Financial PlanningI have been a reader of Financial Planning magazine for nearly two years and find it’s a pretty good source for financial information. Actually, it’s one of two magazines that I currently subscribe to (the other one is Kiplinger’s Personal Finance, but I won’t renew it when the subscription expires in a couple of months).

I subscribed to the free magazine from TradePub in the summer of 2006 and received the periodic a few months later. Because the intended audience of the magazine is professionals in the financial industry, a large portion of the contents in each issue covers practical topics that are concerned by fund managers and financial advisors, such as practices and client relationship, etc. For this part, I don’t usually care too much because I am not in that industry. The part that I, an amateur who happens to like finance, enjoy the most is the section called The Portfolio, where issues in the areas of diversification, asset allocation, and risk and rewards are discussed. These articles are closer to me, though I only manage my own portfolio :) And the magazine also runs special reports with in-depth coverage of specific topics (for example, the April issue featured Healthcare & Retirement). After reading and enjoying the magazine for some time, I started to apply what I read into my writing. A few times in the past, I have used materials from the magazine in my posts (one post discussed mutual fund costs and one on global REIT). In my opinion, Financial Planning is worth a subscription.

Recently, I picked up two more magazines from TradePub, Global Finance and Trader. to help me build my knowledge in investing in foreign markets and trading stocks. I haven’t received any of them yet, so I don’t know if they are any good. Even if they are not as good as Financial Planning, I won’t complain too much because they’re free :)

In addition to Finance, TradePub also offers free publications in other areas such as Computers, Engineering, Healthcare, and Insurance. If you are interested, take a look at the complete list of free magazines and whitepapers. I am sure you can find one you like. Of course, you have to meet certain requirements to become a subscriber ;)

Financial planning and investing in the foreign markets are two different subjects. You financial planning will tell you what money you have to invest in riskier type of investments, foreign investment is a higher risk investment.
