Michelle Hung

Michelle Hung is the founder of The Sassy Investor. An advocate for financial literacy, she is on a mission to spread the word on the importance of financial independence and how to achieve it. She graduated from the University of Waterloo in 2008 with a Bachelor's of Mathematics, with a specialization in Finance.

She spent seven years working in the investment banking and venture capital industry in Toronto. Through her experience in advising companies in capital raising, mergers & acquisitions, and initial public offerings, she has a rich understanding of capital markets and how it all relates to the average investor. Inspired by Warren Buffett and Peter Lynch's investment philosophies, her self-taught investment strategies, combined with her work experience in capital markets allowed her to build a six-figure investment portfolio by the time she was 29 years old.

After leaving corporate culture full-time, it came to her attention that the "average investor" had a serious lack of (fun) resources available to make sound financial-decisions on their own! The Sassy Investor is dedicated to all those who seek these resources.

Michelle also holds the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation, a globally recognized investment management credential.
