Our editorial mission is to see the present more clearly and to squint into the future more imaginatively. Twenty-four times a year, we strive to uncover good ideas and to expose bad ones. To identify the next important event in markets is the main prize. We try hard to win it, and sometimes—as with the 2008 crash in mortgages or the 2009 recovery in credit or the 2012-13 upturn in house prices—we succeed. In every 12-page issue, we present long and short investment candidates in a range of asset classes--equities, fixed income and real-estate to name a few—as well as astute observations on interest rates, monetary policy, the credit markets and currencies. All of this we frame in the context of financial history and express in jargon-free English. You will notice that, while many financial publications these days write down to their readers, we write up. Reading Grant’s—really reading it—you will find you ask better questions, read better books, and keep company with a better class of investment.
