Harrison Cox
Founder & Lead Analyst, Student Invest Guide
Economics, Politics & International Relations Student | Equity Analyst | Financial Journalist
Background & Credentials
Harrison Cox is a first-year undergraduate student reading Economics, Politics and International Relations at a top-10 UK university. Alongside his studies, he works as an equity analyst and economic journalist, with professional experience at three of the world’s leading financial institutions — UBS, JP Morgan, and Blackstone.
His institutional background spans equity research, alternative asset management, financial modelling, and economic commentary — giving him direct exposure to the analytical standards expected across investment banking, private equity, and asset management. He applies this institutional-grade rigour to every article published on Student Invest Guide.
Why Student Invest Guide Exists
Most UK personal finance content written for students is either too simplified to be useful or too complex to be accessible. Harrison built Student Invest Guide to close that gap — producing data-driven, FCA-aligned financial commentary that treats student readers as intelligent adults capable of understanding how ISAs, investment platforms, credit, and tax actually work.
Every article on this site is written or reviewed by Harrison and held to the same editorial standard he applies in professional financial research: factual accuracy, regulatory compliance, and zero tolerance for hype or guaranteed-return language.
