The Financial Times (FT) has launched the first in a series of online financial news services for Europe.

Ignites Europe – aimed at workers in the European cross-border fund industry – has been launched by online news organisation Money-Media, which was bought by the FT in January.

The service is an email newsletter featuring 10-12 stories and mixing both original and aggregated content.

The paid-for newsletter expands the title outside of the USA, where it has been published for 10 years.
