Whilst being based in the UAE, Phil was the weekly financial columnist for the main national tabloid ‘7 Days’ for 2 years and also appeared on national radio for “phone in” financial questions and answers.
Phil is currently CEO of Mercury Partnerships in London. Mercury is currently raising capital for an acquisition of a major shareholding in Brickowner Limted. A London based real estate crowd funding company with assets under management and currently in its 3rd round of funding. Mercury is also conducting distribution globally for Red Ribbon Asset Management, a London based fund manager, with Funds focussed on Impact Investing in India and UK, also listed on the Gibralter stock exchange. Mercury Partnerships has a pipeline of European based Fintech and AI companies that require capital. However Mercury only raise capital with a view to acquire a major stake in the company so as to take a seat on the board of directors. Mercury strategically go after Fintech and AI companies in early stage (not start ups) with strong management teams that can disrupt markets. Whilst major institutions around the world are diversifying into Fintech and AI disruptors Mercury Partnerships are 1 step ahead. This is the fastest moving sector in the world right now and it will get faster as it evolves because insurance companies, banks and investment companies will depend more and more on mobile application development and online sales channels.

Taking Financial Advice From a Lottery Winner
In a 2005 Powerball drawing a strange thing happened.
There were 110 people who all picked the same exact lottery numbers — 22, 28, 32, 33 and 39. This group picked 5 out of the 6 numbers correctly, good enough for the 2nd prize.
Having 110 people pick the same numbers across 29 different states was quite rare, considering at most there were 4-5 people who would split the prize in the average drawing.
Each winner was due to make six figures, making the total payout was $19 million higher than expected. This raised some eyebrows and caused people at the lottery association to look into how this could have happened. After ruling out fraud, they finally figured it out, as told by the New York Times:
“Our first winner came in and said it was a fortune cookie,” said Rebecca Paul, chief executive of the Tennessee Lottery. “The second winner came in and said it was a fortune cookie. The third winner came in and said it was a fortune cookie.”
Investigators visited dozens of Chinese restaurants, takeouts and buffets. Then they called fortune cookie distributors and learned that many different brands of fortune cookies come from the same Long Island City factory, which is owned by Wonton Food and churns out four million a day.
“That’s ours,” said Derrick Wong, of Wonton Food, when shown a picture of a winner’s cookie slip. “That’s very nice, 110 people won the lottery from the numbers.”
If any of these 110 people worked in the investment business they probably would have started their own newsletter — My Secret Formula for Winning the Lottery.
I was reminded of this story while reading a New York Times profile on angel investor Jason Calacanis. Calacanis is worried about how technology is going to impact the jobs of millions of Americans and wants to help this group invest in tech to make up for it. His new book is called Angel: How to Invest in Technology Startups — Timeless Advice From An Angel Investor Who Turned $100,000 into $100,000,000.
Here’s the backstory on how he earned his $100 million:
In 2009, the venture capital firm Sequoia enlisted Mr. Calacanis as one of its “scouts,” an informal network of entrepreneurs who look for promising companies on the firm’s behalf. As part of that program, Mr. Calacanis invested $25,000 in a friend’s crazy-sounding tech-enabled cab company. The friend was Travis Kalanick; the company was Uber. And despite that company’s recent turmoil, the deal has turned into Mr. Calacanis’s biggest win as an angel by far, worth about $100 million on paper.
For those who are unaware, Sequoia Capital is one of the most well-known venture capital firms in the world. So while Calacanis took a huge right risk in this situation and hit the jackpot, I’m not sure how much timeless advice 99.9% of investors can glean from someone who has contacts at one of the best VC firms in the world who made his fortune on a single home run investment.
Even the best investors in venture capital have a hard time picking and choosing the right deals and investments. Most are complete failures. I know from experience how ultra-competitive this space is and it’s only gotten more so in recent years. Even if you put in the time to educate yourself about angel investing, it’s one of the harder areas of the markets to invest successfully in because the opportunity set is so limited and hard to access.
I have a theory about comedians that the more successful (read: wealthy) they become, the less funny they become (Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David are probably the exceptions to this rule) because they lose touch with reality or begin to take themselves too seriously.
This seems to apply to most uber-wealthy people who try to give financial advice to the average person as well. I can appreciate successful people who would like to share with others what made them successful. But no amount of books, morning routines, meditation, rituals or inspirational quotes are going to make you filthy rich. The circumstances are drastically different than people in the middle class are dealing with. And it’s impossible to replicate luck.
Obviously, this isn’t always the case. Not all wealthy people are out of touch lottery winners. But people have to temper their expectations when trying to emulate the top 1% of the top 1%. You can be inspired by these people, but following their blueprint for becoming wealthy is a different story.
I’ll give Calacanis the benefit of the doubt and assume he doesn’t have ill intentions here. But most people are better off learning how to get their personal finances in order and investing in themselves than trying to find home run investments that will change their lives.

The Asset Finance industry is based on the concept of either preserving cash or speeding up access to it. Asset finance, which consists of invoice discounting, factoring and funding of asset purchases, has been available as a source of finance for many years, yet it's only now gaining more recognition. Figures released by the Asset Based Finance Association, a trade association representing the industry, show that to the third quarter of 2011 the amount financed by the Association's members increased by 9% compared to the same period in the previous year. Whilst the increase may not seem significant it is against the backdrop of a fall in traditional bank lending.
A relatively new phenomenon is the concept of raising finance by tapping into the power of the crowd. The historically low rates of interest payable on savings have led to depositors seeking out new ways to increase their returns.
