In collaboration with Fixed Income & FX Leaders Summit APAC, CAIA Association had a chat with Eric Neo, Founder & Chairman of Neo & Partners Global and President HG Exchange (HGX), a private securities exchange formed by an alliance of leading capital market intermediaries, licensed and regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

The pandemic has caused rapid liquidity shifts, volatility in currency and challenges in investment forcing businesses to adjust their compliances and calculations to guarantee effective risk management. While we are in a period to usher in new business models due to rapidly changing consumer preferences, a number of profitable opportunities like digital assets now present themselves to investors.
