In Touch

A Monthly Curated Newsletter

Research seems to point to the fact that those who engages in deeper conversations with others are happier people. This is what I call a happy finding. It levels with what makes us human. We speak, we listen, we feel, we learn, we take and we give. And deeper conversations allow us to lift each other up.

Why You Need to Start Having Deeper Conversations

Conversationally, introverts prefer to dive deep. We want to know what's really going on in your head, or to talk about something interesting we've read, heard, or watched, among other meaningful topics (link is external). And, it turns out, deep talk is actually good for us, whether you're an introvert, extrovert, or neither.

Ama (Teacher)

I started out my career with absolutely no clue about managing my finances. Then came Syamim- he has been my saving grace throughout the past few years. We first established my goals in life and he personalised a plan and timeline that allows me to achieve those goals (albeit in a realistic way). What separates him from the rest is that he really hears you out and puts your aspirations and goals first, before anything else. I have always felt at ease and was never belittled for my lack of financial knowledge with Syamim. For that, I'd highly recommend that you book a consult with Syamim. You know that he's always going to put you first!

Safrin (Teacher)

Syamim has been extremely helpful in assisting me and my husband with our finances over the years. We started off as newly employed young adults with lots of goals and ambitions for our future but with no plan, but Syamim's advice and guidance on these matters has been godsend. He makes sure to provide very personalized plans that shows he cares which is what everyone looks for in a financial planner. It's not easy to find such dedicated workers these days, we are glad that we were able to engage him so early on even before starting our careers. Thank you for the constant and amazing service Syamim! All the best in your career!

Kaif (Undergraduate)

Syamim is a fantastic financial adviser. He was recommended to me by a friend of mine that was already enlisting his help. My friend explained to be briefly the benefits and peaked my interest. I contacted Syamim soon after and we set up a virtual meeting to discuss in detail what he offers and how he can help me. Despite me being only 20 years old then, Syamim treated me as he would any other client. He never took and advantage of my age or lack of knowledge and considered things for me that I would not have batted and eye to. He thoroughly explained to me the concepts and services that I could receive with his help. He also helped me visualise a financial plan that I know will help me for years to come. He did not hard-sell any of the services and did not pressure me into making a decision. I always felt as if I was in control of my decisions and that gave me the confidence to invest. It has been an extremely pleasant experience and I have and would recommend this meeting to many others that are interested.

Xin Ni (Pharmacist)

Syamim is one of the few financial advisors that go that extra mile. On top of being knowledgeable in the financial field, he: * Patiently sits down with you through multiple sessions to understand your financial needs before sharing his recommendations * Gives you a Holistic overview of your finances throughout your life after mapping it out with you, using easy to understand graphs and excel models (no overly complicated excel formulas involved!) * Explains to you the different financial tools you can use (not limited to insurance policies only) to achieve your financial goals, taking to account your life circumstance and your goals , and ensures that you understands before embarking on anyone of them * Takes to account your current insurance plans * And most importantly, respects your final decision I happen to just met Syamim at the point where I started to have quite a number of insurance policies and is not sure which are necessary, coupled with having huge expenses coming up in my life. Initially I didn't expect much from his sessions, but after each session, I seem to have gained new knowledge and understanding on my current financial situation, and is empowered to make right decisions. I would definitely recommend Syamim to anyone who is looking for a person to properly guide them into managing their finances in their lives, as he doesn't see you as a customer/client, but treats you as a buddy that wants to help you with managing your finances.

Saliha (Research Asssistant)

I have always wondered about my husband's FP - how involved, efficient and invested he is. My insurance agent was originally a friend, who has left the company and he handed over my policies to his colleague. A significant number of years had passed, yet I have never met my new IA and I did not receive any updates on changes in policies. I decided I would like to meet Syamim to have a 2nd opinion, and I was really glad it happened. He was calm, knowledgeable and patiently refreshed the policies I had back then. Planning for both our short and long term goals was the highlight of the meeting for me. Syamim is someone who makes you feel valuable and empower you with the belief that you are capable of change. He supports you in your retirement goals, without neglecting your current and potential needs for the family. I would definitely recommend this meeting to others! It is always good to have a 2nd opinion, and Syamim will shed light on what is the best comprehensive plan according to your needs and financial capacity.

Ridhwaan (Analyst)

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.
