Ofwealth

OfWealth is an independent online investment newsletter produced by Rob Marstrand. OfWealth's aim is to explain investment in simple terms to private investors, and to provide ideas. Rob is a finance professional with three decades of experience, and who has lived on three continents (Europe, Asia, Latin America). If you’re a private investor looking for profitable ideas, or want to get started with investing your savings, then OfWealth is ideal for you. The aim is to cut through the noise, and provide clear, easy-to-understand, and original explanations and analysis. The worlds of finance and investment can seem complex and alien a lot of the time. They’re loaded with jargon and acronyms, and experts use complex theories or mathematical formulae that are as likely to confuse as to explain. This leaves non-experts at the mercy of bankers, brokers and the mainstream financial media. But it doesn’t have to be this way. It’s perfectly possible for someone without a formal financial training to be a successful private investor. All that’s required is the right information, a modest amount of time and a reasonable degree of organisation. Our readers learn about how to invest, what to invest in for profit, and (just as importantly) what to avoid. Sometimes, as unlikely as it seems, it can even be entertaining. Rob Marstrand started OfWealth with these issues and aims in mind.
