Impressed with your knowledge!

Ricky's knowledge and understanding of financial markets has always impressed me, both from a technical and fundamental perspective. It is therefore no surprise that his trading track record is so outstanding and I'd trust him with my money any day.

I selected Ricky out of a batch of 50 MBA graduates to join the ANZ Grindlays Treasury team handling FX Spot, Swaps &Depos in 1991. He was a keen enthusiastic trader and was soon adept at trading both spots & swaps. He loved the challenge of figuring out where markets were headed, and he was an integral part of the team that built the institutional market making profile of Grindlays as one of the Top 2 banks in India. Ricky excelled at any task given to him; loves trading; and most importantly is an excellent team player. He will go out of his way to help his colleagues and was always a loyal and reliable person. I would feel very safe as far as investing money with him is concerned, and have no doubt that any portfolio under his direct supervision will consistently outperform.

I have known Ricky for many years and that goes back from the time he was a fresh graduate on the dealing floor. Ricky is and has always been a very high energy, enthusiastic and 100% engaged in every aspect of markets - from dealing techniques and technicals to risk management. He is a man of many talents and has his love for his family and giving back to society as strong on his agenda as is his passion about financial markets.

It has been an honour working with Ricky at NBD. He is a multi asset class player with a special emphasis on Forex Trading. He was an asset to NBD & a substantial contributor to the proprietary trading books of the bank. His greatest strength is the innate ability to spot trend changes &capitalise on those moves. His technical skills are impeccable with special focus on candlesticks. His trades have a sound fundamental reasoning backed by technicals for appropriate entry & exit points. Its difficult to sum his qualities in a para. All I can say is GRAB HIM for asset allocation & delivering alpha!

Met Ricky in 1992 when I joined ANZ Grindlays Bank in their Investment Banking Operations area. What immediately struck about Ricky were his unlimited energy levels and the unending desire to learn more and deliver more. A very strong extrovert personality, Ricky soon graduated into a young currency and money markets trader in Mumbai in the market of the early nineties. He displayed not only strong market making skills with consistent trading revenues, but at the same time a balanced focus on stop loss management and building up profits in a disciplined manner.

Having known Ricky for many years, i've had the pleasure of being privy to his wealth of knowledge of financial markets, commodities and real estate, including many others. His expertise and track record in trading currencies and other financial instruments while mitigating risks and ability to separate emotions from trading decisions is commendable. Hence when he started his new venture, Trading Portfolio, it was a natural decision to work with them. The attention to detail and the transparency that they consistently strive to provide sets them apart from the rest of money managers out there. Most importantly however, having known Ricky in a personal capacity, i have always admired him for his ability to fight for what is right and support the weak and this trait including others in his value system is what makes him a genuinely good human being who i trust and respect. His Top Qualities are: An Expert with Great Results and High Integrity.

Ricky was one of the most technically proficient people I have ever worked with. His product knowledge was immense and he used this to very good effect in his trading. He was also an outstanding 'man-manager', who never offered me anything other than total support. He was very open to new trading ideas and encouraged innovation and 'out of the box' thinking from his team. It was a pleasure working for Ricky!

As a person whom I have been associated with for over a decade I do appreciate the skills that Ricky possesses and brings to bear in his professional role. The good understanding of financial markets as well as the leadership that he provides to the team does make a difference. At no point does Ricky allow his "can do " approach affect the risk /control perspective that he has to integrate into his role. A great team player Ricky makes a difference to any group that he is in and can be counted on to deliver the goods in any situation that he may be pitchforked into.

I had the privilege of working with Ricky in my roles of Programme Manager and later Head of Market Risk. As Deputy Treasurer, Ricky was the driving force behind the large change programme that replaced the Bank's legacy Treasury system with the industry standard Kondor+ Trading and Risk Management system. On Risk Management, Ricky was instrumental in setting up the Treasury Middle Office and Product Control functions for managing financial and operational risk of the Bank's multi-billion dollar diversified investment portfolio that the board had entrusted to him.

I got to know Ricky as a client first in 2010 and I must admit the efficient, professional manner in which he deals with us.

With his years of experience and expertise in the Financial Markets, Ricky continues to impress me with the accuracy of his buy/sell/hold recommendations.

While Ricky & I have been family friends for nearly a decade, I have always found him to have a critical and insightful mind, especially when it comes to financial markets. Most important to me is that Ricky has proved himself time and time again to be a dedicated, trustworthy and loyal person.
