It’s probably a misconception that investment trainers make a lot of money. At least I don’t. The pandemic dampened our revenue by more than two-thirds from my peak in 2019. Unlike most, I don’t get paid on a monthly basis, my latest paycheck was $20,083.83, but it was a culmination of three months’ worth of work. If you spread my revenue over three months, I earn less than most professionals in my age bracket. A monthly paycheck of about $6,600 is less than a fresh Computer Science Graduate from NUS who can land a job in banking or a large MNC Tech company. Even so, some may argue that my lifestyle is still good as I have complete control over my time and can wake up anytime on a weekday. $10,000 to be invested in student-built portfolios This is a unique selling proposition of my ERM program that I don’t expect my competitors to match. I’ll teach and equip my students to pick dividend stocks during our actual class.
