Shares is the leading weekly publication for stock market professionals and private investors and as such is read weekly by thousands of analysts, fund managers, stockbrokers, company directors and private investors. The Shares team of expert writers are highly regarded in the City and their comment frequently influences the market’s view of individual companies and their underlying share price. The magazine’s easy-to-read style and depth of analysis has made it the indispensable weekly read for those actively investing in the UK stock market today.

Since its launch in 1999 Shares has developed a strong following from those who trade regularly on the stock market. With the unveiling of a new look in April 2008 the magazine has now broadened its coverage and introduced additional editorial features in order to extend its readership within the stock market community – particularly company senior executives, stockbrokers, fund managers and analysts.

Published every Thursday, the title is sold in 650 WH Smith outlets – including all the High Street stores and most airports and mainline railway stations. Shares is also available at leading supermarkets including the 200 largest Tesco supermarkets. Shares can be purchased in other retail newsagent groups and a large range of small independent shops as well as being available on subscription. The magazine is also distributed on airlines for business travellers through BMI (flights and lounges), Lufthansa (flights and lounges) and Virgin (lounges).
