Amidst a pandemic, the profound impact & discomfort of loss or the prospect of loss is felt almost universally. We may find ourselves and even those we care about feeling anxious & restless, which makes it challenging as we find ways to adjust not just physically, but also mentally & emotionally. At this time, emotional support for one another becomes ever more essential. Here, I'd love to share with you insights that can help us have a deeper understanding on the complex emotions that we may be dealing with, & the ways in which we can provide meaningful social support in our daily interactions through being present & holding space for others.

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!

Abel (Editor)

Despite having previously worked in the financial industry, as well as its advisory arm, I can confidently say that Ben is one of the best advisors I've ever had the honor of coming across. His aptitude is nothing short of excellent, but the area in which he really shines is his unique genuinity that is (though commonly sought to be replicated) often difficult to find. Ben has gone out of his way to advise and service me on numerous fronts, from suggesting and providing comprehensive coverage packages to helping research and even referring relevant professionals with regards to other financial matters that may fall outside your traditional advisor's purview. It seems to matter not what exactly you're looking for in an advisor; I'm pretty sure Ben has it all.

Tianfu (Executive)

Bright, cheerful and resourceful is some of the traits that makes Ben easy to be around with. Despite joining this industry for a short time, his pro-activeness has motivated him to go the extra mile understanding his client's need, short term and long term objectives. The continuous effort in asking for feedbacks, following up with clients and always seeking of ways to improve himself enabled him to go straight to the point with clear explanations. Ben also does his best to make every session enjoyable for you! Give him a shot and he will make your dollar count.

Shenglin (Research Associate)

Previously, I usually just researched and picked one insurance I thought was most reasonable. I don't trust people for financial planning. Ben's appearance broke this darkness and brought light. He is patient and responsible. We had about three sessions to talk about my insurance plans. I was new in Singapore, and he resolved every concern and question I had and walked me through the plans for me in great detail. Instead of rushing into any recommendations, he spent time to understand my needs and my current situation. It is easy to make a recommendation based on experience, but it is precious for an agent to research and come up with the most suitable one for the client. He is friendly and nice. He created a safe and comfortable environment for us to discuss. I liked some small chats with him, and I could sense that he also cared about my mental health by recommending the trails in Singapore as a friend. If you would like a person who helps you with financial planning, my suggestion? BEN.

Kristina (CEO)

Ben was such a good help to us, when we went through the whole claims process. It took him a few weeks, what took another agent months to do. So happy we changed agent and got Ben. Would highly recommend his services to others!

Wan Yi (Engineer) & Mei Yi (Engineer)

Ben has been a good friend as well as a financial consultant for us. Back in University, we worked together for school projects and his good personality helped us build strong teamwork. Since then, I have good trust and friendship with him. When it came to financial advice & personal protection coverage, he has been very patient and professional in addressing our questions as well as advising the most suitable product. Ben is definitely the go-to person if you need any financial planning!
