Markets may be a random walk for some, but that hasn't been my experience
Random Walk ?

 

 

Our founder and CEO, Nick Dewhirst has spent more that a quarter of a century experience in the City advising European institutional investors and individuals on foreign markets. At different stages he has been a specialist in the British stock market, mining shares, United States and Continental Europe, mainly Germany, but also Central Europe and smaller companies generally. While employed at a succession of leading investment banks (See below) he has performed many front-line roles including fund management for private clients, institutional equity sales, country analysis, investment strategy and the construction of stock market indexes. His most recent positions were for Dresdner Bank as Head of Equity Sales, London and with Kleinwort Benson as European SmallCap Coordinator. In past years Nick has been rated as one of the top analysts on Continental European shares in several surveys of British institutional investors (See below ). He speaks German well and French badly. flag_germany.gif (1013 bytes) Anlageberatung fuer internationale Aktienmaerkte und Auslandsaktien auf Deutsch flag_france.gif (1191 bytes) Français

Says Nick, "I have been very lucky, not just to live in exciting times, but also to have been where the action was - often, early and in the thick of it. I survived the worst post-war bear market in the developed world, that in England when shares fell 90% in real terms within two years in the early Seventies, specialised in gold when it was hot, tried my hand at futures when the pits in Chicago were new, broked US stocks through the fabulous Eighties, "discovered" Europe for myself before institutional investors arrived in 1983, specialised on German shares after the Wall fell and moved into Eastern Europe ahead of the crowd. That makes around two thirds of global stock market capitalisation which I have learnt from the bottom-up. Inflation and disinflation, booms and busts I have advised investors through them all. What have I learnt ? The markets may be a random walk for some, but that has not been my experience - and I can show you. I can't trade to save my life, but when it comes to long-term investment, that's my game."
