Tribute to Andy Burt

Tribute to Andy Burt
Andy Burt
The former managing editor of InvestmentNews was the epitome of decency and integrity.
JAN 09, 2026

Everyone at InvestmentNews was shocked and saddened by the passing of our former managing editor Andy Burt on Christmas Eve.

Andy had only recently left InvestmentNews for a new opportunity at Clarion Events. He was dedicated, respected and a great colleague. Everyone who met him will know, however, that what stood out more than anything was his decency, integrity and thoughtfulness. In short, he was a standup guy and will be missed.

Our thoughts and condolences are with his family and friends at this incredibly difficult time.

If you wish to contribute, a GoFundMe page has been set up to support Andy’s family, while his friends have set up a legacy site where people can share memories of him.
