A tireless pursuit to understand more about the world’s financial markets and how we can effectively engage them analytically and empirically
Philosopher: And what kind of business is this about which I have often heard people talk but which I neither understand nor have made efforts to comprehend? And I have found no book that deals with the subject and makes apprehension easier.
Shareholder: I really must say you are an ignorant person, friend Greybeard, if you know nothing of this enigmatic business [stocks] which is at once the fairest and most deceitful in Europe, the noblest and the most infamous in the world, the finest and the most vulgar on earth. It is a quintessence of academic learning and a paragon of fraudulence; it is a touchstone for the intelligent and a tombstone for the audacious, a treasury of usefulness and a source of disaster, and finally a counterpart of Sisyphus who never rests as also of Ixion who is chained to a wheel that turns perpetually.
We are a Singapore-based management focused on servicing family offices and UHNWIs. We collaborate with like-minded investors in a lifelong journey to learn more about ourselves and the world around us, enabling us to invest more effectively: to preserve, manage and grow wealth, and to develop and nurture talent within the family office.
