    First of all congrats HS classmate. This series is great to listen to. The depth of knowledge of the speakers even from an SG perspective generally applies even in the Philippines. Looking forward to hearing more on relevant topics in the age of digital finance and how complex it is to manage our wealth compared to previous generations. All the best Sarah and CNA team!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What should you do before the next market shock?
Q: What three questions should I ask myself before I either hit the buy button or hit the sell button or adjust my portfolio?
Chia suggests asking whether the money is needed, whether there is additional money to deploy, and who can provide clear, actionable advice.
What should you do before the next market shock?
Q: Amongst these, which has the highest potential to derail the markets as we know it?
Chia identifies oil prices as a key risk, saying sustained high prices could pressure markets, while past oil spikes have often been followed by declines in the following 12 to 18 months.
Investing in your 20s and 30s: How much risk is too much?
Q: When we are told, you're young, you can afford to take risks, is age actually the wrong thing to focus on here?
Koay says age and time horizon matter, but investors should also consider responsibilities, imminent expenses and risk tolerance when choosing investments.
Investing in your 20s and 30s: How much risk is too much?
Q: How would you describe the difference between investing with risk and a risky investment in an ordinary, plain way?
Koay explains that risky assets are securities whose prices can fluctuate substantially, with the potential for higher rewards over a longer period. Investing with risk also involves how an investor manages volatility and makes decisions based on personal risk tolerance.
US or UCITS ETFs: Which is better for Singapore investors?
Q: In which scenarios should a Singaporean investor prefer UCITS over US-domiciled ETFs?
UCITS is preferable for long-term investors with significant exposure beyond the estate-tax threshold, those who value tax efficiency on dividends, and those who prefer accumulating options to boost compounding, while US-domiciled ETFs suit shorter horizons, higher liquidity, and cost-conscious frequent traders.
