Money and Me: Hearing AI investment products being talked up? Here's how to look beyond hype

As 2026 begins, Money and Me takes a moment of introspection - looking not just at how much you made, but how you spent.

What did money add to your life in 2025 - and what quietly drained your peace, health, or joy?

Hosted by Michelle Martin, this episode features Christopher Tan, CEO of Providend, who introduces a powerful reframing: Return on Spending, not just Return on Investing.

From a $10,000 wedding anniversary to resisting ego-driven purchases, Christopher shares how values - not status - guided his big financial decisions.

The conversation explores how spending today shapes the future story of our health, ageing, and relationships.

Listeners are invited to do a simple year-end money audit - no spreadsheets required - before setting their goals for the year ahead.

Raymond Cheng explains why China’s energy and infrastructure giants have delivered strong returns even as oil prices fell.

We explore how Beijing’s policy reset has effectively programmed state firms to return more cash to shareholders.

Why Hong Kong-listed H-shares may offer higher yields than identical A-shares in Shanghai — and why that matters now.
