Established in 1972, Futures magazine is the oldest and largest circulation publication serving the derivatives industry. The original concept began with Leon Rose and Mort Baratz, who were the creators of Managed Account Reports. Merrill Oster purchased the newsletter of Futures (formerly “Commodities”) and turned it into a magazine that covered mainly the commodity markets. Oster was a farmer, journalist and trader, so combined those talents to grow a business that was vertically integrated into the entire futures industry. In 1983, with the growth of financial futures contracts, the magazine’s name was changed to Futures. Highline Media purchased Futures Magazine Group in October 2005.
Since its start the magazine has grown to cover not only the futures markets, but options, forex and stock markets as well. It is distributed world wide and covers not only all markets, but all geographical centers, with correspondents both in Europe and Asia.
