About Us

IFA Magazine – the most innovative newcomer to have hit Britain’s financial publishing scene for many years.

Published ten times a year, IFA Magazine is already winning a keen and enthusiastic following among Britain’s premier financial advisers.

Thanks to its trademark blend of sharp professional analysis and strongly argued opinions from leading industry figures – all wrapped up in one of the most visually exciting packages you’ll find anywhere in the publishing environment.

IFA Magazine simply exudes quality. From the high-gloss cover to the perfect-bound spine and the startlingly intense quality of its graphic imagery, its design owes more to the higher-level lifestyle magazines than to the ordinary financial press. Our readers know how to appreciate the finer points of a well-presented publication, and they are proving intensely loyal.

What keeps them loyal isn’t just the journalistic strength of a senior team with backgrounds in the Financial Times, the Economist, Bloomberg and countless other major publications. And it isn’t even the specialist sections that include coverage of technical issues such as compliance, FSA policy development, platform technology or our unique calendar of professional events. It’s also the unmistakable twist of humour that keeps them turning the pages.

IFAs are facing a new world which is changing not just because of a welter of regulatory reforms, both from London and from Brussels, but also because of the most challenging global environment we’ve had in half a century. IFA Magazine meets the need for information about this new world with equally challenging commentary, with good looks and good humour. Readers don’t browse our pages, they devour them.
