Testimonials and Referral Notes

Firah (Investor Relations)

Syamim helped me sort out my finances and created a monthly financial plan I could follow. This has been very helpful for me in keeping my finances in check. I now understand that personal finance does not mean to just work and save up money in the bank. We will never have enough savings to cover our daily expenses if we fall sick one day hence the need to protect our income. Wealth accumulation starts with investing on assets over a long period of time. Putting this amount of money in a bank would be meaningless if you compare the interest earned from the bank vs inflation. This experience was insightful and I finally understand the importance of financial planning. From my experience, other advisors did not explain it clearly enough for me as he did. I would definitely recommend this meeting to my close friends and family.

Shan (Firefighter)

Syamim was referred to me by my childhood friend. It was to do financial planning for my wife and I. Syamim went the extra mile to look into these for me and realized that 1 of my policy was over paid and the benefits was not worth for the amount I was paying. From my experience, most financial advisors will relatively ask you to start investment plans and seldom speak about emergency funds. Syamim was the opposite, he told me to grow my emergency funds first and invest only after that. He has given me a bigger picture on financial planning and choosing the correct policies. Its never 1 option. He always gives minimum of 3 options and a recommended one. That is what we call a zero obligation consultation. We met a few times before deciding on a certain policy. Every meeting with him was a beneficial one. I believe 1 consultation with Syamim is enough to know where you currently stand in your financial profile. I would definitely recommend Syamim to people I know. His knowledge in financial planning is top notch.

Irdina (HR Executive)

Syamim takes the time to go through in detail about financial planning & the different types of insurance & investments to ensure that I have a clear understanding about what I am getting myself into. He isn’t your typical financial advisor, he goes the extra mile to help you achieve your financial goals/milestones. He will conduct financial reviews with you to ensure that you’re on the right track. Would highly recommend anyone, especially new hires to get in touch with Syamim to understand the importance of financial planning!

Dan (Civil Servant)

I heard many good reviews from my friends regarding Syamim’s Financial advisory services. And at that point of time I was looking for one. I’ve heard of many financial consultants but I personally felt that Syamim was the best amongst all the other consultants I’ve heard of. And true enough he was nothing short of that during my first consultation with him. He was not pushy at all. He gave me advices which were useful and I’ve been applying it in my monthly financials ever since. He is also really keen and sincere in helping me improve my financial situation so that I could achieve my desired financial goals. What I really like about Syamim is that he really monitors my progress and gives me reminders every now and then to ensure that I'm always on track to achieve my financial goals. Syamim and I aren't far apart in terms of age so we could connect and relate to each other’s stories and life experiences. As we shared our stories, our relationship turned from Financial consultant and client to friends. I got really comfortable with sharing almost everything about my financial situation and we do also talk about life. The experiences and lessons Syamim shared with me helps me a lot because I can relate to it and he’s always there to give me really useful advice about financials and life in general. I definitely would recommend Syamim to others especially for those who are looking for a financial consultant who will consistently help, monitor and give them the extra push to achieve their financial goals.

Syahir (Student)

I chose to meet Syamim as he is my family's financial advisor. Before our first meeting, he guaranteed that the meeting would be non-obligatory and he kept his promise. Through meeting him, I feel that learning more about investments and how to grow my money in the long term very useful. I think this is important for young people like myself to learn as we may need cash in the long term. I would definitely recommend this meeting to others. This could be useful for anyone at any age to learn more about how to manage their finances or even grow their money.

Khair (Systems Engineer)

Syamim was patient in sharing the knowledge regarding financial planning and wealth accumulation. With the plan that was drafted out, I could roughly see which area of my finances I should reduce and how I can plan more for the future. The excel file allowed me to have a more holistic view of my cashflow and how to plan for the goals ahead. Other than the typical financial plans, he also imparted other financial knowledge to me such as credit cards, income tax savings and debt management. I would greatly recommend my friends and family to meet Syamim and understand the importance of financial planning
