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.

Naufal (Data Analyst)

I chose to meet Syamim after a close friend recommended him and spoke highly of his approach. I was also looking for another advisor I could truly trust with my policies. The most beneficial part of our meeting was the comprehensive breakdown of my current financial portfolio. Syamim highlighted what I already have in place, what I’m lacking, and helped me map out clear goals for the future. It was an eye-opening and practical discussion that I believe would benefit others my age as well. Compared to previous financial planning sessions I’ve had, this experience stood out. Syamim genuinely took the time to understand my financial situation and showed real care and effort in helping me improve it. It felt personalized, thoughtful, and sincere. I would definitely recommend this meeting to others.

Syafiq (Undergraduate)

My search for a financial advisor (FA) took almost a year. I was finding a financial advisor that was not only meticulous and effective but also down to earth. Syamim was a perfect fit and I never regretted taking up his services ever since then. Syamim knows what is best for his clients and ensures that his client’s expectations are met., Personal finance budget and goal setting was the most beneficial part of the meeting. Syamim analysed and took into consideration all of my finances. Documents were setup for a better visualisation of the plans. This allowed me to have a better understanding of my finances. As a student, there were limitations to the planning, but we managed to come up with a student friendly plan. All of the goals were revisited each year to ensure that I was on track. He was never shy of sharing any financial advice that would help me achieve my goals and also to improve my spending habits. I would definitely recommend this meeting to others.

Amira (Admin Executive)

I was not sure where to start on financial planning and which insurance to take up as I was under my dad’s insurance and I didn’t have my own insurance. So I decided to engage with Syamim as he’s someone I’m familiar with. You will be able to oversee the plannings that he does in terms of finances and insurance. I am also able to see where and how much funds are allocated to spending and saving, which helps me to keep my budget on track. Most importantly, emergency funds. He always emphasise that it’s important to have emergency funds ready just in case any unfortunate events occur. Syamim was the first advisor that I engaged. He did a customised financial plan for me and introduced me to the types insurance that is suitable for me. He will also review my finances and portfolio every year so that you have an idea what you took up and whether you are on track with your financial plan. I would definitely recommend Syamim as he is comfortable to talk to, not pushy, explains everything in detail and answers any questions that you need clarification to. 👍🏻

Aiq (Teacher)

I wanted to take charge of my finances and start my financial journey right as I just got a full-time job and was planning to get married. My then fiancé, now husband, introduced me to Syamim. We met for a non-obligatory consultation, and I was clueless then – no idea about what type of insurance I needed or any savings or retirement plan. What made me choose Syamim as my financial consultant was that he was patient in explaining any question that I had. No question was a bad question. He was thorough in his explanation and whenever I was not sure which option to choose, he will go through all the options I had and did not pressure me to sign for anything I was uncomfortable with. He is very consistent in checking up on my husband and I, we meet every half-year for an update (whether we are on track or not – so nerve-wrecking haha) and what to work towards in the next 6 months, which I find is helpful. Although my husband and I threw some surprises his way in terms of our plans, Syamim was quick to relook at our finances and set new, manageable goals for us. Thanks Syamim for your patience and hard work so far! 😊

Fadzli (Executive)

I previously had a bad experience with an acquaintance who sold me things I didn’t really need. It left me quite hesitant, but a friend recommended Syamim and I decided to give it a try, as I wanted someone outside my immediate circle. From the start, I found the session very beneficial. Every plan suggested was personalized specifically for me, and everything was explained clearly in detail. I truly felt heard and understood, and for the first time, I felt confident about my financial decisions. I would definitely recommend Syamim to others who want clarity and a personalized approach

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.
