During the conversation with Danny Wong, CEO of Areca Capital, he shares with us his investment philosophy and gives us an insight to their funds track record since their inception.

As a result of the pandemic many people have started diversifying their portfolios out of primarily real estate and are looking for different options. Danny gives us his views on the general investing strategy and metrics during times like these for example;

Short term versus long term investing
Sectors to invest in
Diversification and risk management

Danny also talks about several key topics namely:-

Herd mentality vs contrarian investing
The generational differences in risk appetite between older high-net-worth individuals and their offspring
Wealth preservation versus aggressive growth and at what stages in life should we use different strategies
Investing in uncertain times: Danny quotes Warren Buffett – “being greedy when others are fearful”
