About Me
I was first introduced to the stock market by my late grand father. He spent his days reading company reports, chatting to his investing buddies and leafing through the FT. An accountant by trade, he would spend hours analysing figures, painstakingly recording them into his little black accounting books. These were the days before the internet, when information wasn't so easy to obtain. I often think how he would love to be alive today, where information is readily available with a click of a mouse.
I made my first investment in the stock market the year I left University in 2000. In January 2019, I took the decision to concentrate on managing my portfolio full time. I haven't looked back since. I also help my father run the family portfolios, most of which my grand father had set up in the early 1980's. As a family we owe Grandpa a massive debt of gratitude for this. He taught us the magic power of compounding, which over time has helped us create some impressive returns. I have a real passion for investing and love the daily conference calls I have with Dad where we discuss the markets and share ideas.
Over the years, I have benefited immensely from other private investors who have been kind enough to share their stock ideas and company research online. With this in mind, I decided to set up this website as a platform to share some of my own research. My main focus is on UK small cap stocks. I feel this is where retail investors have an edge, since its an area of the market that is often mispriced due to it being largely overlooked by the City
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for visiting my website and wish you good luck on your investing journey. All the best,
