His last senior corporate role was as a portfolio strategist and managing director of the International Business Department at Maybank Kim Eng Securities in (Thailand).

As the founder and current CEO of A. Stotz Investment Research (ASIR), his company provides institutional and high net worth investors with ready-to-invest stock portfolios that aim to beat the benchmark through superior stock selection.

ASIR also provides institutional investors and fund managers with financial services such as valuation, stock selection, and portfolio creation in Asian markets, based on his proprietary FVMR methodology.
