Rachelle

As someone who has always been skeptical about financial consultants, I was hesitant to meet with Thomas initially. However, I was glad that I did, as his explanation helped me realise that I had some misconceptions about how insurance works. We are currently working together to address some gaps in my portfolio, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable consultant who can explain things in a clear and concise manner!

Dinesh | Network Specialist

I first met Thomas when he took over my policies after my previous agent left the industry. I had already forgotten my policy details as they were purchased some time ago, but he was very kind to reach out to me to refresh my memory. Thereafter, he also helped me to do up some policies for my family members, all while being very patient in explaining the details to us and addressing our queries. I'm very thankful for all his help.

Esther Lee | Research Executive

While conversations with Thomas are usually light-hearted due to his humorous nature, he has displayed great competence whenever it comes to serious topics. I have always felt comfortable talking to him about my finances as he is never pushy. He is also able to break down complicated concepts into ways that are easy to understand, and that has benefitted me a lot on my financial journey. I'm confident that apart from myself, his other clients also appreciate his sincerity and competence. I would surely recommend him to family and friends whom I think can benefit from a conversation with him.

Kok Wee

Before meeting Thomas, I already had a number of policies. Having bought them some time ago, I couldn't remember what they were about. Thomas gave me a refresher by patiently explaining the details to me before highlighting some of the shortfalls in my portfolio. I am very grateful for his help!

Ranjani | Housewife

I first met Thomas when he took over my policies after my previous advisor left the industry. He took the initiative to reach out to me and ensured that I knew exactly what coverage I have. Afterwards, he recommended some solutions to suit my current life circumstance as it had been a long time since I last reviewed my portfolio. Throughout the entire process, he was patient in explaining everything to my husband and I.

Roshni | Software Engineer

Thomas is a very warm, friendly, and cheerful person. He started out by first understanding what I was looking for and then suggested suitable products. I was glad that he was not pushy and let me take my time before finalizing my decision. He was patient and agreed to explain things again and clarified my doubts. Thanks to him, the whole process was hassle-free. Kudos to his hard work and efforts!!
