Financial writing powerful enough to preserve your clients' confidence in your firm's asset-management capabilities during the global financial crisis
During the financial crisis that is unfolding around the world, institutional and individual investors want to hear from you how your firm understands what is happening in the markets, how your investment strategies are responding and how the portfolios you have under management are being affected.

In large part, client confidence in your firm depends on how well you communicate your grasp of what is going on.

To communicate effectively with investors during the crisis, your financial writer needs the ability to write about your asset-management strategies in the context of the crisis.

To do so, he needs a broad and deep understanding not only of your market niche but also of mortgage-backed derivatives, credit-default swaps, banks' capital-adequacy requirements, the auction dynamics of the financial markets, asset-valuation models, diverse investment strategies and investors’ decision criteria.

To your communications team and to your firm, I can bring a broad and deep understanding of the financial crisis, its components and investors’ concerns.

My writing has educated investors about the advantages of investing in global portfolios that include commodities, currencies and absolute-return strategies.

In my writing, I have helped investment firms educate high-net-worth individuals about derivative securities.

Pre subprime era— when the main worry was that homeowners would repay their mortgages too soon— my writing educated pension-fund trustees about and persuaded them to invest in collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs).

My writing has helped persuade funds of funds and individuals to invest in a hedge fund's structural-arbitrage option-trading strategy.

My writing has convinced high-net-worth individuals around the world to invest in a globally balanced portfolio-management strategy that— regardless of market conditions— holds the portfolio's volatility constant and lets its expected return fluctuate with market conditions.

My marketing writing has always been well received. A client told me that, at the end of one marketing presentation I wrote for him, a theretofore unknown investor in the audience came forward and, on the basis of the presentation, asked to put $2,000,000 of his family’s wealth under management.

I also have written a book on Black-Scholes option pricing theory. It has a five-star rating at amazon.com. Emails I have received about the book convey how my writing style educates and inspires:

“Simply wonderful stuff!!”
Zvi Bodie, finance professor

“So many things click into place so quickly, it's marvelous. I feel I could go for the next Nobel prize myself!.”
Peter Stewart, accountant

“A deep insight into the price process pops out clearly.”
Lucio Geronazzo, finance professor

“I knew Black-Scholes's option-pricing model was important and used it every day in my trading, but never knew why or how it worked. Your book and CD-ROM provided me clear understanding.”
Dong-Wook Kim, futures and options trader

“I like your writing style. You express complex ideas in easy words.”
Ji Tuo, student (whose first language is not English)

“If I can appreciate and understand Black Scholes, anyone can. Now I feel that I am in the world of Einstein.”
Rochelle Auletta, retired high school teacher.

Chances are, I can meet with you and your colleagues and put into writing your best thinking about the financial crisis and how your firm is responding. I can write in a way that your clients and prospective clients can understand. I can write in a way that helps preserve your clients’ confidence in your asset-management capabilities.

If you want to reassure your clients that your firm understands and is responding effectively to the financial crisis, let me write for you.

Let's talk. Give me a call or send me an email.
