About Small/Mid Caps with Paul Scott
Introducing Dave Wilde
After obtaining my degree and masters (focussed on finance, accountancy and operational research) from the University of Edinburgh, I worked in the IT and strategy departments of a FTSE 100 company. After deciding this wasn't the life for me, I started a small software company that allowed me to travel and pursue outside interests, including music and water sports.
After winding down the company to focus on my family, I've returned to studying investing and have been managing my own SIPP for around a decade. My approach is constantly evolving as I continue to learn (particularly from mistakes! ) but currently it's probably best described as being in the GARP camp. I enjoy evaluating companies where a deep, forensic evaluation can uncover something unknown to the wider community and where effort can provide an edge.
