In managing in excess of S$1 billion worth of our clients’ assets, 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 discuss the reasons why people still invest in gold, and if there are benefits as compared to investing in equities and bonds. They also discuss the downsides, and if gold has a place in your investment portfolio or if should you avoid it altogether, as a Singaporean-based investor.
