As an investment group focusing on China market, Nordic Asia provides the Nordic investors with a convenient and efficient investment portfolio in China, and help them catch the opportunities in the fast growing economy in China.

I gained skills and experiences from my past job as a sell-side equity research analyst, especially in fundamental analysis, financial modeling, and industry landscape analysis. Currently, my role in Nordic Asia is investment analyst in China technology sector. I brought my research structure and professional skills of equity research in technology hardware sector from my past work experiences, and enlarged my coverage to the pan-technology areas. In Nordic Asia, I provide opinions and researche on stock picking, deep dive, and industry trend to help portfolio manager on investment decision making.

In my view, Nordic Asia is a unique investment group, focusing on the investment opportunities on China consumption upgrade and helping Nordic investors to access to a good investment portfolio in China market. My vision for Nordic Asia is to become the largest and greatest long term investment firm for Nordic investors to invest in China and to provide Nordic investors with deep insights and opinions on China market.
