How Our Editorial Work Is Organised
MarketReview covers a broad range of financial subjects, and no single contributor is expected to be equally knowledgeable in every area.
An article about market structure may require a different perspective from one about household budgeting, financial accounting or retirement planning. Subjects are therefore assigned according to the contributor’s background and areas of interest wherever practical.
Contributors may research and write an article independently, work from an editorial brief or help revise an existing MarketReview article. Material changes to older content may include updated sources, clearer risk explanations, improved attribution or the removal of claims that can no longer be supported.
The final responsibility for deciding what appears on MarketReview rests with the publication. An individual byline identifies who wrote or materially contributed to an article, but it does not remove MarketReview’s responsibility for maintaining the content and addressing confirmed errors.
You can learn more about this process through our Editorial Policy and Fact-Checking & Sources pages.

Ken Stephens
Editor-in-Chief
Ken Stephens brings a broad perspective on investing, trading and financial markets to MarketReview.
His experience with markets extends across several decades and includes managing his own investments as well as work connected with the investment-banking industry. That background has given him experience with both the practical decisions faced by individual market participants and the wider forces that influence financial institutions and asset prices.
Ken’s editorial approach is built around questioning assumptions. Rather than treating a familiar market belief as settled simply because it is widely repeated, he looks for the reasoning and evidence behind it. His work often focuses on identifying the difference between an explanation that merely sounds convincing and one that holds up under closer examination.
As Editor-in-Chief, Ken helps shape MarketReview’s editorial direction and contributes particularly to coverage involving investing, trading and market analysis.
John Miller
Economics Contributor
John Miller contributes to MarketReview’s coverage of economics and the relationship between economic forces and financial decisions.
Economic ideas are sometimes treated as separate from everyday finance, but they influence almost every area MarketReview covers. Interest rates, inflation, employment, supply and demand, government policy and changing economic expectations can affect investments, borrowing costs, business conditions and household finances.
John’s work aims to connect these broader principles with their practical financial consequences. Rather than discussing economics only as an academic subject, he focuses on how economic incentives and constraints can help explain the behaviour of markets, institutions and individuals.
His contributions are particularly relevant when an article requires a clearer explanation of why a financial trend is happening, rather than simply describing the trend itself.
Monica Stankowski
Market Analyst
Monica Stankowski contributes financial-market analysis to MarketReview.
Her approach draws on both fundamental and technical methods. Fundamental analysis may examine economic conditions, company performance, valuation or other underlying factors, while technical analysis focuses more closely on price behaviour, market trends and the information reflected in trading activity.
These methods are often presented as competing schools of thought. Monica’s approach is more practical: different forms of analysis can offer different kinds of information, and their usefulness depends on the question being asked.
Her work for MarketReview focuses on interpreting market conditions, examining the evidence behind a prevailing view and identifying factors that may affect what happens next. As with all market analysis, conclusions are presented as interpretations rather than guaranteed predictions.
Eric Baker
Trading and Quantitative Markets Contributor
Eric Baker contributes to MarketReview’s coverage of trading, market probabilities and quantitative decision-making.
His background includes more than two decades of trading experience, involving both personal accounts and work at a proprietary trading firm. Although he is no longer working at the firm, he continues to follow and participate in markets.
Eric’s perspective emphasizes probability, risk management and the numerical side of financial decision-making. Trading outcomes are rarely determined by certainty. They depend instead on managing incomplete information, assessing possible outcomes and controlling the effect of being wrong.
While this perspective is especially relevant to active trading, many of the underlying ideas also apply to longer-term investing. Position size, expected return, downside risk and the difference between a good decision and a favourable outcome are important well beyond short-term markets.
His contributions aim to explain these ideas without suggesting that quantitative methods eliminate uncertainty or guarantee profitable results.
Robert Paulsen
Personal Finance Writer
Robert Paulsen writes primarily about personal finance.
His experience as a financial writer extends over more than a decade, with a particular focus on the practical decisions people face when managing income, spending, savings, debt and longer-term goals.
Personal finance advice often becomes dominated by slogans and rigid rules. Robert’s work looks more closely at the circumstances behind those rules and the reasons they may work well for one household but poorly for another.
His articles aim to help readers organise financial decisions around their actual priorities rather than around an abstract idea of what everyone is supposed to do. That may involve examining trade-offs, questioning assumptions or distinguishing between a financially attractive choice and one that is genuinely suitable for a particular set of circumstances.
Robert’s writing reflects MarketReview’s broader view that useful personal finance content should help readers think more clearly, not simply tell them which rule to follow.
Andrew Liu
Financial Accounting Contributor
Andrew Liu contributes to MarketReview’s coverage of financial accounting and the interpretation of financial information.
His work focuses on identifying the figures that matter, understanding how they relate to one another and separating useful information from detail that may distract from the central issue.
Financial statements and accounting concepts can appear intimidating because of their terminology and structure. Andrew’s approach is to move past that complexity and explain what the numbers are actually saying about a business, transaction or financial situation.
As one of the younger contributors associated with MarketReview, he brings a developing perspective to the publication’s accounting and finance coverage. His contributions are intended to make numerical and accounting subjects more accessible without stripping away the distinctions required for an accurate explanation.
Contributors, Roles and Bylines
A person listed on this page may contribute regularly or occasionally. Listing someone as part of the MarketReview editorial team does not necessarily mean that the person is a full-time employee.
Individual articles should carry the byline of the person who wrote or materially contributed to them. When an older article is substantially rewritten by someone else, its attribution should make that change clear rather than implying that the original writer approved a version they did not review.
Depending on the circumstances, attribution may state that an article was originally written by one contributor and subsequently updated by MarketReview or another named writer.
Minor copy edits, formatting changes or administrative work do not normally justify changing an article’s authorship.
MarketReview does not use fictional authors, invented biographies or unrelated stock photographs to create an appearance of editorial expertise. Professional experience, qualifications and contributor roles should be described accurately and updated when they change.
Editorial Responsibility and Corrections
MarketReview contributors are expected to distinguish factual information from analysis, opinion and prediction.
Financial claims that may materially affect a reader’s understanding should be supported by reliable information wherever practical. When a source is time-sensitive, the relevant date and jurisdiction should be clear.
Contributors should also avoid claiming personal experience they do not possess. An article should not imply that a product was tested, an expert was interviewed or a professional review occurred unless that genuinely happened.
MarketReview may edit contributed work for accuracy, clarity, sourcing, structure and consistency with its editorial standards. Unsupported or outdated claims may be corrected, qualified or removed.
Readers who believe an article contains a factual error, incorrect attribution or inaccurate information about a contributor may contact MarketReview. Credible concerns will be reviewed against the available evidence and corrected where appropriate.
Questions about an article, its author or MarketReview’s editorial process can be submitted through our Contact Us page.
When contacting us about a specific article, please include the page URL and enough information to identify the issue. Correction requests involving a factual claim should include an authoritative source or supporting documentation where available.
