The premier publication for the investment industry

Investment Week is the weekly magazine for top-tier investment professionals in the UK. Launched in 1995 as Incisive Media's flagship title, Investment Week provides information and inspiration that has enabled the title to win 22 awards in 12 years.

Along with its recently relaunched website, www.investmentweek.co.uk, that acts as an essential research tool, Investment Week provides the market with authoritative, objective and independent news, features and analysis that offer business opportunities, research and educational material.

The success and power of the Investment Week brand has enabled it to launch a set of market-leading events, including the Fund Manager of the Year Awards at the Royal Albert Hall, the Oscars for Excellence in Fund Management, and the infamous Square Up in the City, a boxing match between fund managers.

Each event is individually tailored to achieve specific objectives, ranging from highly focused, invitation-only seminars such as Investment Week Focused Events, to larger scale, high profile, industry-wide conferences such as Market and Global Forums, and award ceremonies. Each address is made by senior investment staff from participating companies, for example fund mangers, chief investment officers, sales or marketing directors and portfolio managers.

Building an online educational portal has been central to Investment Week's success over the past few years, with the introduction of innovations such as Conjecture, a discretionary web conferencing club, An Audience with..., and Market Reactions, all offering investment professionals access to fund manager strategy, debate and insight without leaving their desks.

Readership overview

Investment Week is distributed to 14 000 investment professionals in the UK. Priding itself on its strictly controlled circulation that is 100% fully requested and under 12 months old, Investment Week is read by key decision makers such as chief investment officers, multi-managers and investment gatekeepers.

Editorial philosophy

Investment Week prides itself on providing the investment sector's leading advisers and other decision makers with the strongest news coverage and most in-depth analysis of every aspect of their industry.

Taking in all issues and products with an investment element, Investment Week is able to offer the best coverage, both in print and online, for the UK's top investment professionals as a result of its journalists' experience and unparalleled access to the market.

The original intention for Investment Week at its launch in 1995 was that it should be a specialist educational and aspirational title for investment advisers, and this idea has only been reinforced by its 2007 relaunch, that took place alongside a comprehensive upgrading of its www.investmentweek.co.uk website.

The magazine and website work closely together with a view to bringing their combined audience timely and relevant news stories online, before then following up them up in greater depth and with more analysis in the following Monday's print offering.

The news, analysis and statistics on offer through the magazine and website are designed to cater for all of an investment adviser's information needs, but Investment Week never rests on its laurels and is constantly working with its audience on ways to enhance this package.
