“You don’t have to be a financial expert or a CFA or have an MBA to do this.”
Peter McMurtry, Author and Financial Writer

I always jump at the chance to interview an expert in DIY investing for the podcast and this week I have someone who’s been working in the investment industry for decades! Peter McMurtry is an author and financial writer, whose recent book Own Your Financial Future: Take Charge of Your Investments is sure to pique your interest if you’re wanting to take a more self-directed approach to your investment portfolios.

Peter McMurtry has been involved in the investment industry for over 30 years and his experience includes almost every aspect of the industry. He’s currently a financial writer and has a Chartered Financial Analyst designation (CFA®). He’s also previously been a portfolio manager and has been involved in financial planning and sales. In his new book, Own Your Financial Future, he guides budding investors to manage their own investments without the use of an advisor.

Peter also shares how his newsletter, The McMurtry Investment Report, helps to empower his readers to make their own investment decisions, on top of what to know about fees, how to pick and research stocks, and how to have a balanced portfolio.
