Investment gurus have asked you for 5 minutes of your time to make a 6-digit income over Youtube. Many claims to have proven strategies and achieved spectacular results. Yet somehow, we always knew that things are not as straightforward.
While it is impossible to simplify the world of finance and investments, it is beneficial to be selective in where we focus our attention and time. Investival 2021 brings together economists, academics, market leaders, chief executives, and analysts onto 1 platform for this very purpose. Over 7 days, we will study and discuss the major investment sectors, different investment themes, and macro-economic outlook.
Captains of sustainable movements like Esther An (Chief Sustainability Officer of CDL), Samuel Rhee (Chairman of Endowus), and Annie Koh (Professor Emeritus of Finance at SMU) will discuss the role of sustainability in our investments with our writer Jovi Ho.
S-REITs started off with local assets but have expanded overseas because of Singapore’s small size. Goola Warden, Executive Editor of The Edge will be discussing the risks and opportunities when investing in REITs with overseas assets.
The emergence of robo-advisors has also gotten the attention of many, as wealth management services are increasingly democratized. Felicia Tan discusses the future of money management with Gregory Van of Endowus and Amanda of Stashaway.
Real estate is an integral part of the investment plan for most Singaporeans. As home prices continue to defy expectations, are there other asset classes that we should be looking at? How should our real estate investments evolve in the new economy? The Edge CEO, Bernard Tong, chairs the conversation with Dora Chng, GM of GuocoLand, Thomas Tan (COO of ERA), and Desmond Sim (CEO of ET&C SEA).
Besides these traditional investment instruments, we will also be discussing cryptocurrency, given its recent rise to fame. Our writer Lim Hui Jie talks to Hayden Huges (CEO of Alpha Impact) and Anthony Ruddenklau (Head of Financial Services, KPMG) on whether there is an investment thesis behind cryptos, or is it merely fueled by speculation.
Over the 7 days, we will also discuss key issues like the Delta variant, vaccine efficacy, inflation, supply-chain disruption, that will affect the wider economy.
Join our extensive conversation from 25 September to 1 October to hear different perspectives, voice your opinions, and learn from one another. Knowledge is most useful when liberated and shared.
