Thomas Carr

Thomas began investing in his teens, just before the start of the global financial crisis, and has been continually investing ever since. He's a big advocate of a buy and hold investment strategy, and finds himself drawn to value and growth investment styles. His interests in technology and economics also push him towards thematic investing.
