FINANCIAL MARKETS
It was
Peter’s relentless need to understand and manage risk on increasing scales
that led him to turn his attention to financial markets. For all their scale
and relative efficiency, the barriers to entry revolved more around
comprehension. Dominated as it is by professionals, market dynamics, and its
own terminology, a chance purchase of a book about Warren Buffett, whilst on
a business trip to the United States, helped transform his thinking and
resonated with his own still formative principles of risk.
Peter
went on to transform his own financial profile by adopting this long term
‘value investor’ approach and also the methodology and mindset of his
mentor. It is a set of principles that are reinforced by Peter’s regular
pilgrimage to the Berkshire Hathaway AGM in
Peter’s
activity in financial markets has led to a number of media and related
appearances as well as a three year period writing for shares magazine.
