Dear Valued Contacts,

Within a short time, Acrostics Asia has delivered forward-looking insights with proven accuracy across Asian sovereigns and state-linked entities.

The proof is in the file.

• SriLankan Airlines

• China’s Double Helix

• Asian Sovereigns’ Tug of War

I’ve also been building the grid – including a website and email alerts – for the next phase. There are three reasons for this:

1. I had to systemically tag and organize the growing content.

2. Acrostics Asia is increasing its reach beyond LinkedIn.

3. I wanted to build a platform for collaboration (more on this over the coming weeks).

Happy to share that I’ve completed the website, which now houses my archives and other features.

These are what you’ll get:

1. Acrostics Asia’s Takes

2. Daily Roundups (Asia + Indonesia news compilation)

3. Weekly Roundup (with more features/visuals)

4. Bright Spot (good news, notable developments, people’s moves)

Check out a sample of the Indonesia Roundup email alert below. I’ll be curating the news myself so I won’t be sending spam to your inbox!

I should resume writing my takes this week and as always, I welcome any feedback. Have a good week ahead!

Best,

E
