Alasdair Macleod started his career as a stockbroker in 1970 on the London Stock Exchange. Within nine years, he had risen to become senior partner of his firm. Subsequently, he held positions at director level in investment management and worked as a mutual fund manager. Alasdair also worked at a bank in Guernsey as an executive director.
On returning to the UK he became head of research for Goldmoney, a position he held until last year. He left to found his own Substack channel (MacleodFinance.com), where he writes on economics, geopolitics, money, and credit.
For most of his 40 years in the finance industry, Alasdair has been demystifying macro-economic events for his investing clients. The accumulation of this experience has convinced him that unsound monetary policies are the most destructive weapon governments use against the common man. Accordingly, his mission is to educate and inform the public in layman’s terms about what governments do with money and how to protect themselves from the consequences.
