Meet the Team
Andrew Gibson
Andrew has been actively investing and trading markets since the mid 80s. In that time, he has seen it all – from bull markets to bear markets and everything in between.
After graduating with a degree in Economics, Andrew joined global giant Deloitte where he qualified as a Chartered Accountant. During this period he was able to get a “behind the scenes” look at the operations of dozens of companies, ranging in both size and sector.
From there, he set his sights on London, gaining valuable experience with leading investment banks Merrill Lynch and Credit Suisse. Over the next decade, Andrew built up an exceptional level of knowledge and “hands-on” experience working on private equity takeovers, management buy-outs, corporate fund raisings, emerging market debt, credit derivatives and foreign exchange.
Andrew’s commitment to furthering his market knowledge continued where he spent 3 years dedicating himself night and day to the Chartered Financial Analyst programme. The early mornings and lost weekends paid off. Andrew is a CFA Charterholder and a member of the Chartered Financial Analyst Institute.
In the last 8 years Andrew has devoted himself to the UK stock market. His highly regarded research is known for its clear thinking and intelligent analysis.
When he’s not analysing companies and market trends, Andrew’s young family keep him very busy.
David Lowery
David started out his career in finance the old-fashioned way - on the ground floor.
After landing a role on the busy dealing desk at leading stock broker TD Waterhouse, he became hooked on the financial markets. Although David was quickly promoted to Dealing Team Leader, he knew that the real action was in making the calls himself.
David spent the next 5 years learning the ropes in the asset management industry, working his way up to Senior Investment Analyst at Rensburg Investment Management and East Riding Pension Fund. During this time he managed share and bond portfolios for wealthy private clients as well as co-managing a multi-billion pound retirement fund.
Having developed his own financial models and investment strategies, David then joined the hedge fund, Lodestar Capital Partners. Working with some of the sharpest minds in finance, he successfully traded his way through the global financial crisis.
In his spare time, David is a keen landscape photographer and is never happier than when fishing from a riverbank.
Thomas Light
Thomas is a man on a mission. He lives and breathes the financial markets, spending all hours of the day (and night) pursuing his passion.
Taking an early interest in finance, Thomas graduated with a First Class Honours BSc degree in Economics before joining the respected wealth manager, Hargreaves Lansdown. After rising through the ranks, Thomas became responsible for managing the data flows of over 40 of the UKs leading fund management groups and performing detailed stock portfolio analysis.
Having spent the last 4 years intensively researching Price Behaviour Analysis and Japanese Candlesticks Charting, Thomas has developed effective trading strategies for shares, currencies and global indices.
Thomas has attained the Investment Management Certificate and is a Member of the CFA Society. He is also a member of The Society of Technical Analysts.
Away from work, he enjoys cricket, cooking and playing all racquet sports.
