A Monthly Curated Newsletter

As humans, we often like to think we're right, even when we can be wrong at times.

Jiang Feng (IT Consultant)

When I first graduated from University, I was trying to find out ways to manage my finances better as well as being uncertain about what insurance was about. Ben was able to provide a clear overview as well as suitable recommendations that met my needs. I felt it is very beneficial for a young professional like myself.

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!

Ben Chew (Research Assistant)

Benjamin Koh has been an excellent advisor for wholistic evaluation on finance. Going through various aspects to ensure what his clients are missing and also their main goals in life. He isn’t afraid to provide a different view to help his clients grow in their wealth but also in ensuring their healthcare remuneration are in check as well. He is bright in nature which in turn, makes it pleasant to approach him when in doubt and learning from his advice - knowing he has done his research as well.

Yunhe (Pilot)

Benjamin is a very dedicated and experienced agent who does his job really well and always does not mind going the extra mile to make sure our policies and well-being are well taken care off. He is very meticulous when planning for our family’s policies and will always keep us updated frequently along the way. He ensures that we are well insured and is in good hands. Benjamin is not pushy in sales, and will only recommend whatever that caters best for our family and children’s needs which makes us very comfortable throughout this financial planning journey with him. To add on, Benjamin is also very knowledgeable and familiar with his products which is a huge bonus for us as it makes me and my wife feel extra assured with his recommendations. His responsiveness and dedication to his job makes us have zero doubts that he will always be just a phone call away if we need any further assistance too. Hence, we are really grateful to have him as our existing agent and will not hesitate to look for him again if we need to purchase more policies in the near future.

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.

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.
