A Monthly Curated Newsletter

As humans, we often like to think we're right, even when we can be wrong at times. Many of us have the unconscious tendency to seek information that support our existing beliefs & disregard or undermine those that do not match ours. But doing so without awareness or questioning can have adverse effects in the way we think, make decisions & live our lives. Today, I'd like to share with you some potential consequences of confirmation bias & what we can do about them.

Testimonials and Referral Notes

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.

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!

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!

Huiting (Manager)

Benjamin and Liliani are very friendly and knowledgeable in their field of work. They recommended the insurance policy that best suited my needs in my current stage of life. From Liliani's sharing of Insurance, I better understood the importance of protecting my wealth and well-being from the potential risks that could happen to me. From the sessions with them, I am assured now to be free to do the things I want, and have a peace of mind without having to worry about any unexpected bad events happening to me and my family financially.

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!

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.
