Riding Asia’s Emerging Financial Markets – Opportunities & Risks
|
Asia’s Emerging Financial Markets (AEFMs) can be diverse and complex. Currencies are not freely traded. Markets can be volatile and derivative products available for hedging are not fully developed. All of which could have significant impact on funding, hedging and risk management decisions. Ground knowledge and insights to regulations, hidden costs and other market idiosyncrasies could provide competitive advantage in AEFMs. This workshop aims to provide a practitioner’s approach to maximise opportunities and avoid potential painful pitfalls.

FX Options: An Alternative Way to Trade FX for Retail and Financial Institutions
(published on CME Group's website)
15 Sep 2020 - Thomas Poh
FX trading opportunities aheadIt has been over six months since the COVID-19 pandemic hit the global economy and sent financial markets into one of the wildest rides ever seen. Extreme market volatility was seen across all markets with unprecedented markets dislocations. With the Fed’s intervention, by announcing QE Infinity in March, financial markets has since embarked on a dramatic turnaround. Gold and Nasdaq both hit all-time highs, while yields dropped to rock bottom. The FX market also went on a roller coaster ride. The DXY Dollar-index made a big reversal since its near 9% spike in March mainly driven the Fed’s relief measures, the eurozone’s agreement to a EUR 750 billion pandemic fund, and the escalation of the COVID-19 spread in the US

The entire ACTA course and assessment covers 6 modules over 102 hours of lessons and spanning 4 months. Although 102 hours over a 4-month period do not seem much, this does not include the time spent on preparing deliverable and group work. In addition, this is my first experience attending a prolong course as an Adult Learner. With it, comes challenges with schedule management and simply getting used to classroom learning after an absence of 25 years. In the weeks that followed, I became one of the classic example of a typical Adult Learner that ACTA is preparing us to train!
For starters, I had to do quite a fair bit of "un-learning". As the saying goes, you cannot fill a bucket that is already full. Throughout the course, I constantly get to clear out cobwebs in my mind. It is not everyday that you get to spring clean your thoughts in your mind. I had to learn the theory behind the science and art of training which helped put my real-world life experiences into perspective and reorganize them into a more holistic mental model
Group work is the other highlight of this ACTA course. I had the pleasure to work with a group of awesome course mates. Given the diverse backgrounds and industries that we come from, each participant brought with them different yet rich life experiences. This diversity really opened up my mind and take on different perspectives. As Confucius says: 三人之行，必有我师 which vaguely means "we will always learn something when we are in the company of others". Coming from a relatively niche part of the financial industry, this interaction with my group mates from different industries serves as a good opportunity to reflect on how silo-ed one is after years working on the trading floor. Like the Chinese saying, 读万卷书，不如行万里路 - nothing beats learning from people as compared to reading from books and market reports.
And then, there are my 2 trainers. Which cannot be more different in their styles and approaches. I have re-learnt that there are indeed many ways to skin the cat. Observing my trainers in action became a learning experience itself. Scenes of Leonardo DiCaprio's "Inceptions"-like scenarios keep repeating themselves during the course as we had role-plays on how to do role-plays and I even made a presentation on "how to make a good presentation" (within a course that teaches good presentation skills!).
So now, I am proud and happy to say that I too, have joined the many that have been graded Chicago. I would like thank my trainers Darren Tjia and Wendy Wan for their time and patience as well as my classmates for their support and camaraderie that have made this a memorable experience. Something to share as I continue on my new journey as a trainer and consultant.
Never... stop... learning.
