Everything about me is “Unconventional”

My upbringing, career and investment approach can all be described in one word – “Unconventional”.

 

Unlike most kids, who grow up hearing fairy tales, I grew up on stock stories. My dad owned a stockbroking business and I heard him talk to his clients from home. I was enthralled with markets and couldn’t wait to get started.

A Special Message from Me to You

As a global equity money manager, I have traveled extensively around the world—from far-flung islands in Indonesia to manufacturing hubs across Europe, from poverty-stricken Pakistan to glitzy Dubai, and from capitalist America to communist China.

 

Everywhere, I encountered people, practices, and cultures that seemed vastly different from one another. But on reflection, what my travels really revealed is not how different we are, but how similar: the same aspirations, if not the same ideals; the same values, even if not the same religion; the same basic human needs, wants, emotions, and vulnerabilities, even if expressed in different forms.
