After a short stint back in London, Grant relocated once again, this time to New York, where he spent 7 years.
Subsequent postings have taken him to Hong Kong, Sydney, Singapore, and the Cayman Islands. Currently, he is a senior advisor to Matterhorn Asset Management AG in Switzerland, and a portfolio and strategy advisor to Vulpes Investment Management in Singapore.
He is also host of the Grant Williams podcast along with several others.
