Diary of a High Net Worth Investor Graham Rowan

My guest today spent over 30 years as a fund manager with organisations like Investec and Hambro and has always managed to combine that role with writing about investing for a wider audience. He has written for the Daily and Sunday Telegraph and the Times, but is perhaps best known for his frequent articles in Money Week, Britain’s best selling financial magazine. He keeps his hand in as a non executive director at the Ecofin Global Infrastructure and Utilities Trust and the Gore St Energy St...

My guest today is a former Vice President of ABN Amro who has carved out a niche as one of the UK’s leading experts on investing in gold. Money Week magazine asked him to produce their Metals & Miners newsletter while he then worked with the legendary US investor Jim Rickards to set up the Gold Speculator service. He’s a regular speaker at industry events and is often interviewed in the press and on TV whenever gold becomes flavour of the month as it very much seems to be at the moment. H...

My guest today may be the person for whom the word polymath was invented. He’s an author, a comedian, a TV presenter, a voiceover artist and an expert on precious metals and crypto currencies where his articles can be read in almost every issue of Money Week magazine. He also publishes the Flying Frisby on substack, an investment bulletin read by over 5,000 people in 107 countries. He even made the hit parade with his pro Brexit song 17 million F-Offs. His name is Dominic Frisby

My guest today mirrored my own career path in providing billing systems for telecoms companies before joining the board of a silicon valley CRM software company for six years. His exit from that company has enabled him to pursue his passion, which is promoting the philosophy and ideas of one of my favourite authors, Ayn Rand. In 2012 he co-founded the Ayn Rand Centre in Israel and in 2018 became President and CEO of the main Ayn Rand Institute in America. He found a video of mine on Youtube w...

My guest today is a former officer in the Grenadier Guards who then went into the city and started a 25 year career in fund management. From 1998 to 2015 he was Head of Absolute Return at HSBC Global Asset Management with $3bn under management. He was then Chief Investment Officer at Newscape until 2018 before heading up the Multi Asset team at Atlantic House Fund Management where his fund ranked 1st out of 47 in its sector. In 2020 he left to found Bytetree, a research and asset management c...

I find it easy to empathise with my guest today because he had a long and successful corporate career with multinationals before redundancy forced him to turn his hobby into a business. For me it was a career in IT followed by a move into alternative investments. For him, board level roles with major distillers and packaging companies followed by a move into full time property investment. He now owns over 100 properties valued in the multi-millions and shares a lifetime of property experience...
