What We Are

A different kind of financial newspaper: contemporary intelligence built on old-fashioned attitude. Here, discerning investors find the clarity, data, debates and champions that drive new economies' investment forward. Offering daily intelligence, insights, recognition and partnership to track global markets' pulse, unpack their salience, and sustain your edge in today's competition for capital and ideas. We are living through a fast-shifting era, one tilted towards new corners of global markets. Yet whether in scale, modalities or mindshare the world's investment in these emerging economies not only hasn't caught up; it isn't close. FHT is therefore a conduit: to amplify their investment story, draw distinctions, showcase excellence, and ultimately drive allocation and greater authority for the voices we cover. Everything we do - from interpreting the news and interviews to expert fora and audience communities - is designed and dedicated exclusively to seizing this opportunity. That is our raison d'être. To create a better investment world informed and open, unafraid and moving plus ultra, further beyond.

The Herald Tribune Legacy

FHT is not a newsletter. Not a Substack. Not memes. Instead for us what's old is new. We aspire to provide a flavour of eccentric, independent, and contrarian news and viewpoints; a new business publication with the spirit of broadsheet elegance and magazine flavour of the past. In particular our masthead pays tribute to the International (formerly New York) Herald Tribune, the world's first global newspaper and unofficial record for the American Lost Generation in Paris. FHT, like that paper, aspires to be a must-have companion to local markets coverage, delivered with a cosmopolitan style that earned the IHT cultural status among diverse audiences – from the French New Wave to an "inveterate iconoclast" short seller. Trenchant, critical and innately human perspective is required of journalism – all too often obscured today. FHT is therefore not only a legacy, but a daily reminder of our ambition. To take a different view, report the truth in an increasingly washed-over world, and remain fiercely independent.

Our Reporting

FHT delivers daily news and analysis, monthly trackers and features, opinion, leader profiles and partnership opportunities across exciting digital, newsletters, and social channels. FHT focus markets are organised across Financial Markets, Wealth, and Macro. In sum we envision these as a gazette for global decision makers and influencers that addresses a discerning, global investor audience. We publish only slop-free content, prioritising alacrity, helpful colour, and the truth. If it's important to global markets, it's here - crafted with deserving depth, impartiality, and reach. More about our subsections:

Financier

Our exclusive focus on emerging markets investment across public and private asset classes. We focus on the untold stories of fund leadership and trading innovation, growing opportunity and thematics unfolding in EM, and the ways emerging markets investors and allocators are, themselves, bearing increasing influence on global markets today.

Wealth & Culture

Timeless dives deep into emerging markets' global wealth culture with specific focus on wealth management and private banking strategies, the globalisation of EM real estate, as well as culture and lifestyle trends that are unique to emerging markets.

Macro

Covering the expert firms that shape the world of emerging markets, Affairs is devoted to macro, geoeconomics and risk, as well as reputation - disciplines both ever-growing and responding to massive tectonic shifts in our space.

Awards Series & Tables

We are proud to present the industry's first global recognition calendar featuring a full slate of awards, executive spotlights, and tables – across our core verticals and exclusively for global markets.

MUNDIAL Awards is our series judged for excellence, innovation, and impact among individual leaders and experts, corporates and collaborations, throughout the year.

We supplement these programs with Tourbillon Tables, rankings which showcase outstanding funds, products and platforms in fulsome detail at both global and regional EM levels, as well as our specialised Verified guides and directories.
