The Financial Times, popularly known as FT, is one of the leading sources of information and news headlines on business, investment and other economy-related news. Based in London, UK, it was founded in January 1888 under the name of London Financial Guide and renamed in February of the same year as Financial Times (FT). In 1893, FT became a pink paper, thus distinguished from its rival newspaper Financial News. It was on 13th May, 1995 that FT first had its online presence, in and through, its first site FT.com. Today, the FT Group, owned by Pearson plc, an international media group, has grown to include several business units.
