Ryan Yap

Executive Summary:

I am an ambitious individual who is especially keen on exploring the financial industry. I am also extremely willing to learn, upskill myself, broaden my horizons and make new connections.

Currently, I am a financial advisor at Advisors Alliance Group and a freelance writer for a renowned local stock investment website. Additionally, I publish stock analysis articles for my own self-managed personal finance blog as well. 

I will be matriculating into NTU’s Double Degree Programme in Business and Accountancy in August 2023.

Moreover, I have won awards in global stock pitch competitions and am especially interested in learning more about the stock investment field.

Being well equipped with strong interpersonal, critical thinking and writing skills, I hope to be able to make value-added contributions.
