Baiduri Capital welcomed Baiduri Invest customers and invited guests to an exclusive investor session titled “2026 Investment Outlook: How to Build Long-Term Wealth Globally” at the Mutiara Ballroom, Radisson Hotel last week. Held in collaboration with Beansprout, the session reflects Baiduri Capital’s ongoing commitment to providing clients with relevant market insights and expert perspectives to support informed investment decisions.
The evening featured Gerald Wong, CFA, Founder and CEO of Beansprout—one of Singapore’s leading investment insights platforms. With over 13 years of experience in investment advisory, Gerald previously served as Head of Singapore Securities Research at Credit Suisse, where he was ranked the top Singapore research analyst by Institutional Investor for five consecutive years from 2016 to 2020. A strong advocate for financial literacy, he actively supports retail investors through curated content, educational programmes, and his work on the CFA Society Singapore university outreach committee.
Known for his clear, data-driven approach, Gerald shared his analysis of global market trends heading into 2026 and highlighted practical strategies for building resilient, long-term portfolios across different market cycles.
Speaking at the event, Brian Wong, General Manager of Baiduri Capital, said:
“Our aim has always been simple—to empower our customers to invest with confidence. By bringing in experienced voices like Gerald, we hope to provide timely perspectives that help investors make clearer, better-informed decisions on their financial journeys.”
He continued, “Baiduri Invest was designed to open access to global markets. Sessions like these go hand-in-hand with that mission, offering investors the opportunity to learn directly from experts who understand the realities of navigating changing economic conditions.”
The event concluded with an interactive Q&A session, where participants explored topics ranging from sector trends to long-term wealth-building strategies.
