In this Webinar, you will learn from Eng Guan and Patrick about two advanced investment strategies using quant-based approach as well as applying leverage to achieve 10%-15% annual returns.

Trending following strategy is the most popular investment strategy after value investing. If value investing is about buy low and sell high, then trend following is about buy high and sell even higher.
