8I Holdings

8I Holdings is an investment business focusing on investments in listed securities and real property development investments; and a financial education and training seminar business operating in Singapore and Malaysia.

The 8I Holdings was established in September 2008 by Messrs Chee Kuan Tat and Clive Tan (being the Executive Directors) with the primary purpose of conducting a financial education and training seminar business based upon investment techniques commonly referred to as “value investing”. The genesis of the business, and its focus on the principles of “value investing”, were based upon the Executive Directors own adherence to the principles of “value investing” in undertaking investments in a personal capacity and the accompanying positive returns that they generated. Since commencing operations, the financial education and training seminar business has experienced significant growth, with the 8I Holdings establishing itself as one of the leading financial education seminar operators in Singapore.

In seeking to diversify the business of the 8I Holdings, the company expanded its scope of operations by actively applying the “value investing” techniques espoused in its financial education and training seminars to undertaking listed securities investments and trading on its own account.
