This week on The Leong Form, we’re talking about money through the seasons of life.

Our guest on The Leong Form is 𝗚𝗼𝗵 𝗞𝗮𝘆 𝗬𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗴, Chief Investment Officer at Tokio Marine Life Insurance Singapore. With more than 17 years in financial services, he’s worked in equity analysis, fund management, and investment products management and advisory. Before all that, he started out as an auditor.

We hear how Kay Yiong’s family’s attitudes to money laid the groundwork to dispensing his duties as CIO.

This episode, we explore:
🔹 How his growing-up years shaped his relationship with money, and his first brush with investing
🔹 What “having enough” really means
🔹 The analogy of flying kites and drones
🔹 Telling market noise from real signals
🔹 What to make of wars, geopolitics and AI when you’re investing
🔹 Why he believes it’s more blessed to give than to receive

Building a family beyond biology.

𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗟𝗶𝗺 (@marklimsl) and his wife, 𝗦𝘂𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗺 (@limfamilyhomeschool), have done just that over the years, opening their hearts and home to children through adoption and fostering.

As parents, they have experienced the joys of building a family as well as the uncertainties of loving children whose futures are not entirely in their hands. The journey also involves deeply personal questions their children may confront like identity, belonging and knowing where they come from.

This week on The Leong Form, we sit down with two caregivers navigating one of life's heaviest seasons: caring for ageing parents.

𝗙𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮 𝗡𝗮𝗵 (@fleachoo) has been the primary caregiver to both her mum and dad for the past few years, handling everything from big decisions to daily schedules. As she puts it plainly: "Circumstances decided this for me."

𝗔𝗹𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘁 𝗟𝗲𝗲 (@specialbakescc) stepped into caregiving for his parents when his father's condition took a turn. As the only son, he leads his siblings through decisions while providing hands-on support himself, all while upskilling to better acquaint himself with his parents' conditions in order to better guide his family.

In this episode, we talk about:
- 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘶𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘦 "𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘵𝘴" 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴
