Financial analyst, personal site

Kliment Robev

Kliment Robev is a financial analyst and licensed investment consultant in Sofia. He writes for Forbes Bulgaria, appears on Bloomberg TV Bulgaria and researches pension systems for his doctorate. We redesigned his site as a calm, editorial home for all of it, in Bulgarian and English.

01the brief

One clear home for a public financial voice

Kliment's work lives in many places: his own analysis, articles for Forbes Bulgaria, interviews on Bloomberg TV Bulgaria, a podcast season with ELANA Trading, lectures and events, and doctoral research into whether better investment returns can mean more adequate pensions. The redesign had to bring it all together, make him easy to find and to quote, and feel as trustworthy as the advice itself: measured, precise and free of hype. As a licensed investment consultant he also needed his regulatory information close at hand on every page.

02the approach

Editorial calm, one red thread

We kept the palette to off-white, graphite and a single red, taken from the red tie in his portrait, and set everything in a family of three typefaces: a sans for reading, a condensed cut for headlines and a mono for figures and labels. On arrival his name types itself in, the portrait rises into place and the menu settles beside it. The homepage then travels sideways, section by section, numbered like a report from 00 to 06, while a thin red line marks your progress and a markets clock keeps Sofia, Frankfurt, London, New York and Tokyo time.

Behind the calm sits an archive. Nine topics, from the US, Trump and the markets to AI, tariffs, real estate and pensions, gather his analysis and appearances with date ranges and counts. Articles, TV interviews, podcast episodes and lectures get their own pages, and the whole site is mirrored in English, 138 pages in all. An approach page sets out his qualifications, principles and how the work runs, and structured data describes him to search engines and AI assistants as an investment consultant licensed by Bulgaria's Financial Supervision Commission. It is a hand-built site, animated with GSAP and Lenis.
