About Us

Tom is a 6th generation farmer who grew up in Warialda, Northwest New South Wales. After completing his education, Tom returned to the family farming business where he gained valuable insights into hard work, resource management, and the importance of long-term planning.

After around 10 years of working on the farm Tom was faced with the challenges of scaling the operations while managing multiple local real estate ventures. He started exploring the stock market as a more scalable and manageable way to grow wealth and found that he preferred to be self-reliant and play the long game in this way by methodically analysing investments.

What began as a personal investment journey quickly turned into a passion for identifying undervalued stocks and creating sustainable, long-term growth.

Tom continues managing his own money and others’ without needing the staff, tenants, or debt required to scale most businesses. He runs a lean operation without leverage, ensuring low risk and high reliability. He remains the largest shareholder in his own fund, aligning his interests with his investors.
