Strategy Recap

Euromoney’s capital allocation decisions can be understood along two dimensions
Structure
We service fundamentally cyclical
- markets. Understanding which
point in the cycle they are in is fundamental to our capital allocation decisions. We characterise the business models of B2B information companies into three generations, which we call B2B Information 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0. Plotting the businesses along the axes supports our investment decisions, capital allocation and defines strategic priorities.
