I chose to meet Syamim after my brother, who is an existing client, shared his positive experience. He described Syamim as approachable, easy to talk to, and someone who genuinely listens without hard-selling, which gave me the confidence to hear his advice before making any financial decisions. The most valuable part of the meeting was planning for both my short-term and long-term goals. Being able to visualise my finances clearly helped me better manage my money and gave me greater peace of mind. His explanations on investments and insurance were also clear, making complex topics much easier to understand. I would definitely recommend meeting Syamim to anyone looking for personalised and trustworthy financial planning.

I Met Syamim randomly because I signed up to get a personal finance booklet on IG. But best decision ever. “I wont advise you to invest until 6 months later, after we have tracked your cash flow” “There are more packages but I won’t sell those, cause they are really not worth. I can run through them but will refer you to someone else if you really want to buy.” “Me: I don’t really know how cpf and income tax works Syamim: *prepares an entire ppt and lecture to educate me” “Me: I have random insurance that my parents buy from different companies, but I don’t really know what they are. Syamim: *makes me send him screenshots from SingPass, pdfs from AXA and the GE app on my dad’s phone to find out what I have.” If those quotes weren’t enough, the final stroke for me was; “Syamim: *pulls out an excel sheet 10 mins into our first meeting to start calculating my cash flow and planning for things like holidays to marriage to dental appointments.” I have met more than 5 financial advisors, but all seemed to just want to “grow my wealth”. While that is important, I think understanding my wealth and giving me handles to manage it is much more important. At our age, really think financial literacy is the way to go. Syamim keeps up to date and is a really good teacher, even asked him if he considered being one. What he does is to give you the necessary knowledge to manage your own finances and make the most well informed decisions. Coming full circle, he is everything a financial advisor should be but usually isn’t - giving you good financial advise and lets you decide. What everyone else does is tell you how to grow your wealth, how to invest, how to beat inflation, another savings plan, another plan to diversify, or simply instilling some fear of the future to help you ‘invest’ early. So for all the lost souls and fresh graduates, Syamim is definitely the guy for you. I’ve actually never met anyone else who pulls out an excel sheet to plan my finances instead of drawing me some triangle, timeline or graph. He is open to teaching and advising those who already has insurance plans too, no strings attached!! So feel free to reach out. If you feel bad just get him a drink though he will probably tell you to wait till you gain enough income to buy him one :))

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!

Syamim is someone that makes financial concepts less complicated through his concise explaination. I found the tracking and calculation of my cashflow to be the most beneficial as Syamim also ran through ways on how to optimise it further. As I have been with Syamim for 8 years, the meetings has been more of like catch ups, which has also given me the confidence to share my worries and concerns! I would definitely recommend others to meet Syamim as he has been a great help to me!

I decided to go with Syamim compared to other financial advisors as he was strongly vouched for by one of my closest friends, and I truly needed someone who's able to understand my predicament at that material time! I like the fact that Syamim never once pressured me to buy a policy that's beyond my age. At times there were considerations which I raised to him, and he'd succinctly advised me against it as my position doesn't allow / necessitates me to consider such considerations. Syamim is someone who truly understands how finances interplays with insurance - he's not one of those who just regurgitates whatever that was taught wholesale to him during his financial advice training, since he himself is involved with stocks. He has your best interests in mind! I would definitely recommend meeting Syamim! For people who are of different industries than Syamim, there's no need to fret! Personally, he was able to simplify things for me whilst being able to capture all the necessaries - this is a key sign that one truly knows their products and clients' interests. He doesn't judge as well (a key thing for me), and would instead advise on what's the best path moving forward.

Syamim sets realistic targets for myself and others who I know based on our current financial status. He is not afraid to be upfront about things which he considers important for my financial well being. Always sincere and eloquent, he explains the different financial plans in a clear and concise manner. He also sets a good example for his clients and is transparent regarding all things money-related. Extroverted and approachable, I am not afraid to raise my concerns to him and he will address it objectively. One particular thing I can takeaway from him is that you do not have to be book smart to be financially smart, you just have to be prudent and realistic. My experience with him has been nothing but pleasant and I will learn new things every time we meet. I highly recommend anyone who wants to learn the ropes of good personal finance management to approach Syamim!
