Our aim is to become the lingua franca for the global financial community. Our real-time subscription service currently reaches around 15,000 financial professionals such as investment bankers, senior corporate executives, hedge fund managers, lawyers and private equity professionals.

We reach a broader audience of nearly 4.5m investors and opinion-formers via columns in the following influential newspapers: The New York Times (USA), The Telegraph (UK), The International Herald Tribune, Le Monde (France), El Pais and Cinco Dias (Spain), Handelsblatt (Germany), La Stampa (Italy), NRC Handelsblad (Netherlands), The National (UAE), The Business Times (Singapore), Mint (India) and L’Agefi (Switzerland).

History is indispensable for understanding the world of finance. But it’s generally used selectively. Divergences between the present and past should inform our analysis as much as any similarities, argues Edward Chancellor.
