Making decisions on property is not trivial, as they often have effects on our quality of life in ways that are not just material but also financial and emotional. Regardless of our experience levels in making decisions on our properties and homes, it helps to have an appreciation of what resources are involved, and how we can be resourceful about them. I hope you find the materials in this issue useful.

Fatima (Pharmacist) & Khai (Engineer)

I met Syamim through my husband as I wanted to engage the services of a financial consultant that can manage both my personal finances and shared finances with my husband. I was hesitant at first as I already had a financial consultant before meeting Syamim but after hearing about his excellent services, I decided to give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised during the first meeting with Syamim - he is a knowledgeable consultant yet breaks it down such that it is easier for me to understand the different insurance policies and financial tools that are available. He provides options and plans/ideas tailored specifically to my finances and lifestyle. He also always ensures that I have a holistic understanding of my financial landscape and goals in life. I highly recommend Syamim to anyone who is looking for a competent financial consultant who is dedicated and thorough in his work.

Liyana (Lab officer)

Passively growing my money was something I have always wanted to do but I have no knowledge of how to go about doing it. Meeting with Syamim, he shared with me the different options I have in terms of wealth accumulation and the pros and cons in each choice. He helped me with the estimations in accordance to my timeline and budget which I would not have known how to accurately calculate on my own, so it was great that I have him to help me out with that. I learned that it’s important to start early when financially preparing for retirement. The later you start, the more costly it will be for you to reach your goal. It is also important to be aware of what you are comfortable with when investing your own money and to weigh the risk and benefits of different investment options. Syamim helped me with the different calculations that allowed me to invest comfortably yet have enough for my expenses, lifestyle and other goals. I would recommend others to have a meeting with Syamim as he is well versed in what he does. He customises his presentations well to your profile and his explanations are relatively easy to comprehend and most importantly he ensures that you are comfortable when it comes to talking about finances. He broadens your understanding in the importance of financial/risk/wealth management.

Hafiz (Lawyer)

Syamim and I attended the same Junior College and we developed a personal friendship ever since then. As such, it was easy to consider him to be my financial planner of choice, as I trusted him and his sound judgement. Syamim has never failed to take care of me and my family’s needs in relation to the policies that we acquired and has always been proactive in ensuring that we receive the highest standard of service. Syamim has a knack of clarifying whatever queries both me and my family have in the clearest and most efficient way possible, and having him as my agent has been nothing short of a good experience. As such, I would highly recommend Syamim to anyone who is looking to have their finances advised on or planned for. You will not find a higher standard of service elsewhere.

Carlo (Engineer)

I met Syamim for a financial planning consultation, learnt a lot about financial planning and setting goals. He has helped me plan for my personal milestones through an excel and it has allowed me to keep track of my progress as well as know how much exactly to save/invest in order to meet my goals. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a detailed and personalized financial plan.

Noraziela (Operations Executive)

Syamim is someone that makes financial concepts less complicated through his concise explaination. I found the tracking and calculation of my cashflow to be the most beneficial as Syamim also ran through ways on how to optimise it further. As I have been with Syamim for 8 years, the meetings has been more of like catch ups, which has also given me the confidence to share my worries and concerns! I would definitely recommend others to meet Syamim as he has been a great help to me!

Raj (Civil Servant)

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!
