BREAKING: I'm out of the garden and into my #newjob at @ebiPortfolios, where I'm joining as Assistant Portfolio Manager. Helping run a Β£5.8bn book of evidence-based, systematic model portfolios for UK financial advisers.
Good long-term investing comes down to getting the infrastructure, philosophy and strategic allocation right. ebi takes that work seriously. Glad to be part of it.
Looking back, my career has been built on the shoulders of generous giants: leaders who let me pivot when the right next thing wasn't the obvious next thing. From photojournalist to finance journalist to analyst to asset manager, thank you for making the improbable arc possible.
@bullionsupermkt That's it though, isn't it? You either find a true craftsman who commands an extreme premium, or you get some hack that overcharges and takes you for a ride. The middle ground of competent professionals is extremely small.
Why is finding a good auto mechanic so hard?
I literally know more Fed members who can deadlift 365lbs on their 67th birthdays than I do reliable mechanics in the Southeast of England.
