John Authers Biography

John Authers is a Senior Editor and Opinion Columnist for Bloomberg News where he writes a daily column and creates a newsletter for Bloomberg Opinion. Previously, John was at the Financial Times' for 29 years. As Chief Investment Columnist, he has long been one of the most influential economic journalists in the world, editing the "Lex" column and authoring the "Short View" and "Long View" columns. In addition to the three full-length columns on finance, investing, and markets he writes each week, John keeps himself at the vanguard of new media, offering FT economic analysis via video in his daily “Authers’ Note” segment. The lessons of this remarkable career have come to fruition in two hard-hitting books about the instability of current markets: The Fearful Rise of Markets and now Europe's Financial Crisis.

These two books together illuminate the fragile state of the modern global economy. The Fearful Rise of Markets exposes how the previously disconnected markets of stocks, bonds and commodities became locked together — and crashed together. Here John established himself as a trenchant critic of the contemporary money management industry, identifying the way fund managers operate and charge for their work as a main driver of the crisis. Europe's Financial Crisis was a sequel, addressing the practical consequences of the crash for Europe and showing that any way out of the euro’s crisis would involve deep economic pain for Europe — and create problems around the world. Taken together, the books mark John out as one of most trusted navigators of the globalised financial world.

Mr. Authers appears frequently on television and radio. A regular guest host on CNBC, he has also appeared on the BBC, CNN, MSNBC, NPR and PBS. His work as a journalist has been widely recognised; in 2010, he was named Senior Journalist of the Year by the Wincott Foundation, the premier award for UK financial journalists. He has also twice been named the UK’s investment journalist of the year, while in the US, his videos have twice been honoured at the Society of American Business Editors and Writers' Best in Business awards. He is also the co-author of The Victim's Fortune, an investigative account of the financial consequences of the Holocaust.

John Authers Speaking Topics

  • Value Investing

    An alumnus of the Columbia Business School class in Value Investing which was started by Benjamin Graham and taken by Warren Buffett, John can enthusiastically address the issues surrounding value investing. It appears to have performed worse since the crisis — but, as he argues, it is still the best bet for the long term.

  • Banking Regulation and its Flaws

    Why did the crisis happen? Because, in large part, banks and investment companies were inadequately regulated. Has anything been done to fix this? From the Volcker Rule through Basel IIII to proposals to bring back Glass-Steagall, John has had a front-row seat, frequently inveighing in columns against the weakness of the re-regulation that followed the crisis.

  • Europe’s Financial Crisis

    John returned to London just as the eurozone sovereign debt crisis broke out in 2010, and covered it both as head of “Lex" and as a senior investment columnist. He has presented on the subject in some of the most severely hit crisis countries, including Spain, Portugal and Italy, and can provide both an overview and detailed knowledge from the ground.

  • The Global Financial Crisis

    As the FT’s principal markets commentator 2007 to 2009, John was based in New York throughout the crisis, just blocks away from Lehman Brothers’ head office. The author of The Fearful Rise of Markets, a well-reviewed book on the crash, he can speak authoritatively on the causes of the crisis — and whether the world has really recovered from it.

  • Emerging Markets (with special focus on Latin America and Mexico)

    John ran the FT’s Mexico and Central America bureau for four years and is an expert in the region. With experience presenting on the region to both Latin American and European or North American audiences, he is the ideal speaker on the subject whatever the audience’s own level of knowledge.

  • Investment Strategy

    Bonds or stocks? Active or Passive? Is there any role for gold in a portfolio? Is it worth buying stocks and holding for the long-term, or sticking with them? Do hedge funds make sense? What are the risks of another crash and how can we protect against it? John can illuminate all of these central issues for investors.
