Simon Caufield

Biography

Simon Caufield started out as an engineer. He holds an MA in engineering from Cambridge and an MBA from the London Business School.

After graduating, Simon worked as a management consultant for banks and insurance companies, which gave him the chance to see the City from the inside.

In 2001 Simon started his own company developing software to price banking services such as loans and deposits. After growing the company to 100 employees, he sold it in 2007, looking for his next challenge.

In the same year, Simon 'sacked' his fund managers and took complete control over his investments. Now he devotes all his time to investing, and is an 'angel investor' helping start-up companies.

Simon writes his own investment newsletter – True Value. This follows the strategy he established in 2007 and is based on buying assets that are priced way below their true value. He scours the worldwide markets for equities, bonds and alternative investments to find opportunities that fit his conservative and contrarian approach. You can find out more about True Value here.
