Life and career

edit

Nick Majendie was educated at Winchester College, where he played cricket for the school, and at Christ Church, Oxford, playing for Oxford University from 1961 to 1963.[2] A wicket-keeper and lower-order batsman, after appearing in a few matches for Surrey late in the 1963 season he was named by the Test player Colin Cowdrey as one of the most promising young players in England: "[he did] enough to raise every eyebrow, for nothing eluded him and his obvious class became apparent to all".[3] However, Majendie played no further first-class cricket after the 1963 season.

After receiving an MA from Oxford, Majendie moved to Canada in 1964. He became a chartered accountant with Price Waterhouse in 1967, and in 1969 entered the investment business as a research analyst. Since then he has run his own investment companies.[4] Among other positions, he is a Director of Canaccord Genuity Corporation and Majendie Wealth Management.[5] He has also been a frequent investment commentator in the media.[6]
