Lawrence Lee, MBA, CFA Lawrence has 20 years of working experience in Investments, Banking and Consultancy. Prior to being a Consultant, Lawrence worked as Vice President, Portfolio Manager in SG Asset Management (part of the Societe Generale Group). Having been a Professional Investor for a decade, Lawrence understands the mindset of investors and what they look for before investing in companies. This enables him to present companies in ways that would attract investors. Lawrence also understands the different investment preferences and styles of investors and accurately identifies investment targets that are specifically suited to them. Valuing companies is an integral part of Portfolio Management as Professional Investors look for good stocks at attractive valuation to add to their portfolio. Being grounded in valuation techniques come in useful when there is a need to value companies for the purpose of inviting equity investors. Lawrence is able to help his clients to get good value for their companies, yet not value their companies excessively as to deter investors. Before joining the Investment industry, Lawrence worked as a Corporate Banking Manager in a Singapore Bank. One of the main responsibilities of this job is to extend bank funding to companies. As banks are generally more risk averse than equity investors, this experience in a bank helps him to be mindful of risks and how risks can be mitigated to attract funders.
