The new establishment

The next generation of investors and business leaders have taken over the reins from their parents. How they carry on will determine the sustainability of their future.

SINGAPORE (Aug 19): Bank analyst Benjamin Goh is realistic about how he and his family allocate funds for investments. “ESG [investments with environmental, social and governance factors] is not a priority,” he tells The Edge Singapore in a recent interview.

Goh, 24, is more interested in the returns that tech stocks can give, and he put 15% to 20%, or about $30,000, of his starter portfolio in Apple shares. His parents, as premier private banking clients of Oversea Chinese Banking Corp, have a more diversified approach.
