FT parent strikes artificial intelligence deal

The Financial Times Group has announced a strategic partnership with RavenPack, a leader in artificial intelligence and big data analytics for financial services.

Terms were not disclosed

The partnership comprises three components: an investment in RavenPack by FT Ventures, an AI content license framework with FT Professional, and access to selected FT Group products and services. The collaboration reflects a shared commitment to responsible AI grounded in editorial integrity, transparency and attribution.

The partnership establishes a responsible framework for the advancement of AI and journalism. Through an FT Professional content license, RavenPack will integrate FT journalism into three of its core products — Analytics, Annotations and Bigdata.com.

The latter will require clients to have a FT Professional license. This will enable financial institutions to seamlessly combine the FT’s trusted reporting with RavenPack’s analytics products and AI agentic capabilities.

“Our partnership with RavenPack marks a major step forward in how the FT supports the evolving needs of the financial community,” said James Mann, managing director of FT Professional, in a statement. “This is also the FT’s first distribution partnership purpose-built for the generative AI era, reflecting how professional readers increasingly rely on both human insight and machine-driven analysis.”
