IN THIS excellent DBS Bank special, its Chief Investment Officer, Lim Say Boon, 55, delves on the 8 strategies for a broken world.

As global markets continue to be pushed and pulled in a broad sideways range, the world is in a sense "broken".

The West, struggling with deleveraging, is flooding the system with cheap money. The East, in the midst of rapid growth, is struggling with inflation.

In this video, DBS shares its insights on strategies that investors could take on to deal with this "broken world".

An articulate speaker, Say Boon joined DBS as Chief Investment Officer for its wealth management business in 2010.

Prior to that, he was with Standard Chartered Bank, where he was its Chief Investment Strategist for its wealth management and private banking groups. He was also co-head of Standard Chartered Bank’s Chief Investment and Advisory Office.

In a career spanning 28 years, Lim has held various senior positions in investment research and private banking/wealth management.

Prior to Standard Chartered Bank, he had held positions including Director, Portfolio Counseling with Citigroup Private Bank; Head of Investment Research for OCBC Securities; regional Research Manager with Societe Generale-Crosby Securities; Director of Research for Standard Chartered Indonesia; and Research Manager for Standard Chartered Securities Singapore.

He also held senior positions in the financial media in Australia in the 1990s - as finance editor for The Herald-Sun and Sunday Herald-Sun newspapers.
