A Monthly Curated Newsletter

As we embrace the new year, it may help to remember that the turning of the year doesn’t call for grand plans or perfect routines. Instead, it invites calm, adaptability, and trust in small, consistent steps. The collection of articles gathered here speak about the value of steadiness over speed, flexibility over force, and provides a quiet assurance to just keep going—even without clarity.

Chee Hok Yean. President Asia Pacific. HVS

Laura has been my financial consultant since 2002. She has provided very customised and holistic financial planning advice for me, especially in the area of retirement planning. I enjoy working with her because she makes sure she understands my situation and needs first before crafting a solution for me. Her explanations are clear and she provides options in different perspectives and is not pushy in her approach. I am glad to have found somebody I can trust to help me manage my financial planning portfolio.

Humphrey Sew, Civil Servant

Laura has been my financial consultant for some 15 years. What sets Laura apart from others is her ability to blend deep expertise with genuine care. From the beginning, she took the time to understand my unique circumstances and long-term goals – not just my numbers on paper. This allowed me to work with her as a strategic partner who manages my finances and guides me towards long-term financial independence while ensuring I have the right protection in place. Laura provided clear, practical insights that helped me see the bigger picture – not just where I am today, but where I want to be in 10, 20, and 30 years. Her advice on building a solid financial foundation with the right safeguards has given me peace of mind regardless of the unknown future that pans out. Throughout our time working together, she has been consistently responsive, thoughtful and thorough, not to mention attentive and open in listening to my concerns and recommending alternative options that I’m more comfortable with. I strongly recommend Laura to anyone looking for a financial consultant who truly goes above and beyond.

Dr Ronnie Mathew, Senior Consultant, SGH. Dr Sharon Mathew, Doctor, SGH

We as a family relocated to Singapore from UK and we were looking for a good financial advisor for health protection related insurance products. Laura Hoi was introduced by a friend of mine. We met Laura for the first time in 2018. My wife and myself were very impressed with Laura’s professionalism and detailed knowledge about various types of insurance related products available in the market. Equally impressive was Laura’s detailed analysis of our family’s overall financial position and ideal products for us to consider. This included life insurance, critical illness and hospitalisation cover. Laura also created multiple easy-to-understand spreadsheets that helped us immensely. Over the years, Laura had become a a friend and trusted advisor. Laura has consistently been awarded as one of the top level performers internationally in Prudential and because of her comprehensive and vast knowledge and experience, keen attention to detail of the overall needs of the individual/families, professionalism and wanting the best for her clients, we know she will scale even greater heights. Thank you Laura. Best wishes.

Carol Koh. Associate Lecturer & Swimming Coach. Republic Polytechnic

Laura is a childhood friend whom I had not caught up with in ages. When we first met up many years later, the feeling was so comfortable, even when I asked her for financial advice as a friend. As such, I decided that she would make a good financial advisor. She was very attentive and understood my needs. She is very knowledgeable in financial planning and gives sound advice. With Laura as my financial advisor, I know that I am in good hands! Thanks to Laura, I feel more assured of my retirement plans and I’m definitely more covered medically!

Chun-Chau. Director of Business Development. Saab

Laura has been our financial consultant more than 15 years, seeing us through the various stages of our lives and financial priorities. I recalled that she advised me on my personal insurance at the infant stage of my career, to advising me on family protection when I started my family and having kids, to looking at building an education portfolio to support my kids' education and now, looking at building my retirement funds. We are glad to have her watching over our entire financial and insurance portfolio including other products which are outside her portoflio. She is our "go-to" person for any financial matters including car and housing loans as well as home, car and travel insurance. Besides providing financial advisories, what I really like most is her personalised support. I recalled my daughter was hospitalised years back, she visited her, brought her a soft toy, find out how she was doing and even helped us make claims from an insurance company outside her portoflio. It has been an amazing journey with Laura. I would say that insurance and finance are very sensitive and personal matters. We need someone whom we can trust. We are glad that we have Laura as our trusted consultant, a closed friend of ours and a great auntie to my kids.

Lilian Chang. NTUC Enterprise.

I have known Laura as a software vendor in 2004 when I was working in an IT firm. Laura has a truthful personality, and we became good friends very quickly. We continued to keep in touch even when both of us left our jobs. She became my financial consultant when she joined Prudential and helped me look into both my hubby and my portfolio to plan for my retirement. Kids were young then, and good financial planning was very important. With Laura's help, my family's investments and health protection plans were in good hands. Laura is helpful and goes the extra mile to explain and assess plans I have and helped me set milestones. Over the years, Laura has become a family friend. My children are now grown ups and Laura has started guiding them with their financial planning patiently. To me, she is not just a FC, she is already a friend whom I trust with my financial planning. Laura is a person whom you can go to and trust, as she has your interests in mind.
