About

I'm Ashby. I spent 16 years as a financial advisor before turning my focus to writing and building tools for advisors. Today I help advisors explain markets and money decisions in ways their clients can understand and use.

I do that through three businesses. For Money Visuals Client Memos members, I write newsletter content that advisors share privately with clients, to help them make sense of what they're hearing in the news. MV Social Media gives advisors social posts and blog articles to adapt to their own voice. And Market Return Data provides free, easy-to-find market returns for various time periods, plus a growing library of tools that help advisors and investors learn from history and make better decisions.

This blog is where I write about investing, life, and whatever else catches my attention. Every post appears here in full, and you can get each one by email with the form on this page.

If you want to say hello, I'm at [email protected].
