MoneyWeek first appeared in 2000. The founding editors, appalled by the endless marketing blurb produced by the financial-services industry, had decided that private investors deserved a concise, punchy and – crucially – independent weekly overview of the financial world. The team’s willingness to think outside the City box has always stood the magazine in good stead. We were among the very few brands to see the financial crisis of 2008 coming. MoneyWeek has continued in this vein, establishing itself as the leading weekly investment magazine in its field. It stands out thanks to its contrarian, irreverent tone – underlined by popular cover cartoons – and the wide array of features covering macroeconomics, asset markets and politics, which continue to help readers make it, keep it, and spend it.
