Hi. This is just an opinion and I might well be wrong, but I just don’t think going with smaller outfits who cite low fees (but actually have lots of layers in practice) is a good approach.

Good investing is about diversification, picking decent companies, sticking the course and not trying to be flash. I would also tend to back larger companies with good systems, compliance and security, solid and robust research teams and strong governance. They might employ the ‘next investing genius’, but I don’t really think this exists – and the best investment outfits probably sound less exciting but will be solid and safe, which matters.

Founder & CEO, Boring Money

I’ve worked in investment markets for over 20 years. I started out at Merrill Lynch Investment Management and worked at a few big names before setting up my first business in 2008.

I like words and ideas more than numbers. I like investing because at the end of the day it’s about using our money to fund innovation and growth. That’s more fun than any graph!

I like explaining things and ‘bullshit-bashing’. Away from work I like travelling, reading, wine, dinghy sailing, swimming in the sea and running.

I am not very good at sitting still and a manicure is my idea of hell. I have 2 amazing kids and a dog of little brain. Like most people, I'm currently craving a good beach holiday and the smell of sun tan lotion!
