Mitchell Fraser-Jones , Cholsey, United Kingdom

I am an experienced communications specialist, with more than twenty years’ experience working in the UK fund management industry. My passion for creating compelling content extends well beyond that industry, however. I have a transferrable skill that is helpful in establishing open and honest dialogue with clients and I have a particular specialism in tackling complex, challenging and often dry topics through the delivery of simple, understandable and engaging content.

A number of factors combined in 2019 to convince me that the time was right to go it alone as a freelancer.

As Head of Investment Communications for Woodford Investment Management Ltd from 2014 to 2019, I was fully responsible for investment content across all communication channels, with a focus on creating original and innovative content, primarily for the Woodford website and blog.

I am very proud of the work that I created for Woodford over the years – if the company is to be remembered for anything positive, I believe it should be for its bold and transparent communications with its investors.

From 2004, I worked as a Product Director at Invesco Perpetual for ten years, with responsibility for articulating the investment messages of the UK equities team to all intermediary clients. Prior to this, I worked as a senior marketing specialist for Invesco Perpetual and held a series of roles at Singer & Friedlander, culminating in the position of Assistant Portfolio Manager in 1999.
