Faheem (Pricing Analyst)

Syamim has been my financial advisor ever since I graduated, and he has been a great help in providing a catered financial plan for me. Not only did he go through what I needed in the policies, but he also went the extra mile of understanding my financial position as well as risk appetite and gave expert advise on how to take on my financial journey. On top of that, Syamim often shares his insights on how he manages his own risks and accumulate wealth, unrelated to the products that he is selling. This allows me the autonomy to make my own financial decisions without feeling obligated to purchase the financial products that are available. Initially, I was sceptical about financial advisors as they tend to be pushy and often upsell their products based on my past experiences with some of them. However, with Syamim I am able to put my utmost confidence in him as he would ensure that he understand my financial standing and life priorities before even proposing a solution to me. This is what I appreciate most about in my financial advisor, and I would not recommend Syamim more to anyone who needs an advisor or a mentor!

Nazirul (Immigration Officer)

Syamim has been my financial advisor since the start of my career. As you can read from other reviews, he is not pushy and will explain the right plan to suits your needs. He also provides other alternatives so that we can choose what’s best. During the meet up, he uses graphics and excel sheets to further enhance the way he delivers your financial goals. These really help to summarise what I am committing in the long term. Overall, I am really satisfied with the work plan that he curated for me. Syamim also gives timely updates and will answer your queries at any time of the day. Definitely recommend others who are looking for financial planning. Especially to those who have just graduated or just starting a career just like myself. 100% recommended.

Khairuddin (Engineer)

Syamim sets realistic targets for myself and others who I know based on our current financial status. He is not afraid to be upfront about things which he considers important for my financial well being. Always sincere and eloquent, he explains the different financial plans in a clear and concise manner. He also sets a good example for his clients and is transparent regarding all things money-related. Extroverted and approachable, I am not afraid to raise my concerns to him and he will address it objectively. One particular thing I can takeaway from him is that you do not have to be book smart to be financially smart, you just have to be prudent and realistic. My experience with him has been nothing but pleasant and I will learn new things every time we meet. I highly recommend anyone who wants to learn the ropes of good personal finance management to approach Syamim!

Faiq (Operations)

Throughout the session, I found Syamim to be a very honest and knowledgeable guy. This is my first experience with regards to financial planning and insurance. What I love most is that he is able to help me with the planning of my future milestones such as wedding and housing. This session also helped me to decide on the insurance that suits me well in accordance to my financial situation. I will definitely recommend Syamim to my close friends.

Aqilah (Lab Analyst)

I first met Syamim through my husband who has been his client for the past few years. I wanted to find out more on financial planning after my husband shared with me about it. I was curious on how couples manage their finances and goals together and that is why I wanted to meet Syamim. What I found beneficial was how Syamim explained about investments as well as thinking about wealth distribution which was a topic that was seldom talked about among my friends such as drafting a will and creating a lasting power of attorney. I found that the regular reviews that he gives were also useful in helping me budget and track for my financial goals and milestones. I would definitely recommend Syamim to everyone especially married couples like me and my husband that need to plan for their combined goals.

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.
