Investing.com (via Yahoo Finance)
market-oriented, minimal political bias
Background
Investing.com was founded in 2007 by Israeli entrepreneur Dror Efrat and co-founders under the name Forexpros, initially targeting the foreign-exchange trading audience. In December 2012, the company purchased the Investing.com domain for $2.45 million and rebranded, broadening its scope to cover global equities, commodities, bonds, and cryptocurrencies. By the mid-2010s it had grown into one of the world's most-visited financial data sites, attracting hundreds of millions of monthly users. In 2021 Joffre Capital, a Hong Kong-based technology buyout fund, acquired the platform for $500 million; Ding'an Fei was appointed chairman. Post-acquisition growth included buying financial analytics firm Finbox (2021), real-time news service StreetInsider.com (2023), and AI investing-assistant Stonki (2026). The outlet publishes a mix of market data, news sourced from wire services such as Reuters and Bloomberg, and opinion columns by individual analysts and bloggers. Media Bias/Fact Check rates it 'Least Biased' editorially but 'Mixed' for factual reporting, citing limited ownership transparency and author credibility concerns. Investing.com content is widely syndicated, including through Yahoo Finance, where articles from Investing.com staff appear alongside content from other financial news providers.
