FT launches wealth management coverage initiative

The Financial Times has launched a wealth management section of its website and an email newsletter with two editorial partners

Along with FT Specialist and Nikkei Asia, the coverage will explore the economic shifts affecting high-net-worth individuals and the wealth management industry. A central hub on FT.com will host content from all publications, while PWM, FT Adviser, Asset Allocator and Nikkei Asia will also post content.

A monthly subscriber email will be sent to registered users across FT.com, PWM, FT Adviser and Asset Allocator, and content will also be translated and published on FTChinese.

“The global wealth industry remains in flux, and looks set to continue growing, especially in middle-income countries,” said FT deputy editor Patrick Jenkins in a statement. “FT Wealth Management will deliver unrivaled insight to an already highly-engaged audience of FT readers. This way of working, with close collaboration across different titles, is new ground for the FT.”
