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.

Kaif (Undergraduate)

Syamim is a fantastic financial adviser. He was recommended to me by a friend of mine that was already enlisting his help. My friend explained to be briefly the benefits and peaked my interest. I contacted Syamim soon after and we set up a virtual meeting to discuss in detail what he offers and how he can help me. Despite me being only 20 years old then, Syamim treated me as he would any other client. He never took and advantage of my age or lack of knowledge and considered things for me that I would not have batted and eye to. He thoroughly explained to me the concepts and services that I could receive with his help. He also helped me visualise a financial plan that I know will help me for years to come. He did not hard-sell any of the services and did not pressure me into making a decision. I always felt as if I was in control of my decisions and that gave me the confidence to invest. It has been an extremely pleasant experience and I have and would recommend this meeting to many others that are interested.

Syahril (Undergraduate)

I met Syamim when I was planning for my future and he was the first few advisors that I met with experience. The most beneficial process of the meeting was the planning of my life in stages. He understands my needs and has great attention to detail. Syamim is knowledgeable in his field and would explain things clearly when I am in doubt. He is not pushy and understands my current needs. I would recommend others to meet Syamim even if you are not getting anything, as his advices are very useful when planning for the future.

Shaa (Business Owner)

Syamim happened to be a mutual friend and now a good friend who genuinely cares about my financial well-being and health. He ensures that we catch up even with our crazy schedules, and will always listen to my goals and needs, offering sound advice and options, and hey, he's not afraid to throw in his two cents too! Syamim's personal portfolio approach and willingness to address my concerns make the whole experience a breeze. I would highly recommend him, hundred percent!

Shafiq (Civil servant) & Nani (Teacher)

I chose to meet Syamim because I was curious on how my fiancé manages his financials. We are open when it comes to financial management and what really captured my attention was that Syamim pays attention to the small details for his clients. He ensures that Shafiq doesn't feel burdened and did not force him into anything that he cannot commit to yet. Something different about Syamim is that he does excel sheets on planning for you so that you won’t question what is going to happen because it is already projected on the excel. He is the only agent that we see doing this, which gives you personalised data and a feeling of priority. For me, I find that him putting himself into my shoes really shows the decency of a human being. He knows that everybody is struggling with something and he ensures that I don’t feel embarrassed or difficult when talking to him. When talking to him for the first time, I felt comfortable as though we were friends before. He made it seem easy to talk to him about anything. He can do both small talks and deep conversations. When I first heard about him from Shafiq, I did not expect to see a friend more than an agent. I would definitely recommend this meeting to everyone. I’ve met with a few financial advisors and Syamim made me the most comfortable to talk about my financial situation. Convincing is something anyone in this field can do but trust takes courage and time. And he seems genuine for me to trust.

Irdina (HR Executive)

Syamim takes the time to go through in detail about financial planning & the different types of insurance & investments to ensure that I have a clear understanding about what I am getting myself into. He isn’t your typical financial advisor, he goes the extra mile to help you achieve your financial goals/milestones. He will conduct financial reviews with you to ensure that you’re on the right track. Would highly recommend anyone, especially new hires to get in touch with Syamim to understand the importance of financial planning!

Xuan Ming (Sales Executive)

I chose to meet Syamim because I wanted to gain a clearer understanding of my insurance options and how they fit into my overall financial plans. I felt it was essential to discuss my specific needs and goals. Having a one-on-one conversation with a professional like Syamim allows for personalized guidance, which I believe is crucial. He has been highly recommended by our peers. The most beneficial part of the meeting was the detailed explanation of different financial products and how they would impact my financial security. For someone my age, understanding the implications of life and health insurance is vital. Syamim's ability to clarify complex terms and provide real-life examples helped me make informed decisions. I would absolutely recommend this meeting to others. It’s crucial for anyone, especially those in my age group, to understand the importance of having proper insurance coverage & financial planning. This meeting not only provided valuable insights but also empowered me to make more informed decisions about my financial future. I believe everyone can benefit from a similar discussion, as it can help prevent potential financial hardships down the line.
