BUSINESSPERSON at Heart
Nicole believes that in order to be successful at managing money and risk, you should have experience in value creation and a strong understanding of accounting. Nicole has a passion for business and is devoted to creating value. It was this passion that allowed her to build a diverse personal portfolio of investments outside the public equity markets in: real estate, private loans, precious metals and commodity future contracts (currencies, crude oil, precious metals).
Business Networks
Through her personal investments, Nicole has developed solid relationships with people in various fields.
MEDIA
Nicole believes that the best investment opportunities arise in turbulent times. She adheres to Warren Buffet's philosophy of being fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful. This was evident in her interview with Investor's Digest at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic on March 18, 2020.
Charity & Support
Nicole understands the challenges faced by single parents. Because of this, she's particularly sensitive to the needs of single seniors, single parents, and vulnerable children. It’s her dream to build Navroc Foundation to support her causes.
She’s personally donated to many charities such as World Vision, Second Harvest, Society of Saint Vincent De Paul, Covenant House, and Ernestine’s Women’s Shelter.
