FT Business is the specialist publishing business of Financial Times Group, which is owned by Pearson Plc.
The roots of FT Business go back to the 1920s, when Brendan Bracken launched The Banker and later bought Investors Chronicle. In 1970, Money Management was added to the portfolio, and soon after a separate division was formed for magazines.
We have a strong portfolio of magazine brands each targeting specific areas of the financial world. Our strength comes from focusing on these areas and creating a dialogue within those markets through print publications, websites and events.
