Testimonials and Referral Notes

Saran (Engineer)

Syamim has been always very professional and patient with me. He takes time to explain clearly the purpose behind buying any policies and if I require it or not. Compared to other FAs I have met, Syamim has knowledge in more than just the typical insurance and investments. He also ensures that we are on track to our goals via a yearly review! He also provides a file which has detailed and clear overview of the polices which we have. The file also includes my timeline and steps for the next 20+ years of my life and what I should work towards, which gives me clarity. This helps me a lot in the long run as I tend to forget about the policy coverage sometimes. I will 100% recommend anyone to meet Syamim as he’s friendly and easy going.

Aidil (Freight forwarder)

I met Syamim through our mutual friends. At that point of time, I was looking for a financial advisor to address my concerns. Syamim was highly recommended back then which made led to me being very comfortable during our meetings. Through these sessions, he managed to inculcate the importance of disciplined financial habits and insurance. I highly recommend meeting Syamim to anyone who wants to get their finances in check

Shafiqah (Executive)

I met Syamim when I signed up for one of his financial guide books online I found the most beneficial part of the meeting to be the allocation of my financial budget, planning my financials to better understand how to reach my financial goals during these volatile period. I have switched 4 to 5 FA(s) (or forced to, due to FA resigning and was reassigned to other FAs which I have not seen or met them) until I met Syamim. He was different as he stayed in contact and always updates me every year since 3 years ago. I would recommend this meeting to others, but unfortunately, some of my friend are FAs too. However, I would recommend other who are in search or are lost in their financial journey in life, well I know I was.

Rafii (Manager)

My encounter with Syamim was mere coincidence after we struck a conversation on personal finance. Syamim shared on his approach to financial planning which impressed me. After this encounter, I decided to to consult him for my financial planning. Syamim’s experience with diverse client pool and depth of knowledge is priceless and a cut above others. He is meticulous in his work and concise in his communication. As a busy working professional, Syamim is of great assistance. He works closely to set goals and formulate the most efficient and optimal solution with realistic and timely milestones. He proactively provide portfolio updates and market intels that can value add to my personal financial planning. I highly recommend others to have a consultation with Syamim. I am certain it will be worth your time and there will be valuable takeaways.

Keith (Engineer)

Syamim is extremely patient and sincere in our meetings together. He is not pushy and shows real satisfaction in getting me on track for my financial goals. Highly recommend him as a financial consultant if you want someone that makes complex concepts concise, is responsive to your needs and is genuinely invested in your goal progress.

Kashif (Teacher) & Salwa (IT Operations)

We knew Syamim to be very genuine, easy-going, and kind, which were attributes we were eagerly looking for in our Financial Advisor. Word of mouth through friends also revealed that he was exceptionally knowledgeable and wise regarding finance. So far in our experience with Syamim after working with him for more than a year, he has shown to have exceeded the very high hopes we had for him. Syamim has helped us understand finance and investments through very clear and concise explanations that help us to make much more informed decisions. He also has made very elaborate financial plans curated carefully for our own specific needs and financial situations. The care and thought he has put into planning our finance truly make us feel as though we are his only clients even though he has to handle a seemingly overwhelming number of financial portfolios and clients. His financial plans for us are very clear and manageable to execute. This helps us easily navigate the year with clear goals and methods he has taught us, to ensure financial comfort and security. An aspect we deeply appreciate too is that Syamim is never pushy or forceful of anything. He gives us the plain facts and allows us to pursue the insurance plans we desire. While other financial advisors may be persistent with trying to sell you a variety of insurance plans over time for their personal benefit, Syamim has never once tried to sell us anything more than the basic necessary plans we needed. His good character, extensive wisdom and knowledge in finance, and being someone who genuinely only desires the best for his clients, makes Syamim an absolutely must recommend for anyone looking to navigate the harsh world of financial planning. He will make the seemingly daunting experience of planning for your future, a simple and smooth one.
