Good morning VGIM Insiders,

Another paid subscriber-only email on Sunday? What’s going on? The answer is a long-term scheduling change.

I’ve decided to shift the distribution day for paid VGIM newsletters from Friday to Sunday.

The move helps me with my production schedule, it fits nicely with the ‘longer view’ that this paid content takes, and it gives each newsletter a bit more room to breathe in a busy media schedule.

I’ve also found out that plenty of my readers save VGIM for a quiet moment on the weekend, so why not lean into that, eh?

If you’d like to read this newsletter, get access to extra content, receive early access to VGIM events and score 10% off all VGIM stuff, including sponsorships, then you’ll need to sign up as an Insider below.
