Our June magazine marked a farewell of sorts. But, as the print edition comes to an end, we’re turning not just a page but a whole new chapter — and one with more pages than ever, except now they’re digital.
While the nostalgia is real (see our 40th anniversary retrospective if you haven’t yet), we’re firmly facing forward. From July, Money Marketing evolves into something faster, deeper and even more fun to edit.
So, what can you expect?
First, our team members aren’t going anywhere; they’re just getting more space. Dan Cooper opens the month by taking a closer look at agentic model design and the context-driven tools that could transform the pace of progress. Not your average beach read, but potentially game changing for the profession.
The format is changing, but the mission holds: sharp journalism, useful insight and a deep respect for the work you do
Meanwhile, Laura Purkess brings a sharp perspective to two thorny issues. In one piece, she dissects the fee dilemma facing advisers when clients simply can’t pay. In another, she unpicks what goal-based financial planning really looks like in the UK today — not just theory, but real-life application.
She also examines the new regulatory terrain in a post-Mansion House Accord world, asking whether advisers are being recast as formalised gatekeepers.
Elsewhere, Darius McQuaid goes digging in the AIM market to ask: what would it actually take to save it? Spoiler: it’s not a tweak here or a tax break there.
The Big Picture comes courtesy of Dan Cooper, who’s exploring the FCA’s “once-in-a-generation reforms” allowing directly authorised advice firms to offer ‘targeted support’ from early 2026 — something the whole sector is talking about.
And we’ve still got room for stories that are more personal, more human. In our MM Meets series, Momodou Musa Touray talks to Rose St Louis, protection director at Scottish Widows, while outgoing Standard Life CEO Andy Curran gives his final interview before retiring, reflecting on issues past and present.

And this is just the start. Every month online, we’ll bring you a fresh mix of investigative features, snappy commentary and audio reflections from the team. We’ll also be spotlighting areas such as adviser tech, inclusion and financial education; not as buzzwords, but as ongoing, practical conversations.
In other words, we’re not just continuing — we’re growing. The format is changing, but the mission holds: sharp journalism, useful insight and a deep respect for the work you do.
So, thank you for reading, and now for clicking too!
