About Us

The Alpha Pages was formed by media and alternative investment industry veterans Kristin Fox and Jeff Joseph to create the ultimate global information network for alternative investment issuers, managers and investors. In 2013 The Alpha Pages acquired the foundation for this network—40-year old Futures Magazine, Futuresmag.com and ResourceInvestor.com.

Futuresmag.com provides information and trading strategies for all of the derivatives markets—commodities, stock indexes, ETFs, exchanged-traded or OTC—to help readers make money.

The essential market news for traders--without the noise.
