– breakingviews.com, the leading international financial commentary publication, has completed a £1,750,000 rights issue. This is the third round of financing for the company as it expands its operations in the US and Europe.
Breakingviews is actively hiring both editorial and commercial staff in the US, London and continental Europe. It has opened bureaux in Washington DC and Paris this month, just one year after expanding its New York office.
“Our readers have consistently asked us to expand our coverage. The rights issue enables us to accelerate growth,” said Hugo Dixon, editor and chairman of breakingviews.com.
