Contribute to FT Asia Trading: Write With Precision, Collaborate for Growth
FT Asia Trading invites rigorous financial thinkers, analytic writers, and experienced market observers to contribute to a platform committed to clarity, discipline, and strategy. Founded by Zyvaris Tornhaven, our mission is to provide accurate, actionable, and timely content on global finance, with a specialized lens on Asian markets. From our headquarters at 212 Palmer Road, Westerville, Ohio, we operate from 9 AM to 5 PM, shaping thought leadership within tightly focused financial sectors. Learn more about our foundation through Our Story.
This is a call to contributors—not for opinions, but for structured thinking. FT Asia Trading does not trade in hype or speculation. Our platform publishes concise, reasoned insights supported by data, historical precedent, and trend interpretation accessible to serious readers and global investors. Explore our primary offerings at FT Asia Trading.
Our Editorial Focus
Writers selected for collaboration will contribute to the following content verticals:
- Financial Pulse: Assessments of economic shifts, interest rates, monetary policy moves, and cross-border financial patterns.
- Trading Strategies: Methodical exploration of technical setups, algorithmic modeling, and evidence-based entry/exit frameworks.
- Global Investment Insights: Geographic diversification, risk outlooks, sector returns, and fund migration patterns.
- Asia-Centric Market Analyses: Focused reviews of Shanghai, Tokyo, SGX, and emerging Southeast Asian exchanges.
- Portfolio Optimization: Asset allocations, model portfolios, risk mitigation heuristics.
- Expert Breakdowns: Spot evaluations backed by strong interpretive frameworks, regulatory perspectives, and volatility mapping.
Writers must be prepared to back assertions with empirical logic and link current financial narratives to technical foundations. Excessively casual content is dismissed. Publication is merit-based, guided by the values outlined in our Fair Standards.
Contributor Criteria
- Writers with a background in finance, economics, or geopolitics preferred.
- Data-literate contributors who can graph or cite sources cleanly.
- Submissions that avoid redundancy, speculation-heavy rhetoric, or anecdotal framing.
- Insistence on clarity, conciseness, and accessible formatting—short sentences, bold headings (when appropriate), and coherent flow.
- Familiarity with capital markets across Asia is a distinct advantage.
If contributors lack professional financial experience but demonstrate highly structured thinking or advanced modeling skill, proposals are still considered. Every collaborator must review our Growth Partner Commitment before applying.
Submission Procedure
Writers seeking publication must follow the guidelines precisely:
- Submit article proposals, abstracts, or drafts to [email protected]. You may email us directly to initiate collaboration.
- Preferred word count between 800 and 1,200 words. Exception allowed only for tactical charts + blended commentary.
- Include a brief bio with publications, credentials, and disclosure of any financial positions in discussed assets.
- Expect acknowledgment or revision feedback within 5 business days.
- Do not inquire via social channels. Use verified communication channels only.
Your submission must focus on relevant niches aligned with our platform’s mission. To better calibrate your perspective, examine our latest analyses or familiarize yourself with our founder’s expectations via the Founder Profile.
Benefits of Collaboration
While FT Asia Trading is not a generalist publication, we are committed to sustaining high-value engagements for writers who demonstrably elevate discourse. Benefits include:
- Editorial precision, exposure to a highly targeted investor readership
- Access to long-term analytics frameworks shaped by institutional standards
- Collaboration through scheduled review sessions and alignment checks
- Opportunities for recurring content briefs for compliant contributors

Topics Currently in Priority Queue
Writers interested in pitching are encouraged to address any of the following topics:
- Central Bank currency corridor responses to bilateral trade-economy convergence (Asia–EU)
- 2024 commodity volatility mapping and hedge construction (in the context of strategic reserves)
- Cross-border capital outflow trends in rising rate regimes—case study format preferred
- AI-driven arbitrage modeling on regional index ETFs
- Demographic market exposure decay and sovereign debt positioning
Writers unsure of topic alignment should study the narrative sophistication of previously published articles through our Expert Breakdowns series and familiarize themselves with concurrent intelligence through our Investment Insights.
What FT Asia Trading Is Not
We do not accept:
- Unsourced opinion pieces or emotionally charged forecasts
- Product placement, brand-driven editorials, or affiliate-style content
- Personal narratives lacking relevance to capital market shifts
- Copy-pasted reports or AI-generated filler with no interpretive value
Our platform is shaped for professionals, institutions, and pragmatic thinkers competing at a global scale. Writers unable to operate within these boundaries should explore more flexible platforms or begin with our Cultural Story Database for less technical entries and regional lenses.
A Standard of Contribution
Every accepted submission will be reviewed against our content code detailed in Fair Standards. Writers who demonstrate low variability in precision, engagement metrics, or analytical clarity over time may be invited to closed-loop insider forums and eligible for long-form syndication support. Inquiries about collaborative potential may be initiated at [email protected].
