Background
James read accountancy at Nanyang Technological University, graduating with a Bachelor of Accountancy (Second Class Upper Honours). He began his career as an external auditor with a Big Four accounting firm, then moved to a local stockbroking firm as a sell-side research analyst.
Auditing taught him to trace every number back to its source. Equity research
taught him to build a view from data, state the assumptions, and change his
mind when the evidence changes.
