History
Pensions Expert was originally launched by FT Magazines as Pensions Week in January 1997. Its launch editor was Andrew Michael, former editor of headlinemoney. It was the first news-led title to cover the UK pensions industry.
In 2008 it became part of the Financial Publishing division of the Financial Times, which includes other financial publications such as The Banker, Investors Chronicle, Money Management and fDi Magazine.
The FT re-launched Pensions Week as Pensions Expert in January 2014 to reflect its web-first editorial approach.
