Track record: Worked with KPMG in investment & corporate finance before co-founding e2e Technologies in 2000. With ING IM since 2005.
Investment mantra: To identify fund managers who follow an institutional process of management with appropriate risk controls, and can deliver above-benchmark returns on a consistent basis.
Best call over the past few months: We changed the focus of the active debt portfolio from long duration to short term and then to liquid/liquid plus portfolio.
Worst call over the past few months: Despite the negative view on crude, we overlooked the rally in gilts.
Worst mistake small investors make: Trying to chase returns and selling at the peak of a boom cycle.
Advice to small investors: When everybody starts talking of investing in an asset class, you should redeem your money. When they have burnt their hands in an asset class, lost money and redeemed it, start investing.
