Marcus Chua

Marcus relates economics and finance into his conversations with a quirky touch, equipped with a Bachelor in Banking & Finance. With much luck, he was able to secure a business development and analyst role in a consultancy firm that deals with private equity. Being brought up in South-East Asia’s financial hub, he believes that all Singaporeans should be financially savvy to ultimately achieve financial independence or freedom. On his leisure time, he loves to go-kart, play basketball and blow a few piece on his saxophone.
