I don't know whether how many people will agree with me but I can say this on the basis of my experience with many people that they will take a guy seriously, or want to have a connection with him, if he runs a well doing business/company or if he is in investing/trading profession then he have to be some hedge fund manager based in Singapore.
Then the people will drool because the word phoren and big sounding word like hedge fund is attached with you.
