Ian Pagdin BSc

Summary

I teach across a range of modules within the Sheffield Business School, including business environment, principles of investment, risk management and investment and advanced portfolio management. My work involves teaching at Level 4, 5, 6, and 7, I find it to be particularly rewarding to help students progress through the various levels of study. I am also module leader for the risk management and investment module. In addition to my academic work, I am a practising independent financial adviser, running a small business together with my business partner. This involves giving professional advice on finance, lending, investments, pensions and insurance. I find that this can provide useful real life experience to bring to the various courses on which I teach. I have 19 years experience in the finance industry, 16 of these as an independent adviser. I have professional links with the Financial Services Authority (FSA), the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) and Sheffield Life and Pensions Society, I am also the chief examiner for the IFS School of Finance L5 insurance module.
