Undergrad hits the books to be a better investor

SMU undergraduate Toh Yi An was featured in the Straits Times’ “Me & My Money” column. He devotes at least an hour a day to reading news and non-fiction, including books about finance and legendary investors like Warren Buffett. Despite his deep knowledge of the markets and aptitude in analysing stocks and thinking critically, Toh has been on a roller-coaster ride with his stock picks this year. He had previously learnt to manage his finances well from his parents and two elder brothers, but started to get really interested during national service when he had a lot of time to read about Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger and Benjamin Graham, and their books. He plans to give 10 per cent of his profits consistently to charitable organisations, preferably to children and education-based charities.
