Investment can be complicated. My job is to make it easier to understand.

For almost two years, I have written investment content for cask whisky ownership brokerage firm Hackstons, covering everything from market performance, pricing and risk to the realities of owning whisky casks. I’ve also used confidential market reports to ghostwrite comparisons between cask whisky and traditional and alternative asset classes, including the FTSE 100, S&P 500, gold, property and Bitcoin.

The work involved digging into market reports, industry research and data, finding the information that matters to the reader and turning it into content that makes sense to everyday investors.

One thing worth noting: accuracy matters. So I’m always careful about how data is presented, the claims being made and what the research can actually tell us.

This is a path in my freelance career that I’m particularly proud of. I genuinely enjoy helping readers understand investment and build their financial knowledge, and it’s an area I’m excited to keep exploring.
