Ernest 15 Percent - About Ernest Lim

Ernest Lim

I am Ernest Lim, a passionate investor, trader, and remisier with 20 years of experience in the financial markets. I am a Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA) charterholder and a Chartered Accountant (CA) of Singapore.

I began my career at GIC Special Investment, followed by investment roles at Legacy Capital Group Pte Ltd, a boutique asset management and private equity firm, and later as a fixed income investment manager. These experiences laid the foundation for my current role as a remisier—where I have the privilege of combining my analytical skills with my deep interest in equities, complete with a practical touch and trader’s sense.

This blog is a space where I share insights on market trends, sector outlooks, specific company write-ups, and technical analysis. While some content is published here, I prioritise providing my clients with timely, exclusive write-ups and data-driven commentary. Hence, certain insights may be released on this platform with a time lag and in brevity.

My comments have been regularly featured in mainstream media including Bloomberg, The Business Times, Channel NewsAsia, Lianhe Zaobao, Mediacorp, TODAY, and The Straits Times. I also contribute to several financial portals and am a frequent commentator on market developments.

For a more complete profile, feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn.

I wish to nominate my remisier, Mr Ernest Lim, for the above award.

Ernest has been my remisier since 2012. He played a vital role on my wealth building journey in the stock market by guiding me through market cycles, especially in times of volality, leveraging his keen sense of timing and market insights. As an investor and trader himself, Ernest has shared with clients his portfolio actions, some trading/investing ideas as well as indepth insights into SGX listed companies. In addition, he also provides astute information on markets in Hong Kong, China and the USA. With investing being his passion, he said that “one of his greatest satisfaction is to identify the right stock and see my clients benefit from my call.”

I would like to highlight some important examples of Ernest’s value added services to my investment experience. He has provided me with:

1. Regular market updates with his personal opinion on the market outlook and SGX listed companies backed by research, analysts reports, manual compilation and statistics, and expert technical analysis of companies based on charts.

2. Writeups on companies based on fundamental analysis and 1 to 1 meetings with a key company manager to better understand their business operations and their prospects.

3. Holistic portfolio planning by monitoring my investments, track market movements and advice on crucial decisions on corporate actions.

4. Human touch in terms of taking time to meet up with me for coffee and enriching my learning experience.

5. A good perspective to help me make more informed decisions in my investment journey based on my financial standing and risk propensity.

Ernest is smart, dedicated and passionate in his work and I, too, have benefitted from his value added services and profited from his trading ideas. He contributes and plays an important role in an industry which is challenging and competitive today. He is well respected for his views and opinions and has been featured in various mainstream and online media such as Bloomberg, Business Times, Straits Times, Lianhe Zaobao, MoneyFM89. and The Edge, Singapore, to name a few.

In view of the his above strengths and accomplishments, I strongly nominate Mr Ernest Lim for the EXSA award.

Lim Kuo Siong

Ernest is a very diligent and committed remisier who provides excellent support and services to his clients.

Ernest will conduct and share his research, analysis and notes of meeting with management of listed companies allowing clients like us, who do not have much time to research, access to reliable and timely updates.

Whenever I need his help in resolving issues with my trades, he will promptly advise and attend to it. He also helps to watch out for my portfolio and alert me on significant price changes/movements in the invested companies. He is the only remisier whom I have come across that really takes the effort to communicate regularly through daily updates. To be able to do this consistently certainly requires commitment, and much time and effort.

Hence, I strongly recommend to nominate Ernest for the EXSA award! It will be a well deserved recognition for him.

I have known and worked with Ernest with more than a decade.

This guy has been rather boring.

This guy gives well thought out opinions, and you can trust that they are honest.

You can tell he really loves his craft. And he’s really good at it.

He’s been more reliable than my 15 year old Toyota.

This guy deserves more than an award. Please give him a nice fat ang pow for the immeasurable good he’s done for the reputation of his profession.
