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.

Nabil (Undergraduate)

Syamim's services was recommended to me by my brother. The portfolio that he manages really amazed me, together with his track record for my family. He’s able to give me an insight of short term and long term plans which I have little to zero knowledge of. It is something that allows me to be more aware of my financial situation and to plan ahead, which I'm grateful for. Syamim is also able to answer my questions with full knowledge and details which I appreciate. When it comes to explaining the policies again as a refresher, he would gladly do so and most importantly he does not pressure me into taking up any policies. I would 100% recommend Syamim to anyone who would like to plan for their life milestones!

Diana (Teacher)

I chose to meet Syamim on the recommendation of my husband actually! I thought it would be seamless and easier if Syamim manages both of our plans and I’ve never regretted my decision! He’ll listen to your needs and recommend the best plans for you. I like that he gives options for his recommendations and he respects my choice. I like the part where he asks me what’s my current coverage and how else can I better protect myself. He also maps out what I’m aiming for in the future so I find that very helpful if I know where the money I’m investing in my plans is going to. He also goes through the plans in detail, and yet simplifies it so it’s not too overwhelming. I also like that he personalises and customises a sheet to track my plans, so I know that he is keeping up with it! His session is different from other advisors that I’ve met where it’s just an overload of information and they just recommend the plans to get without asking the consumer what are their goals. I would definitely 100% recommend this meeting to others! Syamim will provide a customised experience for your financial planning needs!

Carlo (Engineer)

I met Syamim for a financial planning consultation, learnt a lot about financial planning and setting goals. He has helped me plan for my personal milestones through an excel and it has allowed me to keep track of my progress as well as know how much exactly to save/invest in order to meet my goals. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a detailed and personalized financial plan.

Safrin (Teacher)

Syamim has been extremely helpful in assisting me and my husband with our finances over the years. We started off as newly employed young adults with lots of goals and ambitions for our future but with no plan, but Syamim's advice and guidance on these matters has been godsend. He makes sure to provide very personalized plans that shows he cares which is what everyone looks for in a financial planner. It's not easy to find such dedicated workers these days, we are glad that we were able to engage him so early on even before starting our careers. Thank you for the constant and amazing service Syamim! All the best in your career!

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

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!
