What we do
We have two areas of focus:
(i) Investment management business building strategy, advice and execution;
(ii) as a global financial expert witness to the Law Courts in Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, the UK and the U.S.
Both sides are self-reinforcing – the investment side makes us current in the industry so that we can provide leading-edge expert evidence to the Courts; and the expert side keeps our technical and analytical skills fresh.

Expert Witness
Some tips on needing, appointing and how to use an independent financial expert witness.
Our methodology for analysing and providing expert evidence in financial cases. Product research, calculation of quantum and valuation.
Regularly appointed on insider trading, market manipulation, misappropriation, unauthorised trading, disclosure of price sensitive information cases (etc.) cases. We are appointed by both plaintiffs, defendants, as a single witness, or as a court witness.
Experience as fund manager, stockbroker, banker, and business entrepreneur delivers a unique appreciation of mixed discipline disputes. Acted for plaintiffs, complainants and defendants on trading, mis-selling, misappropriation, and many other disputes.
Analysis of civil financial disputes of all kinds. e.g. family disputes or where tight regulation pits employee against employer. I’m appointed by both sides on different cases.
Disputes regularly concern highly complex financial structures, often using derivative-based products that are analysed and synthesised. A quantum of damages (or a range) may follow the original analysis. We analyse complexity but report simply.
