It’s a wrap! Last night was the firm’s inaugural premier client event and this could not have happened without the tremendous support with strong partners like Grow with Singlife and BlackRock. This event was a first of many for our newly minted FA firm and for me in my new role as the Head of Investment: 1️⃣ first investment event 1️⃣ first premier client event 1️⃣ first wine & dine event 1️⃣ first event to be done at an unfamiliar location 1️⃣ first IPO fund event And to top it off, nobody would believe that this event was put together in less than a week and the event ran smoothly from timings to making sure we create a conducive environment whereby clients could participate actively in the presentations and panel discussions, while still enjoying the night with their trusted advisers over wine and good food. I’m blessed that the firm is supported by dedicated corporate staff and two was all we need to help run the event from setup to Emcee-ing. Lastly, big shoutout to our partners Grow with Singlife and BlackRock for making this event a tremendous success. I hope my use “Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei” analogy to describe the trio funds would allow everyone to not only remember how each fund can have a role to play in their portfolios, but more importantly that having a good blend of the trio would allow one to withstand many battles in the financial markets. If you would like to really learn more about investing and financial markets, do join us in our future event because my mantra as Head of Investment is “no client should walk out from our event not understanding what was being shared”. As always, and till the next time, #staycalmandlakopi Dexter #demystifyinginvestments #financialliteracy #clientengagement #clientevent

Looking forward to talking about how technology and regulation are reshaping the #privateequity investor experience.

With our foundation as an exchange and market operator, Nasdaq Chair and CEO Adena Friedman discusses our approach to deploying organic and inorganic capital allocation during Financial Times Live’s #FTGlobalBoardroom.    “When it came to our trading business, and the market technology business, we really chosen primarily an organic strategy where we rewrote our entire trade lifecycle technology and we’ve been deploying that to our market technology clients.”   Watch the full keynote interview on our role in the evolving financial industry, our recent acquisition of Adenza, and more here: https://lnkd.in/eSR7egwT
