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. | | | | 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.
| | | | Rayn Ngong. Senior Vice President. GIC Laura was introduced to me in 2002, not long after I had just started working. Over the years, she has maintained close contact with me and has been regularly updating me and my family in our financial planning journey.
Of all the Financial Consultants I have met, Laura has been the most conscientious and comprehensive in her financial planning strategies. With her competent advice over the years, I have been able to comfortably plan for my family's protection as well as our wealth accumulation needs. At the same time, as Laura is a certified Estate Planner, she has also helped me in the area of legacy and estate planning.
Getting a trusted consultant who looks out for you is important. I am thankful that I have not just found a trusted financial consultant, but also a good friend who has seen me through the different stages of my life. | | | | 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. | | | | Dr Tan Eng Hoe & Mary We have known Laura for several years now. Recently, I reached out to her to get her opinion about some retirement plan options. She did not push us any products but instead patiently helped us to make a decision based on our needs at our current stage of life.
She was very patient in going through our all our existing policies that we have purchased through the years and offered very clear explanations.
We are very thankful for her advice and would strongly recommend her to anybody looking for a different perspective from a trusted financial consultant.
| | | | Leung Wai Hoong. Chief Strategy Officer. New H3C Group Laura has been my financial advisor for nearly 20 years. I am impressed with her professionalism and the passion she displays in her work. She is a strong listener and is able to fully grasp my requirements to design and recommend well-suited products for my needs.
Her breadth and depth of professional knowledge is amazing, which she leveraged well to provide me with adequate and timely information so that I can make correct and informed decisions. Furthermore, she goes out all the way for her client to ensure strong satisfaction in her services.
Over the years, Laura has been conscientious in tracking my professional and personal development and proactively provided advice on financial products to cater to my evolving needs. Laura has also extended her services to cover the needs of my wife as well as my children.
Through Laura, we have committed to a number of insurance plans such as life, term, accident, hospitalization, annuity, ILP and SRS! With such a portfolio and lifecycle perspective for my entire family, there is no reason not to continue to use her services!
I have also referred a number of friends to her and the feedback from them indicated the same high level of responsiveness and professionalism that I have experienced in interacting with Laura. It is thus also no surprise that she has been a high-flying professional in her line of work, and I wish her all the best for her continued success! | | | | |
