Adrian Botham

Adrian Botham is a self-taught private investor with more than 25 years of experience in managing his own stocks and shares portfolio. While a student at Warwick University, studying Pure Mathematics, he realised one of his ambitions - to become a share investor - buying his first shares in 1985 with £100 left over from his first year student grant.

Since then, Adrian's share portfolio has grown dramatically, along with his knowledge of share investing, business, economics and finance. Adrian believes in adopting a holistic approach to investing - applying mathematics, graphical chart analysis, economics, business knowledge, human behavioural psychology and common sense to his investment methods and decisions.

He also believes that more people would invest in shares if only they understood more about them, how to analyze and buy them and how to manage the risks involved. This is the driving force behind his first book "How To Invest In Shares" and is the reason he started his business of the same name.
