I am a supporter of liberty in all its forms including free markets, free trade, and peace.

I am also an actuary who specialised in investment consultancy but now spend much of my time in writing articles devoted to liberty and giving government discredit where discredit is due – a very big occupation.

brief pen-picture

Born in Hartlepool in 1940, Terry Arthur was educated at Manchester and Cambridge Universities and became a consulting actuary after qualification in 1966.
In 1976 he founded his own firm which achieved success and reputation as an adviser to large pension funds, and which eventually merged with Bacon & Woodrow in 1989.

In 1991 Terry left traditional consultancy to concentrate entirely on (i) non-executive positions in organisations concerned with his speciality of institutional investment and (ii) professional writing and speaking. He remains very active in both fields having four non-executive positions and writing regularly for several journals including Governance and Economic Affairs. He served as a member of Council of the Institute of Actuaries for almost 20 years until 1994.

Terry’s book "95% is Crap, A Plain Man's Guide to British Politics" (1975) was a great success. A keen sportsman, he won a blue at rugby in 1962, and played for England in 1966. He reads a lot and with his wife travels, sees their children and plays golf and bridge.
