What we're about
Armchair Banker is an independent publication launched in October 2024, a refreshingly witty newsletter website run by a Aussie banker Stevo A, which includes seasoned investment banking contributors who decided to swap their boardroom suits for some armchair lounging.
The newsletter delivers 'Learning finance made easy', with sharp insights on news, companies and interesting topics, but with a humorous twist that makes even the driest financial news enjoyable.
Who is Stevo A? The Armchair Banker
Meet Stevo, the financial wizard behind Armchair Banker. With 15 years of experience in investment banking, corporate finance, and markets, Stevo’s résumé is so impressive it could intimidate a spreadsheet.
At the tender age of 19—while most of us were still figuring out how to budget for pizza—he kicked off his career at Australia’s largest investment bank, Macquarie. There, he got a crash course in equities, fixed income, commodities, and currencies, or as he likes to call it: "a sampler platter of financial chaos."
After that, he decided to try his hand at financial advice, guiding everyone from family businesses to high-net-worth individuals through the maze of money management. (Think Gordon Gekko, but with better morals and slightly less hairspray.)
By 2019, Stevo had joined a mid-sized private equity and capital firm in Sydney, leading retail capital raises and revolutionizing shareholder engagement for ASX-listed companies. In short, he made finance less of a headache and more of a finely tuned machine.
Now, he’s taking his talents to Armchair Banker, where finance meets wit, wisdom, and just the right dash of sarcasm. Because who says talking money can’t be fun?
