Meet The FTAG Team

A team that never quits and always on your side.

Caleb Chew, FMVA

Principal

Caleb’s career has spanned numerous specialties and countries, including Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Macau, Australia, and the US. Prior to FTAG, he spent 4 years at Dong Yan Investment (Shanghai) Limited, where he managed the Dong Yan Investment Funds I & II and sought to maximise total returns by allocating portfolios based on macro views of the Chinese market, while balancing the need for liquidity for opportunistic trades as Fund Operations Manager.

With a keen interest in the financial markets and technology, Caleb injects a creative vision to the finance industry, an often-overlooked aspect usually lacking in the highly structured and inflexible discipline.

Caleb is a certified Financial Modeling and Valuation Analyst (FMVA) and holds a Bachelor of Mass Communications in Public Relations and Journalism from the University of Southern Queensland. He attended the Oxford Fintech Program and Oxford Artificial Intelligence Programme from the University of Oxford Saïd Business School.
