Why I’m Ending 2025 Grateful

In partnership with

As we step into a brand new year, I just want to start by saying an early Happy New Year to you and your loved ones.

Before charging ahead into 2026, I thought it would be meaningful to pause for a moment and reflect on what 2025 has been like - both for me personally, and for InvestKaki as a platform.

A Year of Change and Building

At the beginning of 2025, I made a deliberate decision to pivot away from SmallCapAsia.com and focus on building InvestKaki.

That shift wasn’t made lightly.

InvestKaki represents something I’ve wanted to do for a long time - to share my investing framework more openly, especially my 5M investing strategy, and to talk more deeply about US and Hong Kong stocks beyond just SG small/mid cap stocks.

That also led to the launch of SuperKakis, my premium membership, which has been a meaningful milestone for me.

Stepping Out of My Comfort Zone

For the longest time, I was mainly doing YouTube long-form videos.

This year, I consciously pushed myself to explore multiple platforms - LinkedIn, IG Reels, YT shorts - with the goal of widening reach while keeping the message consistent.

One result that genuinely surprised me was LinkedIn. At the start of the year, my LinkedIn presence was almost non-existent.

Fast forward to the end of 2025, and the platform recorded 471,478 impressions in a single year, reaching over 230,000 members.

That growth meant a lot to me because it reinforced something simple - that progress can happen just by being consistent and sharing what I genuinely care about in investing.

Giving Back to the Community

2025 has been a year I’m deeply grateful for.

I found stability in my professional life, became more consistent with content creation, and most importantly, had the chance to travel and spend quality time with my family.

That’s why I’m running a FREE Happy New Year 2026 Giveaway as a small gesture of appreciation (over 20 people have already joined in the fun!)

Looking Ahead

There’s more I’m excited to work on in 2026 - new content formats, deeper investing discussions, and a few projects I’ve been quietly planning.

Thank you for reading, for engaging, and for trusting me with your time this past year. InvestKaki exists because of you.

Wishing you and your family a healthy, fulfilling, and rewarding 2026.

Cheers,
