You Will:
- Cover the gamut—including equities, fixed income, ETFs, mutual funds, and alternatives.

- Produce authoritative and deeply reported enterprise pieces that provide practical advice on where to invest long-term.

- The role involves coverage of fixed income, from Treasuries to junk bonds, including profiles of fund managers and their strategies. This person will also be able to produce stories about alternatives like private equity or hedge funds, whether as profiles or strategies, and can weigh in authoritatively on topics like the 60/40 portfolio, index funds, dividend investing, geopolitical events or macro trends.
You Have:
- 7-10 years of experience as a writer and a strong understanding of finance and economics
