This week celebrates 25 years of MoneyWeek.

The magazine was founded by Jolyon Connell in November 2000 with Merryn Somerset Webb as the launch editor.

Its timing couldn't have been more apt, having launched just after the 2000 recession and years before the financial crash in 2008, it has been seeing readers through turbulent periods ever since. That’s 25 years of intelligence to help you build and maintain your wealth, and expert insight into investment opportunities.

MoneyWeek is popular for its brilliantly illustrated front covers – they’ve captured major events, sometimes even predicted outcomes, and often provided great humour.

Our first ever cover is featured below, though they look very different today with our brilliant illustrators Howard McWilliam and Adam Stower.

To celebrate our birthday, we picked 25 of our top covers and we would like you to vote for your favourite. Let us know which cover grabs you the most - vote now.

25 years – looking back

Watch our recent reunion with past and present MoneyWeek editors, with past and present editors. Merryn Somerset Webb, John Stepek, Cris Sholto Heaton and Andrew Van Sickle take a look back at what it takes to launch a financial magazine, the good times, the hard times and how MoneyWeek's covers called out key trends before the mainstream media, making and saving readers a great deal of money. Our best calls have included the gold bull market that began in 2001, the credit crunch leading to the banking crisis, and the recent return of inflation.
