- Get inside the biggest and most influential funds that invest in the cross-asset space, uncover what’s driving their performance and the people behind it
- Build sources across the equity and cross-asset universe, including funds, traders, investors to break news and keep us ahead of the competition
- Be able to step back and write the bigger picture for a broad audience, using graphics, photos and video
