Dr. James Fox

James is regularly ranked the UK's #1 independent stock picker on Stockomendation, with his current portfolio returning roughly 253% on invested assets in just 2.5 years. A development economist by training, his research is built on a quant-driven approach reinforced by thematic conviction. In recent years he's heavily backed compute stocks and durable industrial moats, but more broadly favours stocks where the metrics simply stack up — valuation, momentum, profitability, analyst revisions — taking high-conviction positions, buying into market fear and selling into strength.
