Marc

Thomas is a competent advisor who has excellent industry and product knowledge. He also takes his client's lifestyle and circumstances into consideration before recommending any solutions to help them achieve their goals!

Ei Soe | Software Engineer

Thomas has been a great friend and a source of support for me over the years. He is highly dependable and is there for me in times of need. I feel that what sets Thomas apart from other financial consultants is how genuine he is. Before making any recommendations to me, he patiently listened to my plans and concerns, and was sure to factor these in when planning for me. On top of that, conversations with him regarding finances are always with no pressure and obligation. To anyone looking for a financial consultant who is genuine and not pushy, Thomas is the one to look for!

Jenssen | Software Developer

I have known Thomas for more than a decade now. He has always been someone who connects easily with others, and has their best interests at heart. I'm sure his clients are in good hands under his care!

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.

Kai

My experience with Thomas has been very pleasant. As someone with a health complication, I have approached many insurance agents from various companies to try to get insured, but I could feel that Thomas was the most sincere in trying to assist me given my existing circumstances. He is also very competent and seems to always be on standby for his clients. His explanation of the various policies that he recommends was very clear, and gave me much clarity about what I should be looking out for. Due to my long work hours, I sometimes am only able to reach out to him with queries in the middle of the night. Yet, he has always been prompt with his replies. He is definitely the go-to agent that I recommend to my family and friends. If you are looking for an agent with excellent service and professionalism, I recommend you to reach out to him as well. You won't be disappointed!

Yerim | Researcher

I was referred to Thomas by a friend. As I had just entered the workforce, financial planning was a concept that seemed very foreign to me. Yet, I had a few long-term financial goals set in mind. Thomas patiently listened to my goals, and crafted a portfolio that would help me achieve them. He also explained the policies in detail to me, ensuring that I understood what I was signing up for!
