Money and Me: APAC Tourism Trends with Ken Wong, Visa

What if you could own a slice of a prime building in Singapore for the price of a holiday - and trade it like a stock?

In this episode, hosted by Michelle Martin, we unpack whether real estate tokenisation is a breakthrough or just a buzzword.

What do you actually own? How does tokenised property differ from a REIT?

How as an investor can you tell  whether liquidity is real or theoretical?

Does Singapore’s strong REIT market make tokenisation redundant - or is there a genuine access advantage?

To what extent is tokenisation of property an opportunity in Singapore - or still a wait-and-see experiment?

Michelle Martin speaks with Keith Ong, CEO, RealVantage for his view on the issues.

Can you really call yourself the world’s biggest retailer if your edge comes from the cloud?

In this episode, hosted by Michelle Martin with Ryan Huang, we unpack how Amazon dethroned Walmart in 2025 revenue - but only thanks to AWS.

Strip out cloud, and the retail crown looks very different.

We examine Walmart’s softer profit print, its quiet online gains, and why its stock is beating Amazon year-to-date.

In Singapore, DBS upgrades Genting Singapore amid strong cash reserves and a constructive gaming environment.

Plus: Sea Ltd & Google’s AI tie-up, Nestlé’s ice cream exit, New Balance vs Nike, OUE REIT & UOB’s One Raffles Place sale, and the STI’s charge past 5,000.

Hear about: Amazon | Walmart | AWS | DBS | Genting Singapore | Sea Ltd | Google | Nestlé | New Balance | Nike | OUE REIT | UOB | Yangzijiang Shipbuilding | Mapletree Logistics Trust

If AI can replace junior lawyers overnight, what does that mean for your portfolio tomorrow?

In this episode, hosted by Michelle Martin, with guest Arun Pai, Associate Partner, Monk’s Hill Ventures  we unpack how an AI model from Anthropic is unsettling legal firms and deepening the AI scare trade across tech markets.

Why did billions evaporate in a single session - was it panic, or a recognition that business models are being rewritten?

We explore whether value now lies in proprietary data, ecosystem dominance, or AI infrastructure control.
In Asia, Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani and Larry Fink of BlackRock are urging Indians to pivot from gold into domestic equities - could this fuel a 1990s-style retail boom?

We assess India’s growth outlook and whether capital rotation signals explosive expansion ahead.
