Born and raised in Singapore, Eugene studied economics and finance where he received his Summa Cum Laude from the Singapore Management University in 2008. Eugene is also a keen sportsman and he represented the Singapore National Team in Water Polo in the 2007 Southeast Asian Games, winning their 22nd consecutive Team Gold.
Eugene’s career in Finance spans over 11 years. His career started in 2008, joining Citi as a Management Associate for 3 years. Subsequently, he was with J.P. Morgan providing FX and Interest Rates sales & advisory for corporates for over 8 years, where he was a Vice-President.
Eugene and I recorded the episode before Buffett’s Berkshire Meeting in Omaha, I had the pleasure to seeing him in person at the event, and talking more. His passion for investing, and his curiosity beams through in this recording as much as it did when we met.
Today, Eugene shares with us stories from his childhood and young adulthood. We go on a rollercoaster ride from growing up with no money, and a parent with a gambling addiction to a near-death experience, to discovering his ikigai, his true reason for being. We discuss stock investing, and how it can be a path to wealth. We discover how long-term investing works best. Eugene shares his thoughts on the futility of market timing. We learn about various types of companies he likes, and why it pays to never sell entirely your position. You’ll find a lesser-known story about Steve Jobs towards the end of the episode, too.
Please help me welcome, Eugene Ng.
