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.

Imtiyaaz (Undergraduate)

Syamim has been super helpful to me and my family in advising us about our finances and insurance. He has helped me and my dad to plan our finances for the future which allowed us to have less worry. I am thankful that he takes his time to explain something to me and if i don’t understand, he will slowly explain it to me again which I appreciate a lot. I appreciate that he is very honest and direct with us and always makes us feel comfortable. He even helped my mom to look through her insurance even though she doesn’t have any insurance plans with him which shows he truly cares about his clients. I will recommend Syamim to anyone who wants to plan their finance for their future.

Rania (Corporate Trainer)

I met Syamim through my boyfriend and I’m grateful to be able to work with him! I didn’t really know much about financial planning or suitable insurance policies especially as a fresh grad. But Syamim was able to help me come up with a savings excel plan that I can easily stick to and make my life goals much easier to achieve. He was not pushy at all and was very patient and very clear and concise while explaining everything to me. He even took into consideration my relatively small budget and made it work! Would definitely recommend Syamim to my friends and family

Khai (Lawyer)

I met Syamim based on strong recommendations from friends he had previously advised, and their confidence in his track record immediately gave me assurance in his services. The most beneficial aspects of our meeting were the in-depth financial planning around my personal goals and his deep knowledge in tailoring financial products specifically to my situation. What truly set this experience apart from other advisors I’ve met was that Syamim was never pushy—he focused on understanding rather than selling. He is also extremely contactable and responsive to my queries, no matter how big or small. I would confidently recommend meeting with Syamim to anyone looking for clear, personalised, and trustworthy financial advice.

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!

Pau (Software Engineer)

I have met many financial consultants, but I have not come across someone as invested as Syamim in educating his clients. He is very knowledgeable and provides advice according to our goals in life, with a detailed blueprint on how to achieve them. I find the regular meet up sessions to review my finances to be the most beneficial as it allows me to reflect on my financial journey so far and adjust accordingly when needed. In addition, he keeps track of my finances to keep me accountable. Syamim's sessions are different from other financial planning sessions I went through so far as all of them tend to focus on selling their products rather than enrich me with knowledge in accordance to my unique situation. I would definitely recommend this meeting to others!

Ilham (Psychologist)

Syamim has done a superb job in helping me manage my needs and goals. I am impressed by how he never fails to go the extra mile to provide me with the education (through slides, summaries, and infographics) and recommendations of the various different policies. He is meticulous in managing his client's portfolios. He is also sensitive to my needs and is very considerate of the challenges that I am facing at the stage of life I am in. He is the most genuine financial consultant that I have encountered and has never failed to add a level of personal touch during our interactions. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for advice in financial planning and services!
