Alan Kohler

One of Australia's most respected journalists for over 52 years

Alan Kohler has been a financial journalist for 52 years, starting as a cadet on The Australian in 1970. He became Chanticleer columnist for the Australian Financial Review in 1979 and was appointed editor of that newspaper in 1985. He returned to writing the Chanticleer column in 1988 and after a brief period as strategist for stockbroker, James Capel Australia, he was appointed editor of The Age in 1992.

In 1995 he joined the ABC’s 7.30 Report as its economics and business correspondent, while also writing commentary and features for Fairfax newspapers, The Age, the Sydney Morning Herald and the Financial Review. In 2002 he moved from the 7.30 Report to presenting finance on ABC News.

In 2005 Alan Kohler created Eureka Report, a subscription newsletter for investors, and in 2007 added Business Spectator, a free online financial publication. These were sold to News Corporation in 2012 and Alan began writing columns for The Australian, as well as continuing to contribute finance reports to ABC News.

In 2016 Alan launched a new subscription newsletter for investors, called The Constant Investor, which was sold in 2018 to Investsmart Group, which had bought Eureka Report from News Corp.

Alan is now editor in chief of Eureka Report, finance presenter on ABC News and columnist for The New Daily.

All ICMI staff I dealt with were exceptionally efficient, collaborative and responsive to ensuring our talent was informed.

ICMI were flexible and accommodating, this year finding a speaker for your event that would work in a virtual setting was a challenge, but we ended up with a very successful event and the perfect speaker! Always patient and responsive to my calls or emails.

We were impacted by a COVID-19 outbreak in South Australia that threatened to de-rail our Northern Territory based event, but the ICMI logistics team made it happen when the window of opportunity arose.

ICMI listened to our needs and were very supportive with the change of plans with dealing with the pandemic. They gave great advice and helped us secure the right talent for our event.
