COURSE OBJECTIVES
This 100% SkillsFuture credit-claimable Course will give you the skills and roadmap to build a secondary source of income to plan for early financial freedom, by building an all-weather portfolio that can perform well in any market conditions, and also market timing skills to create additional cashflow from short and medium-term trades.
By learning the key principles of how money works, you can shorten your financial freedom journey by:
- Learning how to grow and compound your wealth to retire faster and earlier (putting the same money in the right place at the right time)
- Learning how to build a long-term investment portfolio that can generate passive income for you even when you are not working
- Learning how to generate additional income from catching profitable medium-term moves in the market by spending 15 minutes a day
This is the roadmap that Mr Spencer Li, an experienced Trainer for this Course has used, to transform from a broke college student at 21 to gaining financial freedom at 28, over 7 years, by following a systematic process of building wealth consistently.
In the Course, Spencer will impart the same skills and roadmap which you can use to start your financial journey.
The Course will focus on the technical skills and practical hands-on training required to analyse any market (stocks, forex, commodities) using the same charts and technical tools as market professionals.
After imparting a solid foundation and framework for analysis, we will also delve into risk management and portfolio construction, from a fund manager’s perspective.
