Claer Barrett is an award-winning journalist and broadcaster and speaker who aims to help everyone make the most of their money.

An Associate Editor at the Financial Times, she presents the FT’s weekly Money Clinic podcast, talking to listeners about their real-life financial dilemmas, and writes the Serious Money column in FT Weekend newspaper.

A consumer and personal finance journalist for over 15 years, Claer’s frank, no-frills approach to talking about money ensures she is a regular guest on TV and radio, including ITV’s Lorraine, where she’s on the sofa talking money every Wednesday morning, finance phone-ins on LBC and guest spots on BBC programmes including Watchdog, Rip Off Britain and You & Yours.

Prior to joining the Financial Times, Claer Barrett was the property correspondent for Investors Chronicle until she became managing editor of weekly industry magazine, Property Week. At the FT, she writes the weekly Serious Money column covering everything from saving money to the effects of Brexit on your holiday plans and hosts the Business Clinic videos. She is also a frequent commentator on radio and TV, talking about personal finance, consumer, and small business issues.

Her latest book What They Don’t Teach You About Money: Habits to Get You Unstuck and on the Road to Financial Freedom, will look at seven habits that unlock financial independence.

 

SPEAKING TOPICS

In her talks, Claer Barrett examines everything from the impact of financial markets on business, investment, and property, to the more personal economic affairs such as inheritance tax, pensions, and wealth management. As a former retail correspondent, Claer also looks into how consumerism has changed, the future of the high street, and the digitalisation of real estate and the financial services sector.

In applying a more human and sociological take on finance, Claer analyses the intersection between debt, finances, and mental health in the workplace. She examines its relation to womenomics (women’s financial issues), as well as how companies should embrace new ways of working to retain and support Generation X and Z staff.

In lighter moments, she also looks at some of the more unusual requests for investment advice she’s received from FT readers.

As well as keynote and after-dinner speeches, Clear is a skilled facilitator and host. She combines knowledge, enthusiasm, and humour to create a natural affinity with the audience and put panel members at ease.
