Which financial advisors from FT’s top 100 list provide regular newsletters?

As investors, we all need access to the best financial news and updates to help us with our savings and investments such as a) keeping a grip on world events that may affect the market b) accessing financial advice from the world’s top experts c) being informed on changes to regulations and policies.

This article contains a result of research into which of the top financial advisors (as in those featured in the Financial Times “Top 100 Financial Advisers” list) put out regular newsletters. I homed in on just the firms with 25 or more CF30s (i.e. approved people with the regulatory permission
to perform the customer function of giving financial advice). The list that resulted is below. The companies with gross sales of retail investments and pensions, July 2018 to June 2019, greater than £1,000,000,000 are highlighted in bold.
