Today’s spotlight is on FOCUS MONEY. Since 2000, this renowned magazine has been keeping readers up to date on the world of finance, providing investment tips, and giving advice on taxes, insurance and other topics. This year, FOCUS MONEY celebrates its 25th anniversary with a birthday issue – featuring exciting insights from long-standing associates as well as prominent business leaders – and hopefully with “a big party”, as Julia Gross (member of the editorial team) reveals in our brief questionnaire.
Fans of the finance and business magazine can look forward to a new feature: From May 2025, FOCUS MONEY will be published every Friday! Read on to find out which editorial highlights Julia Gross is particularly proud of, and what else is planned for the anniversary.
What is the brand essence of FOCUS MONEY?
“FOCUS MONEY is a modern finance magazine. We support our readers with high-quality journalism on relevant investment- and wealth-related topics. At the core: our expert weekly analyses of stocks, bonds, funds, and ETFs, as well as specific investment strategies – always against the backdrop of the latest news. All of this delivers real value, as do our special issues on topics such as taxes, law, investor protection, insurance, and consumer tests.”
What was your editorial highlight of recent months?
"I am particularly proud that, for every issue, we speak to well-known and influential fund managers and investment strategists. In interviews, these experts analyze the current financial markets for our readers, and provide tips on worthwhile investments. In addition, we often offer insights into the thoughts and strategies of board members at major German companies: BioNTech founders Uğur Şahin and Özlem Türeci, for example, or SAP CEO Christian Klein, or Oliver Zipse of BMW. Time and again, a real highlight for me is when our stock-market analyses reveal promising companies that neither I nor my colleagues – some with over 20 years’ experience – have heard of before. Especially, of course, if these tips then develop positively."
How will you celebrate the magazine’s 25th anniversary?
“I hope for a big party, of course! But seriously, when FOCUS MONEY was launched 25 years ago, we were one of many new magazines covering the optimistic outlook among Internet companies and the new market. Most of these competitors no longer exist, and some of the traditional big names on the newsstand are far less important than they once were. That’s why our anniversary is really something special, and we will be celebrating it all year. To kick things off, there will be a very special FOCUS MONEY issue featuring many associates and business celebrities from our first 25 years. Of course, we also invite our readers – long-term subscribers and newcomers alike – to have their say. Together with FOCUS MONEY, Germany’s “stock-market culture” has evolved quite a bit!”
