Institutional Investor is an international business to business publisher that focuses mainly on international finance.

They are looking for “stories that feature conflict, narrative, access, and disclosure”; “international content that will resonate with American readers”; “articles based on novel data or research about the asset management industry”; “cultural stories about the financial industry”; and “freelancers who know the institutional investment world.”

The pieces should ideally be 1,000 to 2,000 words long.

Pay is $1 a word plus reasonable expenses.  They pay more to certain freelancers, as well as those with “hot scoops.”

It’s not a surprise they pay these rates; the finance industry is a high-margin industry, with a lot of money floating around. If you’re looking for high-paying writing jobs, it always helps to start with an industry that has plenty of money.
