Williams initiated the creation of a new journal in 1986. To this end, the Society for Financial Studies was founded as a non-profit organization in the following year , which took over the publishing of the journal and gained Oxford University Press as the publishing house. Brennan became the first editor-in-chief of the magazine, the first issue of which appeared in 1988.
