Conde Nast Portfolio: A Very Readable New Magazine

Conde Nast Portfolio is a new magazine with a flair for overseeing financial market movers in a cosmopolitan way. If you want to browse what's happening in technology, you can. If you want to see what the latest literati have to say about the state of our government, you can. If you want "people" style coverage like Vanity fair of the recent investors shenanigans and deals in the works, try Conde Nast Portfolio. A portfolio is usually a financial outlay across various types of investments. But it can also be a case like container for various artistic explorations.

The Portfolio is much more readable too in that its financial markets and upper echelon finance topics are the ones most people would like to know more about in an accessible manner. Conde Nast Portfolio is very much like Conde Nast Traveler except instead of travel the magazine focuses on investments and money market topics. Conde Nast is the company that publishes Vogue and Vanity Fair, and many other hallmark magazines.

Conde Nast Portfolio for September features many interesting topics and new inventions that investors should be aware of. For those who look askance at the dentist's selection of glossy gossip mags, take a step up. Portfolio tells about inside movings and shakings with VIP access to the world of finance, nightlife, art and politics. The tech sector covers not just new business deals but what makes the insiders invest here and not there.

Conde Nast Portfolio is much easier to read than Money, inc, or Newsweek, and it may have something to do with the elegant black and white design. It's a blessed relief from the bright red and blue graphics of many business magazines like Money and Forbes. Reading about business can be fun and instructive.
Conde Nast Portfolio is also less dense than Barron's or even the Wall Street Journal. The Portfolio reader can make sense of what they are reading without a master's degree in finance or business administration. The economics are clear, and the personalities are refreshing.
