About

Philip Jayhawk Chan is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Lightspeed Investing, where he helps high-performing professionals build long-term wealth through futures and commodities trading, modern investment strategies, and financial education. With more than 15 years of experience in the financial markets, he is dedicated to empowering professionals to diversify their income streams and achieve greater financial independence.

Originally pursuing a career in medicine, Philip's journey evolved through a combination of academic excellence, analytical thinking, and entrepreneurial ambition. Executive-groomed in Hong Kong and shaped by his education at the University of Kansas, he studied Neurobiology, Molecular Biosciences, and East Asian Languages & Culture before completing a Master of Science in Applied Statistics, Analytics, and Data Science. This multidisciplinary background has enabled him to combine scientific reasoning with data-driven investment strategies.

Under Philip's leadership, Lightspeed Investing has expanded beyond traditional money management to provide trading education, systematic trading methodologies, wealth transfer strategies involving luxury assets, and premium travel advisory services. His work primarily supports physicians, engineers, entrepreneurs, and corporate executives who have achieved professional success but seek greater financial resilience through diversified investment opportunities.

Philip believes that sustainable wealth creation is rooted in education, disciplined execution, and long-term thinking. His philosophy is centred on growing opportunities rather than competing for limited resources, advocating that lasting prosperity is achieved by expanding value rather than dividing it. This mindset continues to shape both his leadership approach and the services offered through Lightspeed Investing.

A former basketball athlete and lifelong competitor, Philip brings a championship mindset to business, inspired by the University of Kansas Jayhawks' 2008 national championship team. He attributes success to preparation, teamwork, consistency, and the pursuit of collective achievement over individual recognition.

Today, Philip continues to champion greater accessibility to institutional-grade market knowledge. Through Lightspeed Investing, he is committed to democratising access to the hedge fund space by enabling individuals to observe institutional trading in real time, helping them better understand financial markets and make more informed investment decisions.
