Over the last 8.5 years, after working with more than 200 families in Singapore, I’ve seen common concerns that come with parenthood.

Trying to figure

it all out on your own

As a parent, work can get stressful and busy.

Coming home after a long day at work, there are kids, housework and home responsibilities.

But the fear of not having enough lingers at the back of your mind.

You then spent hours scouring the internet, reading online finance forums, comparing different investment products, entering numbers into your Excel spreadsheet… just to optimize your family finances.

  • Your worry: ending up having to rely on low-interest savings accounts, or jump blindly into overly risky investments that may lead to heartbreak.

  • Sounds exhausting?

The silent enemy :

inflation

Inflation only comes about in two forms.

First, things get more expensive every year.

Second, the portion of food servings are getting smaller!

Do you remember back in the 1990s when a McDonald's Filet-O-Fish value meal cost less than $3?

Today in 2024, the same meal now costs around $7.50! More than double!

  • With each passing year, do you want to keep working hard for money?

  • Or allow your money to work harder for you?

The pain of a

large medical bill

In Singapore, there is a saying:

You can afford to die, but you can’t afford to fall sick!

A 2-hour private day surgery can be in the 5 digits.

An open heart surgery in a Government Hospital can be $60,000 or more (Screenshot of heart surgery below).

Outpatient cancer treatment can total up to 6 digits every year.

All it takes is one unexpected medical bill, to derail even the best laid out plans.

  • Can you risk falling sick?

What happens if nothing changes? 

  • Lost Time and Energy: Countless hours spent researching, analyzing, and second-guessing decisions.

  • Education Fund Shortfall: The dream of sending your children to university might become a financial nightmare as rising tuition costs outpace your savings. You end up working well past your retirement age just to continue supporting your family.

  • Wiped Out Savings: A serious health issue can drain your savings, and place unnecessary financial stress on the family.

As a father and the sole breadwinner for my family, the responsibility rests on my shoulders to ensure a good lifestyle for my wife and son.

I understand your concerns and struggles. 
Therefore, I am here to advise you in making WISE  financial choices for your family.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do we have to pay for consultations ?

All consultations with me are complimentary. If you have a genuine need for my services, it would be an honour to serve you.   

How do you normally earn ?

I earn a commission from any recommendations that are implemented.

If there are any recommendations from an insurance company: the insurance companies pay me directly, with no additional cost to you.

If there are any recommendations from an investment fund house: sales charge, advisory fees, platform fees may apply, which I will clearly highlight to you. These fees are there as we will spend the time, energy and research helping you select the top investments globally, and create an ideal model portfolio that suit your needs. Additionally, we will help to monitor it and rebalance on a regular basis, regardless of market condition.

Let us do the hard work for you, so you can spend time on the things you truly enjoy. 

Will there be any conflict of interest ?

My commitment to you, whether you're a current or potential client, is simple:

I'm here to help you find what you're looking for.

It's a journey we'll take together. Your trust and satisfaction are my top priorities. Any recommendations I suggest will be based on our discussions and what you're comfortable with

My promise is I won’t recommend something just because it gives me a higher commission. Your interests always come first in our partnership. I value a long term working relationship together, over a short-term commission. I’m here for the long haul.

What if I am not ready to engage your services?

That is totally ok, I understand that everyone has their own time to make decisions.

Rest assured, my role is to help any potential clients feel heard, valued and understood.

As a consumer myself, I don’t like over promises and product pushing.

"Don't do unto others what you don't want done unto you - Confucius"

Everyone’s situation is different, and our very first interaction is to see if we are comfortable working together.

It’s just like dating! It takes two hands to clap. If it’s important to you, it’s equally important to me in doing a good job to assist you in finding what you might be looking for.

What if I am not a parent myself ?

That’s totally fine! I will still do my best to serve you and see what ways I can possibly assist you with.

I will work together with you, at your current life stage, and plan based on your situation. The reason why I can relate with parents is this: As a Dad with a young son at home, I understand the challenges, the concerns that parents have when it comes to financial planning.

As the sole breadwinner of my family, I know that having to support a few mouths and manage the family finances is not easy!

All parents want the very best for their children. Yet time is precious, and we can never turn back the clock once it has passed.

If you can outsource certain activities to a professional to assist you, why not do that, so you can focus on things that you truly enjoy doing, like hobbies and spending quality time with your family.
