NISC to Publish the Premier South African Finance Journal

Aimed at investment professionals, included in the Thomson Reuters Social Science Citation Index and accredited by the South African Department of Higher Education and Training, the Investment Analysts Journal is regarded as the premier South African finance journal. 

As of 2015 the journal is being published by NISC and Taylor & Francis and receives academic support from the University of Cape Town, Stellenbosch University and the University of Pretoria’s Gordon Institute of Business Science.

Being the official journal of the Investment Analysts Society of South Africa, the Journal produces high quality and original research three times a year and in seeking to establish a balance between theoretical and empirical studies, papers written in areas of finance, investment, accounting and economics are considered for publication. 

In Volume 44, Issue 3, 2015, Adam Zaremba’s article titled, “Country selection strategies based on value, size and momentum,” is a study providing convincing evidence that stock markets with low capitalisation, low valuation ratios and high momentum tend to outperform country markets with high capitalisation, high valuation rations and low momentum.
