Basir (Business Analyst)

I met Syamim through football more than 5 years ago when I was in National Service. Back then, Syamim shared with me the importance of financial planning after I graduated from university. Fast forward to now, as a fresh graduate with very minimal knowledge, I went in for a meet up with him to learn more on the topics of financial planning. Syamim is very knowledgeable in sharing the many aspects of financial planning. When advising on the different policies, he is straight to the point as well as making in simple to understand. What I like the most is how he helps me to plan my finances and budget in an excel file to help me reach my short and long term goal so that I have a good idea on how much I need to save and invest to reach that goal. I would definitely recommend meeting Syamim to have a greater understanding on financial planning and how it can help you.

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.

Noraziela (Operations Executive)

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!

Aiq (Teacher)

I wanted to take charge of my finances and start my financial journey right as I just got a full-time job and was planning to get married. My then fiancé, now husband, introduced me to Syamim. We met for a non-obligatory consultation, and I was clueless then – no idea about what type of insurance I needed or any savings or retirement plan. What made me choose Syamim as my financial consultant was that he was patient in explaining any question that I had. No question was a bad question. He was thorough in his explanation and whenever I was not sure which option to choose, he will go through all the options I had and did not pressure me to sign for anything I was uncomfortable with. He is very consistent in checking up on my husband and I, we meet every half-year for an update (whether we are on track or not – so nerve-wrecking haha) and what to work towards in the next 6 months, which I find is helpful. Although my husband and I threw some surprises his way in terms of our plans, Syamim was quick to relook at our finances and set new, manageable goals for us. Thanks Syamim for your patience and hard work so far! 😊

Shazlyn (Homemaker) & Faizal (Pilot)

We were aware of the work that Syamim does after he came in highly recommended by a few relatives. At that point in time, we were looking for an advisor who could relate to us well, explain policies to us clearly and sincerely help us in managing our current and future policies. We switched over to his services after just one meeting because of how detailed and professional he is in his work. He took a lot of time and effort to present the best policies he felt suited our needs and they were spot on. His patience with us and our gazillion questions is also worth mentioning. The PowerPoint presentations that had diagrams with concise information were most beneficial. It provided a clear overview of each policy we currently had and wanted to take up. It was an easy reference point as we tend to easily forget the details of the different policies. It was different to other sessions with other advisors which were merely made up of discussions where the agent goes over the details of the policy verbally again and again. It doesn't stick, and is easily forgettable. With the different tools Syamim uses, we could easily grasp the idea of a policy by just a slide/diagram. It allows us to comprehend things easily and refer to them conveniently. We would a million percent recommend this meeting to others because as a millennial himself, he definitely gets us. He understands and relates to us so well that we look forward to meetings for updates rather than dread them. We truly enjoy the service he provides and the extra mile he always goes for clients. He has our complete trust and rest assured he is the best agent we've ever encountered thus far.

Syamim have been very helpful in advising me how to manage my finances well. He gave me valuable tools to help see where my expenses go. One of things I like about Syamim’s financial planning is that, he is very clear and concise. He focuses on every detail of my financials and making sure that all factors are taken into account. Unlike other financial planners, Syamim goes the extra mile to plan for my future upcoming expenses like BTO, having a baby etc. He has an excel to show me how much money I need in my CPF OA to manage my monthly housing loan. I would recommend a meeting with Syamim to anyone who wants to learn about managing your money and investing smartly.
