A Monthly Curated Newsletter

As they dedicate their love and lives to their households and make constant sacrifices for their family’s & children’s well-being, mothers never retire.

Mums, pay attention to finances

Financial experts advise that it makes sense for mothers (and just about anyone) to pay attention to their financial affairs. According to the US-based National Centre for Women and Retirement Research, nine out of 10 women will eventually have to manage their finances on their own at some point, due to circumstances ranging from leaving the workforce to care for a family member, to becoming divorced or finding themselves widowed.

Asri (Engineer)

I got to know Syamim through my wife and was immediately impressed by how well he managed her finances. I’ve worked with two other insurance agents before — both of whom were my friends — but none provided the same level of care and expertise as Syamim. He’s extremely knowledgeable when it comes to financial planning and takes a detailed, structured approach in helping us plan for both short-term and long-term goals. What I really appreciate is that he takes the guesswork out of the equation and honestly makes managing our finances a lot less stressful. Syamim keeps us in check, helps us stay financially aware, and makes sure our plans actually fit our lifestyle, budget, and goals. He’s not the type to shove an insurance plan down your throat — he genuinely wants to see you achieve financial balance and peace of mind. Honestly, I can’t recommend him enough. If you’ve been putting off sorting out your finances, what are you waiting for? Go talk to Syamim — you’ll thank me later!

Imtiyaaz (Undergraduate)

Syamim has been super helpful to me and my family in advising us about our finances and insurance. He has helped me and my dad to plan our finances for the future which allowed us to have less worry. I am thankful that he takes his time to explain something to me and if i don’t understand, he will slowly explain it to me again which I appreciate a lot. I appreciate that he is very honest and direct with us and always makes us feel comfortable. He even helped my mom to look through her insurance even though she doesn’t have any insurance plans with him which shows he truly cares about his clients. I will recommend Syamim to anyone who wants to plan their finance for their future.

Zulaikha (Teacher)

I met Syamim through recommendation by a friend and since then, we clicked well and he was easy to talk to. I found his explanation to be very detailed and clear, making sure I fully understand all the proposals. My experience with Syamim was different from other financial advisors I met as Syamim was very transparent and understanding of my financial status. I would definitely recommend meeting 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.

Charles (Engineer)

I chose to meet Syamim as he is someone I've known before and I know people that worked with him. One of the more beneficial part of the meeting is that he gives simple explanations and offers good advice. In addition, Syamim's approach was more approachable and personalized. Other FA sessions normally include someone upselling a product or people who don't know what they are offering. His clear explanations and patient demeanour made the session much more engaging and understandable. I would highly recommend this meeting to others.

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.
