A Monthly Curated Newsletter

As humans, we often like to think we're right, even when we can be wrong at times. Many of us have the unconscious tendency to seek information that support our existing beliefs & disregard or undermine those that do not match ours. But doing so without awareness or questioning can have adverse effects in the way we think, make decisions & live our lives. Today, I'd like to share with you some potential consequences of confirmation bias & what we can do about them.

Xavier (Software Developer)

Syamim was introduced to me a few years ago, he was originally recommended by my close friend. I was skeptical of FA in general but Syamim puts me at ease. He clearly outlines the pros and cons of his plans, any fees and pitfalls you should be worried about when investing or looking into insurance. Even if you decide not to engage him, he still gives you 100% and breaks down very logical goals for you to understand in an easy manner. Overall will and have been recommending Syamim to everyone!

Ayesha (Designer)

I choose to met Syamim after being recommended by my husband, who has been his client for years. I found the meeting with Syamim to be beneficial for me as he gives me realistic and practical financial advise for me to act upon in order to achieve the goals I desire. The meetings has also made me more confident on my finances especially in planning for my milestones such as marriage and housing due to the actionable steps given to me. The experience with Syamim was different compared to other financial planning sessions I previously attended as Syamim was more specific and holistic, especially in tailoring his recommendations to my current lifestyle and life stage. The previous agents were very pushy and only gave surface level advice. I would definitely recommend everyone to meet Syamim for your finances!

Durgga (Lecturer)

Syamim is a great consultant and he takes a lot of effort in managing his client’s portfolio. Truly impressed on the service he provided and his patience in explaining the product details as well. Thank you Syamim!

Fatil (IT Support Analyst)

Syamim is a dedicated adviser who will undoubtedly give it his all no matter how small or big the task is.

Ama (Teacher)

I started out my career with absolutely no clue about managing my finances. Then came Syamim- he has been my saving grace throughout the past few years. We first established my goals in life and he personalised a plan and timeline that allows me to achieve those goals (albeit in a realistic way). What separates him from the rest is that he really hears you out and puts your aspirations and goals first, before anything else. I have always felt at ease and was never belittled for my lack of financial knowledge with Syamim. For that, I'd highly recommend that you book a consult with Syamim. You know that he's always going to put you first!

Syuhrah (Journalist)

Syamim is efficient and professional when dealing with clients. Through him, I learnt extensively on how to better manage my finances. He highlighted the importance of future planning ass well as enlightening me regarding issues I've never thought about. I'm very thankful for his guidance. I'd recommend him to my friends due to his strong work ethic and he is definitely someone you can rely on and trust for your financial freedom and security.
