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.

Nabiilah (Counsellor)

Syamim was welcoming and respectful of my many questions and gave me time to process his responses. He was very patient in sharing the different plans and jargons that sounded alien to me. Meetings with him were pleasant and cordial and it did not take long for me to trust him. I liked that I could ask him for opinion yet there was no pressure to adopt them. He was also very efficient and would follow up/ drop reminders when necessary. I feel at ease knowing that my finances are under his care. I recommend Syamim if you’re looking for a trusted advisor.

Haziqah (Healthcare worker)

Syamim was introduced to me by my sister when I raised some concern about my previous insurance plan. After sharing my previous plans to him, we set up a meeting. During the meeting, Syamim took the extra step to explained thoroughly about my previous plan which was not done properly by my previous agent. During the explanation, he made sure to give a better understanding between the plans, the benefits and drawbacks of each policy. He helped me in understanding my current financial state and adjusting to my needs with the policy I needed. He even went the extra mile in assisting to draw up a financial plan which would help to increase my wealth. While sharing the policy, Syamim is not aggressive - as compared to some agents - in trying to get me to sign up. He ensured that I thoroughly understands everything and gave me time to decide on which plans would be most suitable for me. Syamim has my utmost confidence in his genuineness to help his current and future clients. On top of that, he is readily available to answer any queries or doubts I have with regards to my policy. Thank you! Highly recommended.

Zunnur (Project Engineer)

I chose to meet Syamim because he's a relative, and many of my family members are already his clients. The session was incredibly beneficial—it helped me clearly see where my money is going and how to properly structure my savings moving forward. Given some recent changes in my personal life, this meeting offered a much-needed, updated approach to financial planning. It was a very different and refreshing experience compared to past sessions. I would definitely recommend meeting with Syamim to anyone looking for clarity and direction in managing their finances

Fattimah & Aydan (Senior Lecturer & Son)

Syamim has provided a holistic approach of life and medical insurances, investments and savings goals for me and my son by; • consolidating my policies from 4 other financial companies so that I could see the big picture • drawing out a timeline based on my son's and my life’s milestones • showing me the gaps in my long-term planning and recommended viable options • supporting me to embark on a more robust investment strategy. Although I am risk-averse, his knowledge and experience has assured me to be more confident • actively monitoring my investments and providing timely advise in the midst of uncertain market • advising me on ceasing of policies which were not beneficial • assisting me in applying for my claims • providing me with pertinent information on LPA, will and nominations and going the extra mile of not only providing the forms but filling up the necessary information and providing the stamped envelopes. He is professional, knowledgeable and has a positive and sincere attitude. His patient demeanour made it easy for me to share my plans and objectives. I would definitely recommend him as I am sure that he would be able to enhance others seeking to optimize their financial status and living quality and also protect their assets and lives.

Zahid (Port operations)

Syamim has been my neighbour since my childhood days and he has been managing my friends and family's finances which made me choose to consult him for financial planning. I find his in-depth planning for my financial goals not only for the short term but long-term gives me clarity in my life. It was extremely beneficial. I would definitely recommend those who want to get their finances in order to consult Syamim.
