Global Trading reaches around 100,000 readers quarterly through daily news updates, targeted weekly newsletters, thematic insights, multimedia channels and regular deep-dive research projects, as well as a quarterly print magazine (also available online) which reaches a wide global audience and is to be found on coffee tables across the community. Global Trading also supports the prestigious Markets Choice and Women in Finance Awards programmes, run by parent company Markets Media, which provide a platform for industry leaders to be recognised in markets around the world.

Global Trading has a strong presence at industry events, where managing editor Laurie McAughtry and team provide comprehensive and market-leading multi-channel content coverage; as well as moderating, chairing and hosting roles.

HISTORY

Formed in 2024 through the consolidation of Markets Media sister titles BEST EXECUTION and FIX GLOBAL, Global Trading has a strong pedigree in the industry, with roots reaching back well over a decade and tracing the evolution of electronic trading through its founding publications. With FIX Global Trading bringing a wealth of electronic trading insight and Best Execution providing the regulatory and market structure angle, the two titles pair perfectly to create a world-leading resource for the trading industry. 

PARTNERS

Global Trading is proud to be the official publication of the FIX Trading Community.

We also partner with Worldwide Business Research (WBR) on events including TradeTech, Equities Leaders Summit, Fixed Income Leaders and InvestOps, as well as partnering with The Hive on its Capital Markets Exchange platform.
