I recommend this meeting to others as Syamim always has a personalised content to share with me. He always ask if I'm comfortable with a certain recommendation and gives alternatives if he sees me having a difficult time in making a decision. All in all, there is an element of legitimate care and concern abt my wellbeing and what the future holds for me shown by Syamim. | | | | 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. | | | | Faheem (Pricing Analyst) Syamim has been my financial advisor ever since I graduated, and he has been a great help in providing a catered financial plan for me. Not only did he go through what I needed in the policies, but he also went the extra mile of understanding my financial position as well as risk appetite and gave expert advise on how to take on my financial journey. On top of that, Syamim often shares his insights on how he manages his own risks and accumulate wealth, unrelated to the products that he is selling. This allows me the autonomy to make my own financial decisions without feeling obligated to purchase the financial products that are available.
Initially, I was sceptical about financial advisors as they tend to be pushy and often upsell their products based on my past experiences with some of them. However, with Syamim I am able to put my utmost confidence in him as he would ensure that he understand my financial standing and life priorities before even proposing a solution to me. This is what I appreciate most about in my financial advisor, and I would not recommend Syamim more to anyone who needs an advisor or a mentor! | | | | Xin Ni (Pharmacist) Syamim is one of the few financial advisors that go that extra mile. On top of being knowledgeable in the financial field, he:
* Patiently sits down with you through multiple sessions to understand your financial needs before sharing his recommendations
* Gives you a Holistic overview of your finances throughout your life after mapping it out with you, using easy to understand graphs and excel models (no overly complicated excel formulas involved!)
* Explains to you the different financial tools you can use (not limited to insurance policies only) to achieve your financial goals, taking to account your life circumstance and your goals , and ensures that you understands before embarking on anyone of them
* Takes to account your current insurance plans
* And most importantly, respects your final decision
I happen to just met Syamim at the point where I started to have quite a number of insurance policies and is not sure which are necessary, coupled with having huge expenses coming up in my life. Initially I didn't expect much from his sessions, but after each session, I seem to have gained new knowledge and understanding on my current financial situation, and is empowered to make right decisions.
I would definitely recommend Syamim to anyone who is looking for a person to properly guide them into managing their finances in their lives, as he doesn't see you as a customer/client, but treats you as a buddy that wants to help you with managing your finances. | | | | Farhaan (Civil servant) I’ve known Syamim since he was serving his national service with SCDF, so when he reached out to me for financial planning, it felt like the right time to get started. What gave me additional confidence was knowing that several of our mutual colleagues already trusted him to manage their finances. Working with Syamim has been a smooth experience—he's always responsive, easy to reach, and takes the time to explain things thoroughly.
He breaks down complex financial matters in a way that’s easy to understand, which really helps with making informed decisions.
I trust him to guide my financial journey and appreciate the clarity he brings to the process and would definitely recommend his services | | | | Shafiq (Civil servant) & Hidayah (Healthcare) Syamim has been a great help to our family when it comes to financial planning. Although we both knew each other personally, he showcased his professionalism and dedication in his work.
He will always come prepared for the meet up sessions and has been excellent in planning for our future family goals. Syamim has made us understand better when it comes to insurance and investment and gives very good advice.
He is definitely the modern day kind of financial advisor you would not want to miss out on. A very thoughtful and respectful individual too. | | | | |
