Financial markets
It was Peter’s restless 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.
On returning to the UK, Peter bought Berkshire Hathaway shares, giving him the right to attend the Berkshire Hathaway AGM and ask Warren Buffett questions as an international shareholder.

Peter went on to transform his own financial profile by adopting this long-term ‘value investor’ approach, as well as the methodology and mindset of his mentor. This set of principles is reinforced by Peter’s regular pilgrimage to the Berkshire Hathaway AGM in Omaha, Nebraska. Over time, he has built a substantial portfolio of investments and spends a lot of his time researching and actively looking for new opportunities.
Peter’s activity in financial markets has led to several media and related appearances and a three-year period of writing for Shares Magazine. Read some of the many articles Peter has written below: –
