A Monthly Curated Newsletter

There are many new things to deal with at this time while we are being isolated from life-as-usual. A new lifestyle, a new future and something that can be quite subtle - a new kind of burnout. It should do us well to be aware about this so we can learn to disengage when we need to. I wish you and your loved ones good health and may you continue to stay safe!

Testimonials and Referral Notes

Aqilah (Lab Analyst)

I first met Syamim through my husband who has been his client for the past few years. I wanted to find out more on financial planning after my husband shared with me about it. I was curious on how couples manage their finances and goals together and that is why I wanted to meet Syamim. What I found beneficial was how Syamim explained about investments as well as thinking about wealth distribution which was a topic that was seldom talked about among my friends such as drafting a will and creating a lasting power of attorney. I found that the regular reviews that he gives were also useful in helping me budget and track for my financial goals and milestones. I would definitely recommend Syamim to everyone especially married couples like me and my husband that need to plan for their combined goals.

Iskandar (Civil Servant)

I chose to met Syamim as he was a very welcoming and friendly person. Overall, all the financial planning sessions were very insightful and Syamim explained everything clearly. He advised me accordingly according to my budget and goals. Throughout the sessions, he was very easy-going and made me feel very comfortable. I would definitely recommend this meeting to my friends and family!

Zahiraah (Project Executive)

I met Syamim because I felt the need to make smart money decisions and wanted to understand insurance and investing better. The financial calculations were beneficial and it helped me prioritise my money habits and understand the big ticket expenses in my near future. This experience was different compared to other financial advisors I met as not only did Syamim advised me on financial planning, he also helped me to visualise the steps required to reach the goals I have. He's professional, well informed and very friendly. He also advices beyond the point of his personal gains and instead focuses on his clients' gains. That extra mile is genuine. I would definitely refer to friends.

Haziqah (Healthcare worker)

Syamim was introduced to me by my sister when I raised some concern about my previous insurance plan. After sharing my previous plans to him, we set up a meeting. During the meeting, Syamim took the extra step to explained thoroughly about my previous plan which was not done properly by my previous agent. During the explanation, he made sure to give a better understanding between the plans, the benefits and drawbacks of each policy. He helped me in understanding my current financial state and adjusting to my needs with the policy I needed. He even went the extra mile in assisting to draw up a financial plan which would help to increase my wealth. While sharing the policy, Syamim is not aggressive - as compared to some agents - in trying to get me to sign up. He ensured that I thoroughly understands everything and gave me time to decide on which plans would be most suitable for me. Syamim has my utmost confidence in his genuineness to help his current and future clients. On top of that, he is readily available to answer any queries or doubts I have with regards to my policy. Thank you! Highly recommended.

Raihan (Civil servant) & Sonia (Teacher)

We were looking for an financial advisor and got to know Syamim through a family member. The most beneficial part of the meeting is that Syamim is very transparent and he encourages you to select what is best for you at your current life stage. As for us, we met him when we were about to get married and he explained about the financial plans that’ll benefit us both in the future. We would recommend others to meet Syamim is warm & kind. He respects your space but is genuine in getting to know you at a personal level.

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.
