The Financial Times is relaunching its popular FT Wealth supplement with a change of format to a high quality magazine. The magazine, to be published quarterly, will address the unique interests, issues and challenges of the very wealthy. The magazine will be distributed with the UK, European and Asian editions of the Financial Times. The first issue will accompany the March 28th edition of the Financial Times.

Previously a tabloid report, FT Wealth is being relaunched as a high quality magazine, unique in size and style. Aimed at “global citizens” with personal assets of over £1 million / €1.5 million, in addition to the value of their home, it will analyse specialist topics including asset allocation, new and exotic investment products, investment alternatives (such as watches, art and wine), real estate and opportunities in emerging markets.

FT Wealth will also explore peripheral wealth issues including philanthropy, succession/family planning, education, matrimonial, security and social issues. The magazine will achieve this through a mix of analysis, trend pieces, interviews, case studies, profiles and opinion columns together with exclusive data.

Dominic Good, Advertising Director EMEA and Global Display, commented, “FT Wealth is a high quality product designed for a unique audience, making it the ideal advertising proposition for our wealth management banking clients. FT Wealth will be read by the top 1% of the population in terms of wealth, an audience which no other publication can claim to reach.”

Research conducted by Tulip Financial Research and Mintel International analysing the High Net Wealth reveals that over 60% of the total UK assets are controlled by just 1% of the population. It also discovered that 50% of these individuals, with total liquid assets of £600 billion, make most of their own investment decisions without being influenced or advised upon by Private Banks or Wealth Managers. Of the UK population with over £1m in investable assets, 66% read the Financial Times regularly, 25% more than its nearest competitor. Consequently, the Financial Times reaches individuals making their own unassisted investment decisions on approx £396bn in the UK alone.

Confirmed advertisers in FT Wealth include Breitling, Barclays Global Investor, Barclays, Credit Suisse, Collins Stewart, Graff, Kleinwort Benson, Patek Phillippe, Lyxor, Equity Trust, Rathbones and SG Private Bank.

The four editions of FT Wealth are due to be published in the Financial Times on 28th March, 27th June, 19th September and 19th December.
