Barron’s Asia, a premier paid financial news website to be launched this fall, seeks a motivated reporter who can write about personal finance and wealth management for sophisticated investors.
This is a full-time position based primarily in Hong Kong. The reporter is expected to write in English several stories a week. The focus is on advice for wealthy families and investors, and may run the gamut from interviews with private bankers to guidance on asset allocations, not to mention stories about collecting art, buying vacation homes or philanthropy. Candidates must be adept at writing for investors and coming up with original ideas, and should have a broad knowledge of the various Asian markets.
The successful applicant should be an adroit writer with a way with words. He or she should have at least three years’ experience writing about markets, investments or wealth management, and should be able to handle numbers and exclusive sources with equal aplomb. While the hire will write in English, the ability to speak local languages is a plus. He or she will also have a chance to work with colleagues in New York, and have stories published in the U.S. magazine.
