Funds Reporter

Join to apply for the Funds Reporter role at Morningstar

Morningstar seeks an experienced financial journalist for the position of mutual funds and exchange‑traded funds reporter on our European editorial team, with a mandate to cover news and trends in the asset management industry and their products across Europe.

Morningstar is a global leader in mutual fund and ETF data and analysis. The editorial team publishes news, research, data visualisations, videos and podcasts on financial markets and investing, operating as an independent newsroom separate from research departments.

The successful candidate will leverage Morningstar’s deep resources to deliver engaging articles that help investors and advisors navigate performance trends and new fund or ETF offerings. Your stories will be heavily followed by industry professionals.

The role requires writing both original content and local‑language adaptations of Morningstar stories. Fluency in Dutch or French is required; additional fluency in Italian, Spanish or German is a plus. Responsibilities include reviewing translations of articles by other reporters for publishing on websites aimed at readers in either of those languages.

We are looking for a reporter who can combine a lively, engaging writing style with a proven ability to make complex subjects accessible to a broad audience, from retail investors and pension savers to financial advisers and institutional investors.

The successful candidate will possess a sound understanding of financial markets and strong news judgment, the ability to crunch numbers into news‑usable facts, build and leverage a strong network in the funds industry, and engage in thought leadership on fund and ETF trends.

• Publish on average two articles a week, ranging from short takes to longer deep dives on key trends across mutual funds and ETFs.
• Develop a strong network of expert commentators and asset‑management industry sources.
• Build narratives around key investing trends, staying ahead of the conversation on shifting flows, performance patterns and strategies, as well as exciting product launches.
• Regionalise and translate stories produced by teammates in other bureaus for Morningstar websites in France or the Netherlands.

• A passion for writing about investing and financial markets, with 3+ years covering investing and markets as a journalist, ideally focused on asset managers and funds.
• Strong news judgement for identifying subjects for articles.
• Demonstrated writing skills.
• Proven ability to write on deadline and for same‑day turnaround.
• At least a C1‑equivalent command in both writing and speech in Dutch or French.
• Fluency in Italian, Spanish or German is a plus.
• Curious, creative thinker with a collaborative approach to producing commentary and storytelling.
• Demonstrated comfort with Excel and learning new databases and other tools.

Morningstar’s hybrid work environment allows collaboration in‑person each week, with four days in‑office per week. A range of other benefits are available to enhance flexibility as needs change. No matter where you are, you’ll have tools and resources to engage meaningfully with our global colleagues.
