26 years in
financial markets.
Now focused on you.

The story

A career built in markets.
An education built for people outside them.

My passion for financial markets began in the 1990s. During my time at university, I developed a strong desire to understand how markets worked — not just in theory, but in practice. That curiosity has never left me.

After graduating, I built my career at the institutional end of the industry, including practice at ABN AMRO Morgans. Over more than two decades I traded ASX stocks, futures, currencies, commodities, warrants, and options across multiple market cycles — navigating both the wins and the losses that shape any serious career in markets.

In 2011 I founded JMP Strategic Investments, my own boutique advisory firm. It gave me the freedom to focus on what I believed mattered most — putting clients first, without the conflicts that are endemic to institutional broking.

What I kept seeing, both inside institutions and in my own practice, was the same problem. Investors and traders rarely lacked information. They lacked a structured way to make decisions — a framework for determining what mattered, what didn't, and when capital should or should not be committed.

That observation became the foundation for the work I do today. Across long-term investing, active markets and investment research, the objective remains the same: replace opinion and noise with structure, valuation, risk discipline and repeatable decision-making.

What I believe

Investors and traders rarely suffer from a lack of information. The harder problem is knowing what matters, what does not, and when capital should or should not be committed. I believe good decisions begin with structure: a documented process, clear evidence, defined risk and rules that exist before the pressure of the outcome.

That philosophy sits behind all of my work — long-term wealth education, active trading, systematic market research and value investing. Different objectives, but the same standard: structure before opinion.
