Barron’s launches email newsletter aimed at financial advisors

Barron’s launched Tuesday a daily email newsletter, available without subscription, featuring top news headlines for financial advisors.

The newsletter builds on the success of the Advisor Center page on its website, which launched in October 2016, and has seen a steady increase in traffic month to month.

“Our goal is to earn 5 minutes of the morning reading time of America’s top financial advisors every day,” said Sterling Shea, associate publisher and head of advisory programs for Barron’s, in a statement. “We see a void in the market for timely and high-quality reporting on the issues advisors need to know, and we believe they will find this insight very useful in their work.”

Advisor Center offers summaries of the latest industry news and articles covering every aspect of the wealth management industry. It also features advisors’ tips on best practices and advice on asset management.
