Fund Manager on the London Stock Exchange

At Legal & General he became a successful fund manager and rose rapidly to management grade with responsibility for managing funds in excess of £130 million. A key to his success was a software system he developed using Lotus Notes.

Anxious to help small private investors protect their investments he wrote a tongue in cheek article highlighting to small investors the tell tale signs that it is time to get out of a particular company's shares. It was agreed with the publication that the article would be published anonymously however, due to an error in the production process at the Investor's Chronicle, the article was published with his employer's name credited on the article. After a short period of suspension he was given his notice.
