MoneyWeek

MoneyWeek is a weekly investment magazine that covers financial and economic news and provides commentary and analysis across UK and global markets. MoneyWeek is edited in London and published every Friday.

It is owned by MoneyWeek Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of U.S.-based Agora Inc headed by Bill Bonner.

From July to December 2008, the magazine had an Audited Bureau of Circulations (ABC) certified circulation of 38,916 (98.8% of which was in the UK and Ireland).^[1] During the period July–December 2008 MoneyWeek was the fastest-growing magazine in its sector (paid-for business and finance titles).^[2]

History

MoneyWeek, founded by Jolyon Connell, was launched in November 2000 and originally published in association with Dennis Publishing, also backed by private investors including Lord Hanson, Lord Rothschild, Roddie Flemming and Wafic Said.^[3] It was designed as a financial version of The Week magazine, which was founded by Jolyon Connell five years previously.^[4]

MoneyWeek was sold by Dennis Publishing to Financial News Ltd. in August 2002.^[5] In late 2003 it was bought by U.S. financial publisher, Agora Inc.^[6]

A South African edition of MoneyWeek was launched in June 2007, initially on a subscription basis, with newsstand availability from 2008.^[7] A French language edition, published in Paris, was launched in September 2008.^{[citation needed]}

Content

MoneyWeek is edited by John Stepek. Merryn Somerset Webb is the magazine's editor in chief.

Its aim is "…to make sense of all the thousands of column inches that are published daily in magazines, newspapers and internet sites dedicated to finance and distil it into useful information that we can all profit from."^[8]

MoneyWeek provides a digest of the week’s financial and investment news, and also covers associated economic and political stories.

In addition to the news digest, it features market commentary and analysis, share tips, interviews, regular columnists (including Bill Bonner, founder of Agora Inc.), and travel and lifestyle pieces.

MoneyWeek’s editorial stance on investing and stock markets is often contrarian. For example, it consistently backed gold and oil as worthwhile investments from 2002 onwards, before they reached mainstream media awareness. It has also been predicting a UK housing crash since 2004.^{[citation needed]}
