Welcome to Frances Cowell’s website.

 

Here you can find a collection of articles and short stories I have written over the years, some of them published, many of them not. The subject matter varies, and many defy categorisation. Nevertheless I have grouped them as best I can.

Other Views are observations about what I – and perhaps you – see going on about us. Some but not all of it has a political tone or even argument. Many of the articles you see have been published on TheEuropeanNetwork.eu, an online publication that I have been doing some voluntary work for the last few years. Those articles include mention of The European Network or its predecessor, United Europe, at the end of the article, and can now also be viewed on TheEuropeanNetwork.eu. I have also submitted a couple of articles in French to L’Institut du Pacifique – InstitutduPacifique.org, and you can see the English language version here. Again, these articles show, at the end of the main text, the site where they were first published.

Investment-land is a collection of some of the articles I’ve penned over the years, recording my experiences and observations about investment management. Although written some time ago, I believe much of what I wrote then remains pertinent. Over a 30-year career in the field, one thing that strikes me most about it is how little things change! The items you see include some that were published, in which case that is indicated, and others that I don’t think were.

Publications is a sort of bibliography of work that’s been published over the years. Just for the record.

The Odd Life is a collection of (mostly) short stories that I have scribbled at the request of friends and family. The page could equally have been called Truth is Stranger than Fiction, as some of the yarns are indeed weird. All are true.

About is, well, a bit about my background.
