Robin Wigglesworth

Alphaville Editor

Robin Wigglesworth is the editor of Alphaville, the FT's financial blog. From Oslo, Norway he leads a team of three other writers in London and New York that dig into anything deeply nerdy or plain delightful that they spot in markets, business or the global economy.

Previously, Robin was the FT's global finance correspondent, US markets editor, deputy head of fastFT, capital markets correspondent, and Gulf correspondent. He joined the FT from Bloomberg News in 2008, where he covered Nordic economics.

He is also the author of Trillions, a book on the past, present and future of passive investing and how it is reshaping financial markets, published by Penguin Random House in 2021.
