Thomson Reuters is launching an “Insider” video platform for traders, research analysts, banks and wealth managers. ClearView, publisher of WealthBriefing, WealthBriefingAsia and Family Wealth Report - will also provide content for this service.

The information services group has already signed up 150 external video providers, including Deutsche Bank, JPMorgan and UBS. Insider is part of a $1 billion investment at Thomson Reuters.

So far, WealthBriefing's editor, Tom Burroughes - also group editor for the other news websites - has talked on Insider about issues such as mergers and acquisitions in wealth management, recruitment, hedge funds and client use of “in-house” financial products.

This publication is delighted at the challenge of providing content for one for the world's most highly regarded news services and considers this venture provides an ideal chance to inform a broad audience. It also considers Thomson Reuters' partnership to be a clear demonstration of how WealthBriefing is now regarded as one of the premier wealth management news and business intelligence services.
