About the Forum
One publication. One standard.
The Oval Financial Forum is a student-run publication built around a simple idea: finance writing is better when it's done by people who care about getting it right. Every issue passes through our Editor-in-Chief and our VP of Copy & Standards before it reaches your inbox.
We don't sell ad space. We don't aggregate. We write, edit, and publish a single monthly issue — The Oval Review — and we send it out to anyone who wants to read it.
