Saxo’s vision is to enable people to fulfill their financial aspirations and make an impact. To achieve that, we’re not only offering clients access to more than 60 exchanges globally with over 40,000 instruments covering different asset classes, we’re also providing timely, relevant and insightful research to help the clients make informed decisions. With Wong’s expertise, we further enhanced our strategist team’s coverage as Hong Kong and the mainland China markets both attract more attention and interest from investors all over the world.
With 30 years of experience at investment banks, private banks and hedge funds, Wong has held roles across proprietary trading, institutional fixed income and derivative sales, portfolio management and hedge fund management.
