A Monthly Curated Newsletter

In meeting the demands of work and every day life, many of us can feel compelled to do all things at once, and may become overwhelmed or less effective as a result. To counter this, it is worth taking a moment to adjust our pace; to give ourselves the space to practice taking one step at a time in the ways we perform our tasks and how we manage our minds & emotions.

Single-Tasking for Productivity and Stress Management

I used to be a big fan of multi-tasking when it became a popular strategy for productivity. The idea of doubling productivity by doing multiple things at once is quite appealing for busy people, and these days most of us are busy people. However, several studies show that in most cases, multi-tasking can negatively affect productivity and efficiency. Here's how.

Testimonials and Referral Notes

Omar (Marketing)

Syamim he was referred to me by a few close friends who assured me that he would not be aggressive or very insistent, which was something that I have not liked when it came to previous experiences with financial advisors. Syamim's sharing was straightforward and easy to digest. The information that was put in front of me helped me to assess my current financial situation and helped me look ahead to chart my path. Syamim's sessions were very relaxing and he is very approachable as he is open to giving you honest advice, which I appreciate. This was very different than other sessions I had with other advisors. I would definitely recommend this meeting to others! If you have had bad experiences with other financial planners, put your preconceived notions aside and speak with Syamim, you might be pleasantly surprised!

Jasmine (Cybersecurity)

I got to know Syamim from an online campaign. At that time, I wanted to learn more about managing my finances. During our meetings, Syamim went through and gave me detailed breakdowns for my finances. I appreciate the honesty especially as I was already aware that my finances were not in the best state. It was good that someone pointed it out and offered to work through it with me step-by-step on how to turn it around. This was different from the other sessions I had as Syamim understood what I needed and helped to strike a balance within my insurance portfolio. He taught me that having good coverage is important but being able to pay within my means is important. As someone who has always lived in the moment, I have never planned for future me 2-3 years down the road. Thanks to Syamim; he has made the actionable steps clear and I can’t wait to see the results of inculcating these habits into my life. I would definitely recommend Syamim as he genuinely wants to help and tailor the advices to your needs 👍🏼

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.

Hakim (Teacher)

When looking for an FA, I wanted someone who would be able to value add to my knowledge and Syamim was able to do just that. His extensive knowledge on financial planning and patient demeanour made it a no brainer to choose him as my FA. On top of that, Syamim never fails to ensure my queries are answered promptly and is proactive in offering a variety of solutions, including ones that may not be related to the products he is offering. From his actions, it is clear that Syamim’s intentions lie in looking out for his client’s financial well-being and not solely for his personal gain. The financial roadmap Syamim provided was useful in helping me visualize the various financial milestones, and this was accompanied by his recommendations of a financial plan tailored to my needs/goals. Beyond the first meet-up, Syamim regularly checks in and provides yearly reviews to ensure that my evolving financial needs are constantly being attended to. Syamim has been a joy to work with. Do not hesitate to contact him for your financial needs!

Naufal (Pilot)

Syamim is very earnest in helping me draw out my financial plans across short, medium and long term periods. He takes time run through in detail on the different aspects of financial planning. Importantly, he makes it a point to educate his clients so that we can achieve a better understanding of our financial status. Syamim gives valuable advice to ensure our needs are met first before helping us to achieve what we want by putting in place realistic goals. Syamim will also provide periodic follow ups to ensure we remain on track and is always available for any queries. I sincerely recommend Syamim to anyone that is looking for any financial services and planning.

Prakash (Teacher)

Syamim took the time and effort to find out about me and my needs. Thus, he was able to make good recommendations. I learnt quite a bit on how to track my spending and budget accordingly with my savings and investments in mind in order to reach my personal financial milestones. He was very frank and was not pushy which made me very comfortable with him. I would recommend him to my friends.
