It was at a time where I needed to kickstart my savings/investment/health plans to secure a better future for myself and the people that I love.
I’ve met a few FAs before syamim. Truth be told, some were intimidating and some were pushy to sign the plans. Some were very adamant about their ‘own way of planning’.
What I love about Syamim is that he is never pushy. He will answer all your queries and he is not intimidating. He will understand your life’s goals first, before curating a financial plan that suits you. Very knowledgeable about investments and very understanding as an FA. Alas, he is now my friend that I can count on for advices.
I recommend you to set a meeting with Syamim to start your financial journey with him. I genuinely believe that he got what it takes to advice you, plan your finances and take care of your investments. I support him 100%, and I trust my financial journey is in good hands. | | | | Rusydi (Nurse) I got to know Syamim from my brother-in-law and chose to meet him because of his sound knowledge and experience in financial planning and commitment to his clients.
Syamim is always well prepared for our meeting. For example he prepared a customised power point presentation during our first meet up which allowed me to better understand the content and options that we have. He also takes into consideration many factors when giving advice such as budget and upcoming life events.
He is able to suggest several plans based on our situation that we can consider and does not push us to choose a single plan.
I would definitely recommend this meeting to others! | | | | Radhi (Cybersecurity Analyst) I chose to met Syamim as close friend of mine recommended him to me.
Every interaction and financial meeting with him has been beneficial. He provides in-depth yearly financial reviews and he’s been honest and not afraid to tell me where I’m lacking in my financial standing.
This is different from some of the other financial planning sessions I have had as he recommends what I need, no fluff.
I would definitely recommend meeting Syamim. If you’re looking for an FA who would go extra lengths for you, look no further. Syamim is the one. | | | | 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! | | | | Hakim (Engineer) Syamim presented a detailed explanation
regarding the importance of financial planning and aligning it to my life goals. This allows me to set out realistic short term and long term milestones.
I feel assured with the proposals set out as Syamim plans together with me. On top
of that, he is readily available to answer my
queries and he actively checks in with me tounderstand if I am meeting my targets.
Thank you for the excellent service! Highly
recommended.
| | | | 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! 😊
