Manish Singh, CFA — CEO
Global Macro Investor | CIO | Multi-Asset Strategist As a Chief Investment Officer, I bring over 20 years of experience managing discretionary and advisory portfolios across equities, fixed income, derivatives, and structured products. My philosophy is grounded in first principles — not forecasts alone. I don’t attempt to time cycles. When analysing macro events, I focus on the reaction function. Too often, investors fixate on the surprise itself — whether man-made or accidental — and overlook how policymakers, institutions, and markets are likely to respond. Ultimately, I focus on how capital compounds over time: how incentives shape markets, how volatility creates opportunity, and how disciplined risk management keeps investors invested long enough for compounding to work. At the core of my philosophy is a simple idea: markets reward patience, process, and adaptability—not prediction. Volatility is not a flaw in the system; it is the mechanism through which returns are earned. The task is not to avoid risk, but to understand it, price it correctly, and manage it intelligently. #Long-term thinking beats short-term certainty #Process outperforms prediction #Risk is the price of return—not something to be eliminated #Markets evolve; intellectual flexibility is essential Over the past 13 years, the structured equity strategy I manage has delivered +11.7% annualised returns, net of fees and without leverage. **Past performance is not indicative of future results** ----- Beyond investment management, I actively contribute to public discourse on capital markets, macroeconomics, and geopolitics. For over a decade, I’ve been a regular guest on CNBC, Bloomberg, and ET Now, frequently quoted in financial media, and invited to speak at conferences, roundtables, and universities. My background includes an undergraduate degree in Engineering, a Master’s in Finance, experience at UBS Investment Bank and Société Générale, and the CFA Charterholder designation. Good investing and good policy both start with clear thinking. Whether managing capital or contributing to public debate, my work is anchored in clarity, discipline, and intellectual honesty. If you’d like to partner on investments, host a discussion, or invite me to speak, I’d be glad to connect.
