Using artificial intelligence to help banks dig up dirt on non-public companies in Singapore, Hong Kong and China. That’s what our guest for today aims to do. 


Founded in 2023, Inriskable uses AI and alternative data sources, such as company information, litigations, news and directors information to help professionals identify credit risks and information regarding these private companies. 

Through AI-driven analysis and data-driven decision making, the firm hopes to help professionals make more informed judgments when assessing the business information and financial capability of SMEs. 

The firm said this would enhance risk management and sales prospecting processes and improve the accuracy of identifying potential defaults or fraudulent activities. 

So far, Inriskable holds 800 million pieces of company data across regions, and has over 280,000 global unique users. But how is the firm monetising on its user and database? What numbers are we looking at when it boils down to valuation? 

Speaking of valuation, the global Regtech market was valued at US$12.54 billion in 2023 by Spherical Insights & Consulting, with that number expected to balloon to  US$81.48 billion by 2033. We are talking about a CAGR of 20.58% during the forecast period. 

But how does Inriskable see itself within the global regtech market and what will be the key drivers of growth for the firm looking ahead?

On Under the Radar, The Evening Runway’s finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Megan Chau, CEO, Co-founder of Inriskable.

Under the Radar: Inriskable on helping professionals dig up information on non-listed companies in Singapore, Hong Kong and China

Today we’re going to take you through the ins and outs of a leading independent digital wealth platform in Asia that provides bespoke investment solutions for personal savings, private wealth and even public pension (say in the case of CPF and SRS in Singapore). 

Founded in 2017, our guest for today Endowus operates out of both Singapore and Hong Kong with a vision to help investors grow their wealth holistically and offer what it describes as conflict-free advice and access to institutional financial solutions, through a personalised digital wealth experience. 

Fast forward to today, the firm works with over 80 global fund managers to provide access to investment strategies across public and private markets, hedge funds and alternatives. 

The digital wealth platform had also in October 2025 crossed US$10 billion in assets under management after seeing record inflows and assets from Hong Kong customers tripling. The firm also noted that its alternative business surged to over US$500 million. 

So what’s driving the numbers and what are the growth trends for the firm with Federal Reserve interest rates set to fall further this year?

At the same time, Endowus also raised over US$70 million that same month, in a funding round led by Illuminate Financial and joined by existing investors including Citi Ventures and various Asian family offices. 

According to Tech Node Global, the firm said at the time that funds raised will be used to help the firm scale further, and to zoom in on creating retirement solutions and pension platforms in Singapore and Hong Kong. Resources will also be channelled to AI innovation, new B2B solutions for financial advisers and further geographic expansion. 

But how far are we seeing that play out? Where is Endowus moving into next and how will the role of its Singapore operations evolve?
 
Meanwhile, robo-advisory AutoWealth had in January 2026 become the second digital adviser for the CPF Investment Scheme after Endowus. So what does the move mean for Endowus then and will it double down on efforts to grow its market share right here in the Lion City?

On Under the Radar, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Samuel Rhee, Co-founder, Chairman and Group CIO, Endowus.

Semiconductors are the invisible foundation of our digital world – powering everything from data centres and electric vehicles to smartphones and even satellites. 

But behind the global chip ecosystem lies precision engineering firms that make tools and parts used in the manufacturing process. 

And our guest for today, Micro-Mechanics, is one of them. Founded in 1983, and listed on the SGX-Sesdaq in Singapore in 2003, the company designs and manufactures a range of consumable tools and parts used in the assembly and testing of semiconductors. 

The company also engages in the contract manufacturing of precision parts and tools used in process-critical applications for the semiconductor wafer-fabrication and other high-technology industries. 

In July 2008, the listing and quotation of Micro-Mechanics’ shares were upgraded to the SGX Mainboard. 

Today, Micro-Mechanics’ boasts a headcount of 450 globally, with five factories located in Singapore, China, Malaysia and the Philippines, as well as in Silicon Valley in the US. 

Micro-Mechanics is a company that we want to talk about right now, given how ongoing trade tensions and tariff spat between the US and China have thrusted the semiconductor industry and supply chain into the spotlight.

Despite global headwinds, Micro-Mechanics said it was somewhat sheltered given how it had plants set up in both China and the US. 

So how is the firm capitalising on its relative advantage in the global semiconductor supply chain right now, and what are the growth opportunities present within the industry right now?

How does the firm assess the role of its presence in Singapore, and the vibrancy of the local stock market in boosting its valuation?

In this Special episode of Under the Radar, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Kyle Borch, CEO, Micro-Mechanics.

Today we’re going to turn the clock back to the 1800s to share with you the story of a young man, Georges Nagelmackers, who had just fallen out of love. 

Like some of us who might travel abroad to take a breather, Nagelmackers fled to the US, where he discovered railroads with the world’s first sleeping cars. 

The enterprising Belgian engineer decided to take that idea back to Europe, where he would launch luxurious trains leading to the Gates of the Orient. 

That’s right, we are talking about the Orient Express, or the luxurious train experience provider that would later be further popularised by a suspense novel by writer Agatha Christie in the early 1930s. 

Then called the CIWL (Compagnie Internationale des Wagon-Lits), or The International Sleeping Car company, Orient Express’ inaugural trip happened in October 1883 from Paris to Constantinople (or the modern day Istanbul), redefining the meaning of long distance travel for luxury travelers. 

As we know, the development of air travel has changed the way people move between places. That dealt a blow to CIWL, and eventually, the Orient Express made its last direct trip between Paris and Istanbul in 1977. 

That same year, the SNCF or the French National Railway Company acquired the Orient Express brand, and the last Orient-Express train left Vienna for Strasbourg in December 2009. 

But hope is not lost. Nearly 140 years after making its first trip, Accor Hotels fully bought over and redeveloped the brand in 2022, expanding the portfolio of Orient Express to include hotels and even yacht sailings. 

As for the original Orient Express carriages – they will be back on railway tracks in 2027, though details are still scant at the moment. So, what should we know about the Orient Express portfolio of hospitality solutions today, and what is next for the firm? 

In this episode of Under the Radar “SPECIALS”, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Gilda Perez-Alvarado, Group Chief Strategy Officer of Accor & CEO of Orient Express.
