Tim is one of Australia’s most experienced financial professionals, helping to empower self-directed investors for over three decades.

Tim co-founded Lincoln Indicators in 1991, teaming up with his father Dr. Merv Lincoln to computerise and commercialise Dr. Lincoln’s PhD thesis, ‘The Usefulness of Accounting Ratios to Describe Levels of Insolvency Risk’. Their vision was to create software solutions that via the analysis of financial accounts, would calculate the Financial Health of stock exchange listed companies.

In 1997, after six years of testing and development, Stock Doctor was launched and has since grown to become Australia’s premier DIY sharemarket investment platform. Utilising unique, proprietary algorithms and exclusive quantitative data driven research methodology, Stock Doctor gives much-needed support and guidance to DIY and SMSF investors to confidently invest in financially healthy, high-quality companies and identify those at risk of potential corporate failure.

This suite of Australian and US investment funds caters for time poor investors who trust the Lincoln Indicators quantitative methodology but prefer to leave the management of their portfolios to the experienced Lincoln Indicators team.
