About the blog

Exploratory Finance

Welcome to the Exploratory Finance blog. Here, you’ll find a growing collection of insights on personal finance, investing, and the latest developments in the world of finance. I also share in-depth book reviews and explore intriguing research topics in insurance and finance.

As a qualified actuary with a background in general insurance and a degree in Physics, I have a passion for delving into complex subjects and making them accessible. My goal is to provide thoughtful, well-researched content that not only educates but also sparks curiosity.

I encourage you to leave a comment with any topics you’d like to learn more about – your feedback helps shape the content of this blog.
