Introduction
Welcome to my home page. Here
you will find easy access to some of my recent writings and
talks on issues relating to investment and
economics.

Most of you accessing this
page have probably been directed here by me or people known
to me. For everyone else, here is a
summary.
I am an economist focusing
on the world of investments and wealth management. This
means that besides writing for the various media on these
issues, I also offer investment advisory services to
individuals and companies.
Before establishing my
advisory service, I spent some time at the Institute of
Policy Studies in Singapore working for the 2006
IMF-World Bank Annual
Meetings held in Singapore.
Prior to that, I had spent
some 20 years in the finance industry as an economist,
analyzing and forecasting the capital markets. In the
main, I cover the major currencies, stocks, properties
and bonds.
My first
job immediately after securing my PhD from the University
of East Anglia in Britain in 1987 was as a journalist
with the Singapore financial daily newspaper “
Business Times”.
It was a great
experience interviewing the newsmakers. But soon after, I moved
out of the media and worked for various financial institutions
as an economist.
Despite spending
most of my career in the investment world, I have kept in touch
with the university. In 1999-2001, I was appointed as an
Adjunct Associate Professor of Economics at the National
University of Singapore, teaching the Portfolio Management
module.
About Money
Talks
In July 2007, I began a
weekly radio programme with MediaCorp Radio’s
938LIVE. In
these weekly programmes, which would normally run from July
right through to the end of October, I would offer my views
on the latest developments in the world of investments and
economics.
In these weekly programmes, I
have also tried to remove all the economic jargon and
simplified the issues for the radio listener. But read the
transcripts of the radio programmes and judge for yourself.
