SMU School of Social Sciences Chan Choon Yuan was featured in an article where he shared his investing strategy, biggest investing mistake and best investment move. Mr Chan took accounting modules while he was studying at SMU, so that he could better understand financial statements, even though he was then a political science student. His academic background has helped him tie in what he learns about the world and the economy, but a large part of it was achieved through self-study. His only regret is not having started investing at an even younger age, giving himself more time to learn from his mistakes.
