Author Information

I spent 47 years in Wealth Management in Swiss Private Banks, helping clients understand money and investing. Schools don't teach children about money. They are thrust into the world and left to figure it out alone. Financial literacy is not optional - it is essential. That is why I created the Little Trot adventure series - fun, colourful books that take children from simple ideas like saving and interest, all the way to profit, investment, rent, and beyond. Perfect for parents and grandparents to read together with the young investors in their lives.
