Applying Complexity Science
to Asset Management and Beyond
Connecting finance with complexity science, I work where theory meets market reality. My experience spans the Bank of England; a macro hedge fund; and traditional asset management, all underpinned by a PhD in Complexity Economics. I help investors see patterns in uncertainty, challenge conventional approaches, and focus on what drives lasting value. Author of Complexity Arbitrage and seven foundational papers.
Markets are not machines — they are evolving, adaptive systems shaped by uncertainty, feedback, and shifting narratives. Here, I explore how complexity science can reveal these patterns, offering fresh perspectives on interpreting change, managing risk, and creating lasting value.
How complexity science can reshape investment thinking. Explore research, case studies, and concepts such as non-ergodicity, systemic risk, price emergence, and adaptive strategy.
Exploratory posts, draft essays, and reflections on complexity, uncertainty, and systemic resilience. See how these themes connect across markets, organisations, and wider systems.
