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!

Keith

The session that I had with Thomas was insightful and eye-opening. As someone who is almost totally unaware of the various financial planning and insurance options available for me, Thomas guided and educated me through the process. He was personable, friendly and empathetic throughout the session and gave clear and sound advise according to my current needs in life. He did not attempt any hard-selling or "cunning" marketing tactics, instead he displayed professionalism and transparency during the session. Although I have yet to take up any plans with him, I would be more than happy to have him as my go-to agent in the long run.

Richard | Private Hire Driver

As a private hire driver, I meet many people with different personalities on a daily basis. Thomas was a passenger that I met a few months ago, and we hit it off instantly. Our conversation lasted for the entire 40-minute journey, and I felt comfortable talking to him as if he is a close friend of mine. Based on our conversation, I could tell that he is someone who has a lot of empathy for others. When we talked about his job, I was sure that his clients are being well taken care of due to his passion to help others and the empathy that he displays towards anyone he meets.

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.

Limin | Human Resources

Thomas has this warm and nice personality that connects easily with people. He is attentive in listening and able to add value by giving me valuable advice. Thanks and keep up the good work!

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!

Gwen | Former Civil Servant, Independent Cat Rescuer

Having known Thomas for more than a decade, I can confidently vouch for his trustworthiness and reliability. Instead of taking the convenient way out, he makes the effort to reach out whenever he senses that his acquaintances are going through a rough patch and may need more support than before. On top of being a grounded and dependable person, Thomas is also an animal lover which speaks volumes of his values. He shows compassion to stray cats and has supported my fundraisers on a few occasions, which allowed more cats to be helped/rescued along the way. A steadfast and understanding friend, I have utmost faith in his recommendations!
