Rafii (Manager)

My encounter with Syamim was mere coincidence after we struck a conversation on personal finance. Syamim shared on his approach to financial planning which impressed me. After this encounter, I decided to to consult him for my financial planning. Syamim’s experience with diverse client pool and depth of knowledge is priceless and a cut above others. He is meticulous in his work and concise in his communication. As a busy working professional, Syamim is of great assistance. He works closely to set goals and formulate the most efficient and optimal solution with realistic and timely milestones. He proactively provide portfolio updates and market intels that can value add to my personal financial planning. I highly recommend others to have a consultation with Syamim. I am certain it will be worth your time and there will be valuable takeaways.

Xavier (Software Developer)

Syamim was introduced to me a few years ago, he was originally recommended by my close friend. I was skeptical of FA in general but Syamim puts me at ease. He clearly outlines the pros and cons of his plans, any fees and pitfalls you should be worried about when investing or looking into insurance. Even if you decide not to engage him, he still gives you 100% and breaks down very logical goals for you to understand in an easy manner. Overall will and have been recommending Syamim to everyone!

Basir (Business Analyst)

I met Syamim through football more than 5 years ago when I was in National Service. Back then, Syamim shared with me the importance of financial planning after I graduated from university. Fast forward to now, as a fresh graduate with very minimal knowledge, I went in for a meet up with him to learn more on the topics of financial planning. Syamim is very knowledgeable in sharing the many aspects of financial planning. When advising on the different policies, he is straight to the point as well as making in simple to understand. What I like the most is how he helps me to plan my finances and budget in an excel file to help me reach my short and long term goal so that I have a good idea on how much I need to save and invest to reach that goal. I would definitely recommend meeting Syamim to have a greater understanding on financial planning and how it can help you.

Dinie (Port planner)

Syamim was initially recommended to me by my sister and brother in law who had their insurance/investment portfolios managed by him. Based on their positive feedback I decided to meet Syamim to assist me in my financial planning. During the meet-up, Syamim explained the fundamentals of planning in an easy to understand manner to and how to reach my financial goals comfortably. He also assessed my current financial situation and laid out the best options and policies that suit my lifestyle. My previous experience with financial advisors was very different as I didn’t meet my new advisor ever since my friend who was my original advisor left the company/industry. I felt that whatever I had previously was enough and didn’t require further reviews. After meeting Syamim, I finally understood how important regular reviews are to update on any changes to policies as well as keeping me on track towards my financial goals. Syamim is very friendly and at the same time professional in his work. He’s also honest in giving advise and does not hard sell any policies that does not suit my goals. Do hit him up for financial advise as he is 100% recommended!

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!

Syamim has been a great teammate and even better friend over the many years that I have know him. As chance would have it, he is my financial consultant currently and I wouldn’t have it any other way. He is always earnest, sincere about the products and services that he recommends and only wants the best for my long term financial goals. I would definitely recommend Syamim to any of my family and friends as he provides personalised and round-the-clock care and service to his clients!
