This formative experience planted the seeds of resilience and foresight in Kelvin, igniting a resolve to build a life of financial stability and empowerment. He recognized early on the value of disciplined financial planning, prioritizing capital preservation and long-term growth, and became determined to create intergenerational wealth through strategic, value-driven investment.
