Having gone through multiple market crises together with our clients since 2001, we know what works and what will not work when it comes to the reliability and sufficiency of investment returns.

To share our insights, we are pleased to introduce our "Investment 101" video series featuring Dr Peng Chen, Senior Advisor & Director at Providend. In this series, Isaac Ong, our Client Adviser, discusses essential investing concepts with Dr Peng, to provide you with a better understanding of the financial markets as you embark on or continue your investment journey.

In this episode, Dr. Peng and Isaac talk about the role of bonds in your investment portfolio, the difference between government and corporate bonds, which type might be more suitable for you, and how much of your portfolio should be allocated to bonds.

Watch all five "Investment 101" videos here.

At Providend, we are passive in areas where evidence shows us that it is better to be passive and active in areas where we cannot afford to be passive. This philosophy is born out of our experiences managing money through many crises. Learn why it is important to first establish how much is enough returns for you instead of blindly chasing after returns.
