FT To Launch New Weekly Supplement

The Financial Times is launching a new weekly tabloid supplement for the fund management industry called FTfm.

The supplement, which launches on 4 February, will be distributed with the FT on Monday’s and will feature news, analysis and market trends. The FT‘s sales manager, Jeremy Baulf, said: “We have always offered comprehensive coverage of this industry and we know our readers would like to receive more in-depth information on this sector. FTfm will be the only European fund industry newspaper supplement with listings and editorial content.”

Last month Pearson increased the cover price of the Financial Times from 90p to £1 after announcing that profits at the FT Group for 2001 are expected to be down 40% on 2000 (see Pearson Increases FT Cover Price). The company also confirmed that revenue across the whole group for the first quarter of 2002 is expected to fall significantly below the same period in 2001 (see Pearson Warns On Profits).
