Michael Samson
Fixed Income Adviser
Michael Samson is a Fixed Income Advisor at LWK Capital, where since 2023 he has delivered expert advisory services to institutional clients, high-net-worth individuals, and corporate partners. Specializing in government bonds, corporate credit, structured debt products, and interest rate risk management, Michael combines rigorous credit analysis with strategic portfolio construction to help clients achieve resilient, income-focused outcomes in dynamic global markets.
Born and raised in South West England, Michael attended Exeter Grammar School before pursuing higher education at the University of Bristol, where he earned a First-Class BSc Honours in Economics and Finance. This strong academic grounding in macroeconomic theory, quantitative methods, and financial markets provided the foundation for his distinguished career in fixed income.
Michael launched his professional journey in 2012 as a Fixed Income Analyst at Westcountry Banking Group in Bristol, where he developed expertise in UK gilt analysis and corporate bond valuation. In 2015, he progressed to Credit Portfolio Manager at Severn Capital Partners, a prominent London-based investment firm with regional ties, overseeing diversified credit portfolios and contributing to risk mitigation strategies during periods of market volatility. By 2017, he had advanced to Senior Fixed Income Strategist at Avonbridge Financial, leading research on sovereign and high-yield debt while advising on asset allocation for institutional mandates.
In 2018, Michael was headhunted by Horizon Pacific Investments, a respected Sydney-based asset management firm, to bolster their fixed income capabilities amid growing demand for sophisticated debt strategies in the Asia-Pacific region. This international move broadened his perspective, enabling him to integrate European market insights with Australian and global fixed income dynamics.
Since joining LWK Capital in 2023, Michael has played a pivotal role in elevating the firm’s advisory offerings, drawing on his cross-border experience to craft tailored fixed income solutions that prioritize capital preservation and yield optimization.
Complementing his advisory work, Michael maintains an active presence as a part-time financial journalist, contributing insightful commentary on bond markets, monetary policy, and credit trends to leading online financial publications. His writing underscores his thought leadership and commitment to demystifying complex fixed income concepts for a broad audience.
At 35, Michael Samson brings youthful energy, deep technical acumen, and a global outlook to LWK Capital. He is dedicated to building enduring client relationships grounded in transparency, analytical precision, and a relentless focus on delivering superior risk-adjusted performance in fixed income investing.
