On Wall Street Audience Surges To Record

<i>Growth follows introduction of new website user experience; additional enhancements planned for 2017</i>

NEW YORK, NY (December 1, 2016) On Wall Street – the SourceMedia brand serving the elite community of advisers at wirehouses and regional broker-dealers – will enter 2017 with its online audience at a record high.

Average monthly visitors to the brand’s website jumped 43% to 92,000 for the first 10 months of 2016 compared to the same period in 2014. In addition, subscribers to On Wall Street’s newsletters surged 71% to 286,000 during that time, and site engagement increased 36%.

“We enter 2017 in a position of great strength, with an unwavering commitment to asking the smart, tough, relevant questions that illuminate the unique challenges facing the wealth management industry,” said Scott Wenger, the group editorial director overseeing SourceMedia’s investment adviser brands. “As they have for 26 years, brokerage advisers can continue to count on On Wall Street to analyze the industry’s most powerful drivers of change – and to deliver those insights wherever and however the community demands.”

On Wall Street is the only media brand focused solely on the wirehouses and regional broker-dealers, a group of investment advisers that control more investor assets than any other category of wealth managers. As these advisers transition to digital and mobile workflows and communications, On Wall Street will adopt an all-digital model next month, ending publication of its monthly print magazine and deploying new engagement technologies to enhance discovery of relevant content. Over the past three years, On Wall Street has seen tremendous digital readership growth, with a substantial majority of print subscribers migrating to its digital platform. Print-only subscribers now comprise less than 15% of the brand’s reach.

On Wall Street is also pleased to announce the introduction of several new editorial features next year, including dedicated special reports showcasing SourceMedia Research and a series of innovative training videos. Look for more information on these improvements in future announcements.

On Wall Street introduced its new website and digital publishing platform in April, incorporating new products and tools, an improved mobile user experience, and other features designed to integrate content feeds, events and other services into readers’ workflow.
