Students learn to become the next investing powerhouse

Singapore

TIFFANY Liu had no clue what a hedge fund was till she interviewed for an investor relations role at a Hong Kong-based investment firm 6 years ago, fresh out of university.

She didn't even like mathematics and had never analysed a stock. But today, Liu runs an international club that lets youth try their hand at investing with a pool of real cash. The club even has prominent institutions such as the CFA Institute backing an environmental, social and governance (ESG) programme it recently launched.
