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.

Syafiqah (Immigration Officer)

It was just last year when I was introduced to Syamim. Syamim's main priority is to educate us on healthy financial habits. He would create a customised plan depending on our lifestyle, spending habits and financial commitments. As he is very easy-going, it was really easy to talk to him and consult him regarding financial matters. He is also very detailed and efficient in his work. He makes use of excel sheets, graphs and charts to further explain and give a clearer picture so that we really understand and not just agree blindly. For someone like me who has no prior experience and knowledge regarding financial planning, this has greatly benefitted me. I am able to be on track with my future goals and milestones. I strongly recommend Syamim to anyone out there who has doubts regarding financial planning and those who need the extra help in planning for their future goals.

Ainnie (Stage manager)

I choose Syamim after seeing my fiancé take charge of his finances and seeing him planning for the future inspires me to do the same. I personally like how Syamim personalized my financial plan without being pushy and he ensures that I am on track with my personal goals. As me and my fiancé are moving to the next chapter in our lives, I feel Syamim is the best person to really understand and plan for our finances towards financial freedom.

Radhi (Cybersecurity Analyst)

I chose to met Syamim as close friend of mine recommended him to me. Every interaction and financial meeting with him has been beneficial. He provides in-depth yearly financial reviews and he’s been honest and not afraid to tell me where I’m lacking in my financial standing. This is different from some of the other financial planning sessions I have had as he recommends what I need, no fluff. I would definitely recommend meeting Syamim. If you’re looking for an FA who would go extra lengths for you, look no further. Syamim is the one.

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.

Ignatius (Civil servant)

I first met Syamim in JC. I found the planning and considerations of my timeline to be the most beneficial part of the meeting. This experience with Syamim was more professional compared to other financial planning sessions that I had took part in. I would definitely recommend this meeting to others.
