Aiden
Shing

From a young age, thanks to his close relationship with his dad, Aiden was always extremely passionate about finance. He found the concept of money fascinating and loved learning about the banking system. His Dad, who worked in banking, told him hiw banks helped create and supply money - to make dreams come true. He looked around. Buildings, cars, and homes all made possible through loans from the bank. This made him aspire to navigate down the path of finance. To be a dream maker. 

 

However, as he grew older, Aiden discovered the ugly side of finance. Pyramid schemes, pump and dumps; FTX, and Bernie Madoff. He saw people lose their life savings and descend into debt. He saw the institutions that made the dreams also destroy them. He saw poverty caused by corrupt firms taking advantage of people, persuading them to make risky and unwise investments. 

 

As a result of seeing the impact of this sort of predatory finance, especially in his hometown, Aiden has understood the importance of financial literacy and dedicated himself to learning and teaching others about financial literacy - to help others fulfill their dreams through finance. To educate people on how to stay out of debt and invest whilst avoiding potential risks. To be a dream maker. 

 

In the future Aiden wishes to continue pursuing his dreams to enter the world of finance where he and other like minded people would work together and invest in companies that bring revolutionary change to society. In his free time Aiden also enjoys working on his YouTube channel as well as doing research into stocks which he will potentially invest in. He also enjoys traveling and meeting different people and experiencing unique cultures.
