Xin Ni (Pharmacist)

Syamim is one of the few financial advisors that go that extra mile. On top of being knowledgeable in the financial field, he: * Patiently sits down with you through multiple sessions to understand your financial needs before sharing his recommendations * Gives you a Holistic overview of your finances throughout your life after mapping it out with you, using easy to understand graphs and excel models (no overly complicated excel formulas involved!) * Explains to you the different financial tools you can use (not limited to insurance policies only) to achieve your financial goals, taking to account your life circumstance and your goals , and ensures that you understands before embarking on anyone of them * Takes to account your current insurance plans * And most importantly, respects your final decision I happen to just met Syamim at the point where I started to have quite a number of insurance policies and is not sure which are necessary, coupled with having huge expenses coming up in my life. Initially I didn't expect much from his sessions, but after each session, I seem to have gained new knowledge and understanding on my current financial situation, and is empowered to make right decisions. I would definitely recommend Syamim to anyone who is looking for a person to properly guide them into managing their finances in their lives, as he doesn't see you as a customer/client, but treats you as a buddy that wants to help you with managing your finances.

Brandon (Policy Analyst)

When I first met Syamim, he provided an introductory financial guide for insurance and investment that was relatable to me as a student transitioning to a working adult. The most beneficial part of this meeting was the tailored experience he provides for my unique situation and the advice he gives me based on his experience. He also takes into consideration of changing life plans and adapts his recommendations accordingly. I would definitely recommend others to meet Syamim 👍

Nur (Hedge Fund Executive)

I got to know Syamim through my husband, and we decided to meet him for joint financial planning after getting married. We wanted to align our goals and have a clearer picture of our combined finances. Syamim was super flexible with meeting times, which made the whole process really convenient for us. He also walked us through the numbers and did all the financial calculations, which was really helpful in making sense of everything. Overall, it was a smooth and reassuring experience working with him. I would recommend his services to any couples needing financial clarity

Diana (Teacher)

I chose to meet Syamim on the recommendation of my husband actually! I thought it would be seamless and easier if Syamim manages both of our plans and I’ve never regretted my decision! He’ll listen to your needs and recommend the best plans for you. I like that he gives options for his recommendations and he respects my choice. I like the part where he asks me what’s my current coverage and how else can I better protect myself. He also maps out what I’m aiming for in the future so I find that very helpful if I know where the money I’m investing in my plans is going to. He also goes through the plans in detail, and yet simplifies it so it’s not too overwhelming. I also like that he personalises and customises a sheet to track my plans, so I know that he is keeping up with it! His session is different from other advisors that I’ve met where it’s just an overload of information and they just recommend the plans to get without asking the consumer what are their goals. I would definitely 100% recommend this meeting to others! Syamim will provide a customised experience for your financial planning needs!

Vivian (Teacher)

Syamim is a reliable and knowledgeable advisor who is forward-looking, and gives me advice on how to better manage my finances. During our most recent review, he advised me on how to better allocate my money to achieve my saving goals. Syamim also reviewed my insurance plan and shared new changes for my consideration, which allows me to plan and think further ahead. As I am getting closer to getting a house/marriage, the latest review was necessary and important as it allowed me to make adjustments to my financial planning. I would highly recommend choosing Syamim as your Financial Planner as he has the heart for his clients 👍🏻

Nikita (Actuary)

My partner found Syamim and he has been nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, he showed a deep understanding of my insurance needs and took the time to guide me through the process of selecting the most suitable coverage. His expertise and attention to detail gave me confidence that I was making informed decisions to protect myself and my assets. Throughout our interactions, his professionalism and knowledge have been evident. He have always been prompt in addressing any questions or concerns I had, and his clear explanations made even the most complex insurance terms easy to understand. What truly sets him apart is his dedication to my best interests. He have consistently gone above and beyond to assist me with various policy adjustments, ensuring that my coverage remains up to date and aligned with my evolving needs. His proactive approach in periodically reviewing my coverage is a testament to his commitment to providing the best possible service. I am truly grateful for the level of care and personalized attention he have provided. His professionalism and integrity have set a high standard in the insurance industry, and I feel fortunate to have him as my agent.
