In Touch

A Monthly Curated Newsletter

In the last issue, we discussed how robots will change our lives in the future. It has become increasingly important for us to keep our minds on the ball, stay sharp and stay progressive. If half the jobs in 2020 are yet to be known to us, how can we prepare ourselves and our children today? To face a fast changing future, we need to first understand it. We need to try and take a peek into this future and start to embrace change.

What skills does Singapore need for the future economy?

We live in a time when roughly half of the jobs in 2020 are not yet known to us, and conversely, half of the jobs today will be extinct.

10 Job Skills You'll Need in 2020

The world of work —and the world in general—is changing. People are living longer, new technologies are emerging, and we’ve never been more globally connected. That means the skills we use now in the workplace are not necessarily the skills we’ll need in the future.

Testimonials and Referral Notes

Wan Wei (Research Engineer)

I am writing this testimonial to recommend Ben as a financial advisor. I got to know Ben through my previous job, and he has been a good friend who is patient and sincere. Initially, I have no idea what good financial planning is, until I met Ben. He went the extra mile to provide details and explanation for the various policies available. He helps me to analyze my current financial status so that the best plan can be recommended. It is really nice to work with a financial adviser who always put the needs and preferences of his clients first. Thank you so much for being an incredible advisor and listener! From helping me to put things into perspective to preparing me for great things in the future. I have no doubt in recommending Ben to any of my friends and family.

Deeban (QA Analyst)

I managed to catch up with Ben recently, who was a friend I made in University. Just like he was then, he was extremely patient and helpful in understanding my current policies and needs. Based on those, he managed to table up a few recommendations to further enhance the effectiveness of my policies and what are some things I should take note of when signing up for new policies. I would strongly recommend Ben to anyone who is looking to take up new policies or looking to kickstart on their finance portfolio, mainly because he does not hard sell policies, but rather he seeks to understand what one's needs and wants are before offering his recommendations. Way to go Ben!

William (Engineer) & Jane (Engineer)

My wife & I initially engaged Ben’s service to help our youngest to be covered for a Personal Accident Plan. Despite being new in this line of work, his enthusiasm and pro-activeness propels him to look for answers whenever he faces an obstacle. One example that illustrates the point above would be during the explanation of recommendations, not only did Ben explained in detail what the Personal Accident policy entails and covers, he went above and beyond to resolve our long-term concern on an existing plan that we gotten for our two kids about 20 years ago (we just casually asked!). Honestly, we did not have any expectations that our questions will be answered as we had a few agents over the years to help investigate it; none was able to provide a satisfactory answer to our question. On the other hand, Ben was able to provide us with a clear picture of what transpired during the policy phase and how it became its present stage. He was very forthcoming of his opinions and honest with his advice. From that experience, we felt assured and allowed Ben to help with our kids Protection Planning as well as our own Retirement Planning. Despite being new in this industry, I would strongly urge you to hear Ben out and I can reassure you that the way he plans and structures his recommendations will be for you & your family’s best interest!

Eng Kiat (Consultant)

Ben has been an awesome advisor! For the entire recommendation process, he goes through everything in a clear and systematic way. Running pass every detail to ensure that you are well-informed about your policies. Ben puts in the effort to understand my situation - from my financial goals to my views on health protection - without imposing his own beliefs and judgement. I'm genuinely satisfied with how the plans recommended truly fits my bill. 10/10 would recommend!

Jovin (Sales Engineer)

I initially got to know Benjamin through a mutual friend. I found him very nice and approachable through our interactions. Fast forward a few months, I reached out to Ben to share more with me on AIA hospitalisation policy as I was planning to get a hospital plan in Singapore and was looking at the various provider. After comparison with another agent, I have decided to engage Ben’s service as his sharing was very clear and ensured I know what coverage I am getting. Ben went the extra mile to help explain my Malaysia's policies that I bought without knowing what I gotten then. His clear explanation as well as patience in ensuring I understood the policies provided me with the confidence and assurance I needed. I definitely recommend you to meet Ben and give him an opportunity to hear him out. It might be more beneficial than you think! Thanks for the best support Ben, to many more good conversations ahead!

Geraldine (Administrative Executive)

We were referred to Ben when my policies lapsed. He was really honest and detailed when explaining my current policies and the gaps in my portfolio. Ben also shared what would be be a better fit according to my current financial situation. He is extremely patient, sincere and answers our queries efficiently and professionally with empathy.
