory venues) as the target.
- A paper proves new results about pricing, hedging, optimal control, or risk under a stochastic model.
- A quantitative paper has a genuine mathematical contribution that an empirical finance journal would not referee properly.
- The author needs Mathematical Finance's desk-reject risks and a credible math-finance / finance-theory alternative list.
