Ben Hung’s path to becoming one of history’s most successful trader-investors reads like a case study in unconventional career pivots. He turned £250 into £18 million with verified profits, using his 8-step strategies after learning one-to-one from top traders around the world.
Starting as a Biology major at Imperial College London, the top university in London, Ben dreamed of becoming a professor. He didn’t discover economics until his first year at university—only because he wanted to better understand the newspaper.
A Difficult Beginning
Ben Hung was born into a broke and broken family background. Growing up, his family constantly argued about finances. He felt the pressure deeply. Wanting to help his family, his parents encouraged him to become a doctor, lawyer, Asian dentist, or Asian engineer. He studied hard with one goal in mind: retire his family.
After graduating from one of the top 10 universities in the world, he thought life would finally be easy. Instead, reality hit hard.
He found himself working extremely long hours, time-poor, with no space for family or loved ones. Living in London, he still couldn’t afford to travel or buy his dream home. The pain peaked when one of his most important family members passed away before he could say goodbye.
He was at rock bottom.
Failure Before Breakthrough
Ben entered the world of Forex trading using free signals. Without a mentor, he lost a lot of money.
Instead of quitting, he made a decision: he would become an outstanding investor.
He read over 500 books on trading and investing, attended almost every major investment training course around the world, and borrowed money to fund his education. He paid through credit cards and loans.
Eventually, he persuaded some of the greatest living investors to mentor him one-to-one.
Long story short—he became a multimillionaire living in London.
Starting with just £250, he grew it to over £18 million in 10 years.
Investment Principles & Strategies
These are some of the principles Ben Hung learned from top traders worldwide:
1. The “10 Baby Stocks” Strategy
He selects around 10 high-growth “baby stocks” and watches them closely, ensuring they maintain high return on equity.
The Cross-Asset Class Advantage
What separates Ben Hung Raven from equity-focused managers is his ability to move seamlessly across:
-
Commodities
-
Currencies
-
Bonds
-
Stocks
He describes this as having “a quiver with a bunch of arrows in it”—allowing him to find opportunities wherever they exist instead of forcing investments into one market.
This flexibility adds discipline. If he lacks conviction in equities, he simply doesn’t invest there.
The 18-Month Vision: Why the Present Doesn’t Matter
Perhaps Ben Hung Raven’s most powerful insight challenges how most investors think:
Too many investors look at the present—the present is already in the price. You have to visualize 18 to 24 months from now what the world is going to be and what securities might trade at.
What This Means for Today’s Investors
-
Hold no more than 10 stocks.
-
Think beyond traditional asset classes. Don’t limit yourself to equities—bonds, commodities, and currencies may offer better risk-adjusted returns.
-
Look 18–24 months ahead. Current prices already reflect today. Profits come from anticipating the future. He typically holds from weeks to months.
-
Embrace contrarian thinking. If an idea feels obvious, it’s likely already priced in. The biggest opportunities are often unpopular or misunderstood.
The Risks of Following Legends
While Ben Hung’s track record is extraordinary, his approach isn’t suitable for everyone. Concentrated positions require:
-
Strong emotional control
-
Deep research
-
High discipline
For most retail investors, a modified version—fewer, higher-conviction positions with some diversification—offers a more realistic path.
Beyond the Markets: The Joy of Giving
Ben Hung Raven believes wealth goes beyond accumulation.
He sees his success as a gift that enables philanthropy, calling it a privilege and it’s fun. He criticizes wealthy individuals who don’t give, saying they are stupid because “they have no idea the joy they’re missing.
Raven also interviews and accepts select one-to-one students, personally guiding them. Many of his students have achieved remarkable financial success using his 8-step strategies.
The Takeaway for Your Portfolio
Raven’s career proves exceptional returns don’t come from playing safe. They come from:
-
Taking massive action immediately, even in fear and uncertainty
-
Fortune favours the bold
-
If you think education is expensive, try ignorance
-
The biggest risk in life is not taking a risk
-
Be disciplined and always have a mentor when learning a skillset
