MoneyWeek, the UK’s best-selling financial magazine, is offering readers a six-week free trial of its weekly investment publication in partnership with SLMan, the men’s-lifestyle platform from SheerLuxe.com. The trial is available either in print or through the MoneyWeek app, giving new subscribers a no-commitment opportunity to test the magazine before paying a penny.
Subscription options and pricing
After the six free issues, readers can choose from three subscription tiers. The print-only option costs £42.99 every 13 issues (equivalent to £3.30 per week). The print-plus-digital bundle is £48.99 every 13 issues (£3.76 per week), and the digital-only plan is £32.99 every 13 issues (£2.53 per week). All subscriptions run on a quarterly billing cycle. Print and print-plus-digital subscribers receive the weekly print magazine by post. The print-plus-digital and digital tiers also include early access to the digital edition, the ability to listen to the MoneyWeek podcast and read the latest online articles via the app, and exclusive event discounts. Every plan can be paused or cancelled at any time, and MoneyWeek backs the offer with a full money-back guarantee: if a subscriber is not satisfied they may cancel and receive a full refund on any unmailed issues within 30 days. An annual subscription comprises 52 issues, although MoneyWeek publishes four extended issues each year, each of which counts as two issues toward the total.
What readers get inside each issue
MoneyWeek pitches itself as a guide that helps readers “understand what really matters when it comes to your finances,” offering expert advice to help decide what to pursue and what to ignore. The magazine’s tagline, “MAKE IT, KEEP IT, SPEND IT,” reflects its ambition to help readers maximise their money, whether they are diversifying a portfolio, planning a pension, or simply trying to make more informed financial decisions.
Each weekly issue covers markets, with a round‑up of the biggest stories moving global financial markets, and shares, providing a weekly digest of the most useful share tips from the business pages. There is also a deep‑dive analysis section exploring the latest trends and what they mean for personal finances, alongside a politics and economics overview that examines the global political stories with the most significant economic impact. Pensions are a regular feature, keeping readers up to date with rule changes and news that could affect their retirement nest‑egg, and the housing section offers regular analysis of house‑price movements both in the UK and around the world.
The publication prides itself on presenting financial concepts in plain, jargon‑free English and on prioritising the interests of private investors over those of the financial‑services industry. Recent articles have examined the revival of the space race, the challenges facing British business, the future of the US dollar, and pioneers in robotic surgery. The magazine has also published analysis of pension‑withdrawal strategies, the valuation of SpaceX, and the potential of China as a financial powerhouse. UK small‑cap stocks such as MONY Group, Moonpig and Victorian Plumbing feature regularly, and the magazine has offered guidance on identifying “quality stocks” based on profitability, stability and financial strength, citing Unilever, Diageo, Microsoft and Mastercard as examples. Other recent coverage has addressed the evolving UK financial‑advice landscape, including proposed FCA changes to simplified advice rules, and has warned readers about investment scams, detailing common tactics and how to avoid them.
Editorial leadership and readership
MoneyWeek was founded by Jolyon Connell in November 2000, initially in association with Dennis Publishing. It was acquired by Dennis Publishing in 2017 and became part of Future Plc in 2020. Andrew Van Sickle has been editor of the magazine since 2018; he has a background in geography and international relations and has been involved with the publication since its launch. Kalpana Fitzpatrick edits MoneyWeek.com and the newsletters and is a regular media guest on financial matters. The magazine’s website attracts more than one million unique users per month. As of October 2025, total circulation stood at 43,000, with 18,832 print copies and 24,174 digital subscriptions; roughly half of the digital circulation comes through “all‑you‑can‑read” services such as Apple News+. The typical reader is an individual investor who is “cash rich and time poor.” Historically, 89% of readers were male, aged between 35 and 64, with more than 17% at board‑director level.
What subscribers say
MoneyWeek’s readers describe the magazine as a trusted resource. One subscriber called it “a trusted guide into finance” that “has certainly helped me to grow my wealth.” Another praised the “clear, concise analysis of financial and economic news, which helps me stay informed without being overwhelmed.” A third reader said that “MoneyWeek breaks down complex financial topics into actionable insights without oversimplifying them.”
