I am an amateur, private investor with no professional experience or qualifications. This blog is a record of my effort to manage my own portfolio. I enjoy following professional investors and trying to learn about investment theory and will post about these also. I am not an expert and do not want anyone to follow me seeking advice or guidance. Please feel free to comment or criticise as I am keen to learn from other people’s opinions and experiences.

My goals are as follows:

1. Accumulate a balanced range of predominantly income-generating assets denominated in a variety of currencies.
2. Minimise tax liabilities.
3. Minimise fees and charges.
4. Maintain and increase purchasing power over the long-term.

Philosophy: Why bother looking for new ideas if the old ones still work?

Peter Lynch: “No one can predict the economy, interest rates or the stock market. Dismiss all such forecasts.”
