Welcome!

I am an economist and an investment manager at Mogao Capital, a private investment fund that specializes in global value investing.  Prior to my investing adventure, I was a professor of economics at Copenhagen Business School, in Denmark.  For a brief period, I worked at two leading quantitiative investment firms: PanAgora Asset Managment and State Street Global Advisors, both located in Boston, United States.

I hold a Ph.D. degree in International Economics and Finance from Brandeis University.  I received my Master’s degree in Economics from Baylor University, and Bachelor’s degree from Zhengzhou Institute of Aeronautics.

I was born in Chengdu, a charming city in southwestern China, and an ancient city with rich history.  I lived all my youngster years there until I went off to college at eighteen.  In college, I met my future wife, Josephine, and we soon got married after graduation.  Then, we started out a journey abroad.  But we didn’t know then it would take full sixteen years!

Looking back, all in all, it has been some really good years, with lots of fun memories. I am grateful that we had the chance to travel this far.  It was a heck of a circle around the globe, from China to the US to Europe to Hong Kong.  I am happy to be back closer to home.
