Q&A with Dave Heng

If you were a college student again, what would you do differently to prepare you for your field?

Dave Heng

Senior Equity Analyst Covering China

I would start looking at businesses much earlier and be more curious about the world around me. Reading much more broadly beyond finance will help as well.

What are some mistakes that you have made in your career? How did you deal with it and what have you learned from them?

Dave Heng

Senior Equity Analyst Covering China

I have made plenty of mistakes, investing and otherwise. Would love to share them so others can learn from it. To deal with mistakes, you first have to adopt an open mindset which will help in truly internalising the lessons from them.
