David Yap
Mappfin, MacqDavid Yap has over thirty years of experience in the financial market working in various Sales and Trading desks of major Global banks and Financial Institutions. David started banking at Dresdner Bank where he managed the Deutschmark Money Market book. Together with active Foreign Exchange and US Treasuries trading for the proprietary trading book, his tenure at Dresdner Bank gave him a broad insight into the global market, especially the European and US markets.
At Citibank, David started as FX trader on G7 focusing primarily on London and NYK markets before moving on to Corporate Sales where his trading experience was required to boost up a young and hungry Treasury Sales team. Combining trading expertise with natural sales ability yielded desired results with even the most sophisticated and demanding corporate and institutional clients. As Director of Sales, David wore two hats of heading up local Professional Clients group and head of Regional FX Plus (advisory). Part of his responsibilities involved conducting training on FX for internal and external clients on a regular basis.
David’s last banking job was at Standard Chartered where he headed Corporate FX Sales. Once again, in combining many years of trading experience with sales, he proved to be a valuable banker to clients with his market perspective, hedging and trading advisory. The four pillars of Sales and Trading that David uses are Fundamental, Macroeconomic, Flow and especially Technical Analysis.
A Master of Applied Finance from Macquarie University, he combines a solid financial market academic background effectively with Sales and Trading expertise for an all-round resume, which he hopes to share with the class in a most indelible and effective way.
