Jasmine (Cybersecurity)

I got to know Syamim from an online campaign. At that time, I wanted to learn more about managing my finances. During our meetings, Syamim went through and gave me detailed breakdowns for my finances. I appreciate the honesty especially as I was already aware that my finances were not in the best state. It was good that someone pointed it out and offered to work through it with me step-by-step on how to turn it around. This was different from the other sessions I had as Syamim understood what I needed and helped to strike a balance within my insurance portfolio. He taught me that having good coverage is important but being able to pay within my means is important. As someone who has always lived in the moment, I have never planned for future me 2-3 years down the road. Thanks to Syamim; he has made the actionable steps clear and I can’t wait to see the results of inculcating these habits into my life. I would definitely recommend Syamim as he genuinely wants to help and tailor the advices to your needs 👍🏼

Ashik (Engineer)

Unlike the many financial advisors I have had meetings with, Syamim has never been pushy and is genuinely concerned about my financial needs and situation. With his cheerful demeanour, it's always a pleasure to have coffee with him and each time, I walk out having learnt something new. One thing that I admire about him is that he is always a text/phone call away and he attends to your queries immediately. I am actually very touched with his sincerity when he once told me that I wasn’t actually ready to purchase any protection plans yet and advised me to get a stable income first. I would have at least met 5-6 financial advisors before him and all of them were trying to get me to purchase something from them. If you want someone who is honest and transparent, Syamim is the right one!

Izzati (Pharmacist)

My husband and I engaged Syamim to be our insurance agent and financial advisor. Getting married and starting a family meant that I had to safeguard my health and wealth. Syamim was honest, transparent and decisive in recommending the best insurance and wealth accumulation plan for me. He is proactive & stayed true to his promise of delivering sound financial advice at every stage of our life as we traversed marriage, motherhood and home ownership.

Aqil (Auxiliary officer)

Syamim sets realistic financial expectations and goals for the future. Through meeting him, I learnt on the importance of income distribution for an effective financial management. I would definitely recommend a meeting with him to seek clarity in your finances!

Amira (Admin Executive)

I was not sure where to start on financial planning and which insurance to take up as I was under my dad’s insurance and I didn’t have my own insurance. So I decided to engage with Syamim as he’s someone I’m familiar with. You will be able to oversee the plannings that he does in terms of finances and insurance. I am also able to see where and how much funds are allocated to spending and saving, which helps me to keep my budget on track. Most importantly, emergency funds. He always emphasise that it’s important to have emergency funds ready just in case any unfortunate events occur. Syamim was the first advisor that I engaged. He did a customised financial plan for me and introduced me to the types insurance that is suitable for me. He will also review my finances and portfolio every year so that you have an idea what you took up and whether you are on track with your financial plan. I would definitely recommend Syamim as he is comfortable to talk to, not pushy, explains everything in detail and answers any questions that you need clarification to. 👍🏻

Syafiq (Undergraduate)

My search for a financial advisor (FA) took almost a year. I was finding a financial advisor that was not only meticulous and effective but also down to earth. Syamim was a perfect fit and I never regretted taking up his services ever since then. Syamim knows what is best for his clients and ensures that his client’s expectations are met., Personal finance budget and goal setting was the most beneficial part of the meeting. Syamim analysed and took into consideration all of my finances. Documents were setup for a better visualisation of the plans. This allowed me to have a better understanding of my finances. As a student, there were limitations to the planning, but we managed to come up with a student friendly plan. All of the goals were revisited each year to ensure that I was on track. He was never shy of sharing any financial advice that would help me achieve my goals and also to improve my spending habits. I would definitely recommend this meeting to others.
