A Monthly Curated Newsletter

It isn't the bucket either. One good news is that more people are now surviving cancer. The other good news is that life expectancy has increased from 75 to more than age 80. But hold that thought for a moment - it's only good news if one is financially prepared to survive such a critical challenge.

55% of people withdrew from their savings to fund treatment

Here's some insightful and interesting statistics about cancer survivers, driving home one point - we can even be wrong about being prepared.

Akmal (Software Analyst)

I’ve known Syamim since 2013 and he’s always been giving me advice on my finances and career plans informally when we’re out with friends. Once I started working and had lots of questions about adulting it only felt natural to ask him for advice as he’s someone I meet regularly and also someone I could trust. The simplest things like goal setting and financial planning (down to the daily expenditure) are the most helpful to me because it keeps me on track every day and reminds me what my priorities are in life. Syamim also helps me decide on my end goals and suggests all the steps I need to take in between to make it happen. Syamim caters his advice based on my current situation and the things I aim to achieve, instead of providing generic, scripted plans. Our goals change a lot during the course of our lives and he doesn’t turn my opinions/dreams down but always helps to plan the next steps to move forward. He lays all the options down on the table and makes it clear that ultimately I decide on what to do next as there’s no definite right or wrong as long as you’re optimistic and plan ahead. I would definitely recommend meeting Syamim for a quick chat. 10/10

Khairuddin (Engineer)

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!

Naff (Media Analyst)

Syamim has taught me a lot about how to better manage my finances, as well as the importance of being prudent and prepared for the future. He has been very detailed and patient in helping me sort out my finances. I especially appreciate him taking the time to come up with a personalised plan that is easy for me to understand and keep up along the way. Syamim sets aside realistic financial goals for me in terms of my immediate as well as future plans. He is very approachable and always ready to answer my queries with sincerity. Thank you for always going the extra mile! I highly recommend Syamim for anyone who is looking for personal financial management.

Liyana (Lab officer)

Passively growing my money was something I have always wanted to do but I have no knowledge of how to go about doing it. Meeting with Syamim, he shared with me the different options I have in terms of wealth accumulation and the pros and cons in each choice. He helped me with the estimations in accordance to my timeline and budget which I would not have known how to accurately calculate on my own, so it was great that I have him to help me out with that. I learned that it’s important to start early when financially preparing for retirement. The later you start, the more costly it will be for you to reach your goal. It is also important to be aware of what you are comfortable with when investing your own money and to weigh the risk and benefits of different investment options. Syamim helped me with the different calculations that allowed me to invest comfortably yet have enough for my expenses, lifestyle and other goals. I would recommend others to have a meeting with Syamim as he is well versed in what he does. He customises his presentations well to your profile and his explanations are relatively easy to comprehend and most importantly he ensures that you are comfortable when it comes to talking about finances. He broadens your understanding in the importance of financial/risk/wealth management.

Adeline (Product Manager) & Sin Wee (Biz Owner)

I knew Syamim through a friend of mine! He has been helpful in giving me and my fiancé his expertise and helping us to plan our overall finances, cash flow and our different life goals. Unlike other advisors, he is a humble guy and will use data to help us gain confidence in planning for our financial milestones. He will prepare all the necessary PowerPoint and explain to us patiently . He is also very knowledgeable and experienced, which made me and my fiancé trust him. I would recommend him to others if they want to start their finances right.

Haidar (Customer Success Manager)

I have known Syamim on a personal level for a couple of years through mutual friendship. In our first meetup, Syamim's tech-savvy preparation and vast knowledge on all personal financial planning aspects left me thoroughly impressed. It was easy to understand and never felt intimidating, even for a guy like me who only knew basic terms. I would strongly recommend anyone who is keen to map out their short and long term financial goals with Syamim, who's attention to detail, listening skills and honest approach will lead the nervy experience of financial planning into a highly insightful one. Keep up the outstanding work Syamim!
