Ridhwaan (Analyst)

Syamim have been very helpful in advising me how to manage my finances well. He gave me valuable tools to help see where my expenses go. One of things I like about Syamim’s financial planning is that, he is very clear and concise. He focuses on every detail of my financials and making sure that all factors are taken into account. Unlike other financial planners, Syamim goes the extra mile to plan for my future upcoming expenses like BTO, having a baby etc. He has an excel to show me how much money I need in my CPF OA to manage my monthly housing loan. I would recommend a meeting with Syamim to anyone who wants to learn about managing your money and investing smartly.

Ian (Music Teacher)

I chose to meet Syamim because he comes across as an amicable, friendly and patient person. I find the meeting with him to be non pressuring, relaxed and we are able to share about any other interests, topics and concerns. He is able to give practical financial advise outside of the policies he is selling, just like how a friend would. I would recommend this meeting to others, as it will also encourage and empower people to think for their own finances, as they partner with Syamim, for better in their financial management.

Nadiah (Document Specialist) & Suhaimi (Engineer)

Syamim knows his products well and he takes his time to explain to us clearly. He is able to assist us on taking the most suitable product that matches our ever growing financial capabilities. Will definitely recommend him for any insurance related and financial advice. (Nadiah) Syamim is proactive in keeping us updated with Great Eastern products and relevant government related incentives too. His engagement is proven to be productive as he is able to cater to our needs and situation. (Suhaimi)

Sharon (Management Trainee)

I Met Syamim randomly because I signed up to get a personal finance booklet on IG. But best decision ever. “I wont advise you to invest until 6 months later, after we have tracked your cash flow” “There are more packages but I won’t sell those, cause they are really not worth. I can run through them but will refer you to someone else if you really want to buy.” “Me: I don’t really know how cpf and income tax works Syamim: *prepares an entire ppt and lecture to educate me” “Me: I have random insurance that my parents buy from different companies, but I don’t really know what they are. Syamim: *makes me send him screenshots from SingPass, pdfs from AXA and the GE app on my dad’s phone to find out what I have.” If those quotes weren’t enough, the final stroke for me was; “Syamim: *pulls out an excel sheet 10 mins into our first meeting to start calculating my cash flow and planning for things like holidays to marriage to dental appointments.” I have met more than 5 financial advisors, but all seemed to just want to “grow my wealth”. While that is important, I think understanding my wealth and giving me handles to manage it is much more important. At our age, really think financial literacy is the way to go. Syamim keeps up to date and is a really good teacher, even asked him if he considered being one. What he does is to give you the necessary knowledge to manage your own finances and make the most well informed decisions. Coming full circle, he is everything a financial advisor should be but usually isn’t - giving you good financial advise and lets you decide. What everyone else does is tell you how to grow your wealth, how to invest, how to beat inflation, another savings plan, another plan to diversify, or simply instilling some fear of the future to help you ‘invest’ early. So for all the lost souls and fresh graduates, Syamim is definitely the guy for you. I’ve actually never met anyone else who pulls out an excel sheet to plan my finances instead of drawing me some triangle, timeline or graph. He is open to teaching and advising those who already has insurance plans too, no strings attached!! So feel free to reach out. If you feel bad just get him a drink though he will probably tell you to wait till you gain enough income to buy him one :))

Nada (HR Executive)

"I first met Syamim through a friendship with his wife, and it quickly became clear that he is someone who is deeply dedicated to his craft. Over the years, I have seen the amount of professionalism, and effort he puts into his work, which gave me full confidence in entrusting him with my financial planning needs. What sets Syamim apart is that he doesn't just offer the standard financial advice — he takes a truly comprehensive approach. He has guided me through important areas that are often overlooked, such as setting up a Lasting Power of Attorney and planning for future contingencies. His ability to look beyond the basics and ensure that every aspect of my financial well-being is considered has been invaluable. Every meeting with Syamim is highly productive. He is consistently well-prepared, organized, and thoughtful, making our discussions clear, purposeful, and tailored to my specific situation. If you are looking for a financial advisor who combines deep knowledge with genuine care for his clients’ futures, I recommend you to meet Syamim!

Ilham (Psychologist)

Syamim has done a superb job in helping me manage my needs and goals. I am impressed by how he never fails to go the extra mile to provide me with the education (through slides, summaries, and infographics) and recommendations of the various different policies. He is meticulous in managing his client's portfolios. He is also sensitive to my needs and is very considerate of the challenges that I am facing at the stage of life I am in. He is the most genuine financial consultant that I have encountered and has never failed to add a level of personal touch during our interactions. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for advice in financial planning and services!
