Financial Analysis Made Easy

A Step by Step Guide to Understanding Financial Ratios for Beginners in Singapore

Hi there,

My name is Richard (Jun Hao) and I am the co-founder and portfolio manager of a boutique global value fund based in Singapore. I work with high net-worth clients in managing their stock portfolios. You also probably know me from my frequent articles on The Asia Report.

My research and views have been featured in multiple publications and talk such as:

One of the biggest challenges I see investors face is the lack of a strong foundation when it comes to looking at stocks.

Knowing how to do simplified financial analysis is crucial to pick winning stocks, and more importantly avoid losing stocks that can be fatal to your investment portfolio.

I will help simplify financial analysis for you in this online course so that you can do it even if you don't have a background in finance or accounting.


Focus on what is important

There are hundreds of financial ratios and it can be extremely confusing to new investors to know what to look for.

I will help simplify that in the course by focusing on several financial ratios that I hone on in automatically when assessing any new investment idea.

In other words, I will help you cut through the noise to focus on what is truly important and relevant to help you both save time as well as increase your effectiveness when looking at financials.

At the end of the course, you should be comfortable looking at financial ratios and to gain an understanding of the company's financials in under 5 minutes.

During the course, we will cover past case studies such as Swiber, Starhub, SPH and Challenger Technologies.
