In 2008 it became part of the Financial Publishing division of the Financial Times, which includes other financial publications such as The Banker, Investors Chronicle, Money Management and fDi Magazine.

The FT re-launched Pensions Week as Pensions Expert in January 2014 to reflect its web-first editorial approach.

In April 2023 the Pensions Expert title was acquired by DG Publishing.
