Personal finance and investing has seen significant changes in the last century. Technology has saved us all an immense amount of time and money because everything is available through a click of a mouse, or the tap of a screen. It has also imparted a sense of control over the information you have, opened doors to forums for discussion and changed the way you budget and save, or spend your money. Vincent Fong of Fintech News Malaysia joins Sim Wie Boon for a discussion on the relationship between technology and investing. To learn more please visit www.franklintempleton.com.my/helloprogress.
