金融學和隨機學是在隨機方法的基礎上，以及在金融問題分析（特別是概率論、統計學和隨機分析）的推動下，在數學中的特定課題上，對金融的各個領域進行研究的學科。《華爾街日報》還發布了有關一般感興趣的金融主題的調查，如果這些調查清楚地描繪和闡明了工作中的基本思想和技術、不同方法之間的相互關系以及仍然開放的核心問題。此外，金融學和隨機學的特點是專門針對快速增長的研究領域中的特定主題。該雜志是一個理想的出版平臺，無論是理論和應用金融經濟學家使用先進的隨機方法和研究人員在隨機性的動機，并對金融和保險的應用感興趣。

Finance and Stochastics presents research in all areas of finance based on stochastic methods as well as on specific topics in mathematics motivated by the analysis of problems in finance (in particular probability theory, statistics and stochastic analysis).The journal also publishes surveys on financial topics of general interest if they clearly picture and illuminate the basic ideas and techniques at work, the interrelationship of different approaches and the central questions which remain open.In addition, Finance and Stochastics features special issues devoted to specific topics in rapidly growing research areas. The journal serves as an ideal publication platform for both theoretical and applied financial economists using advanced stochastic methods and researchers in stochastics motivated by and interested in applications in finance and insurance.
