Henry Southworth

Fellow
Current Company: AfricaAway

Dr Henry Southworth was for several years the editor of ‘The Chartist’ (as the STA magazine was then known), whilst conducting research into technical analysis at the University of Birmingham. Following on from this he set up and managed a technical analysis-based futures fund, before turning to the property market instead. After setting up and managing a UK-based student housing property fund, he then invested in property in Spain, from which followed the establishment of SpainAway, a tour operator focusing on Spanish holiday rentals. Presently his time is spent running an offshoot of this – AfricaAway – which specialises in organising safaris in sub-Saharan Africa. A long way from technical analysis perhaps, but with a just about identifiable route in between!

Mark Tennyson d’Eyncourt

Fellow

Mark Tennyson d’Eyncourt started in the market in 1963, with Durlachers, arguably the leading equity jobber of the day.  After spells with Govetts (later Hoare & Co Govett) and Scrimgeours, he moved into fund management with Wallace Bros Sassoon, just before the great bear market of 1973-74.  This was when he started to look at technical analysis seriously, when, clearly, fundamental analysis wasn’t working.  For ten years he ran the Qatar Investment Office in London, providing strategic advice for the state reserves. He joined ACTA in 1984 and the Committee in 1986, just before its incorporation as STA.  For some years he has been involved with Programme Organisation and also acted as Company Secretary.  He was honoured with a Fellowship in December 2009.
