A Monthly Curated Newsletter

As human beings, we are a culmination of our environment, decisions, behaviours and habits. It is worth giving thought to how we live our lives; taking a step back to reflect on some of our own less-than-ideal tendencies and ponder about how we can mitigate or improve upon them. Here are some resources that I hope can help us foster habits and patterns that can create an upward cycle for ourselves over time.

7 tips to get healthy habits to stick without getting stressed

Change for the better is a process. Like training for a marathon or learning a new language, improving your wellbeing has to be approached realistically and progressively to work. So sure, you won’t get results overnight, but over time small gains add up. The trick is sticking with it long enough that the new habits you want to incorporate into your day-to-day become automatic..

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.

I’ve been with Laura for more than a decade, and my experience with her has always been reassuring and positive. She is consistent, patient, and someone I know I can rely on whenever I need clarity or support. What makes her different from other financial consultants is her sincerity and the way she explains things in a simple, transparent manner. She never rushes through discussions and always puts my needs first. I chose Laura because I trust her. She has been steady throughout different stages of my life, and her advice has always been thoughtful and timely. One memorable moment that stands out for me is how she supported me during a major life transition when I fell sick. Thanks to her encouragement to enhance my critical illness coverage earlier on, the policy came in at the right time—just a year later—when I needed it most. She checked in, guided me patiently through the process, and made everything so much easier during a very difficult period.

What sets Laura apart from other financial consultants is her genuine care and personal approach. She doesn’t begin with products — she starts by truly understanding my needs, goals, and spending habits. Her advice is always thoughtful and tailored, never transactional. What makes Laura exceptional goes far beyond financial planning. She has walked with me through some of the most challenging moments in my life —one financial crisis, and 2 medical emergencies within the last 15+ years. Her quiet presence and strength gave me emotional grounding and practical support, especially when I was overwhelmed with uncertainty. I’m incredibly grateful for Laura’s consistent care, deep expertise, and unwavering support. Even when overseas, she goes the extra mile — like the time she called a dentist friend from Chicago to help with a dental emergency I was panicking over! If you’re looking for a financial consultant who truly cares, listens deeply, and stands by you beyond the numbers — I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to Laura. You’ll be in very good hands.

Gerard Tong . Director, Epitrain Pte Ltd Adjunct Professor. SMU, NUS

Let me start by saying I am not an easy person to deal with. I am impatient, opinionated and stubborn. The fact that Laura has been servicing me since 2004, and is the only Financial Advisor whom I have bothered to speak more than 5 words to, speaks volumes of her approach, presentation and knowledge. From the start, I made it clear that as a (now retired) financial market professional, I was not interested to hear about investment-linked policies, believing that I could do a better job that the fund managers. Laura kept that in mind, and respected that, occasionally making a passing recommendation on a fund she felt was really worth looking at, but immediately putting that aside as soon as I impatiently gave her a dismissive wave. Instead, she focused on building up a portfolio of policies which covered other critical areas, such as death, sickness, mortgage protection and such. Never over-selling, she would not push more coverage than was required to me. Not the sort of insurance agent to close a deal, collect their commission and forget the client, Laura readily advised and assisted with claims, and consistently checked up on my situation in life, personal and financial to review my coverage, even advising me on my plans to scale back as my coverage requirements shrank with age. Just this month, after identifying that I was losing interest in managing my own money, but still wanting superior returns, she sold me a bond fund policy, after years of watching my dismissive hand. It shows great professionalism, keeping mum about investment-linked policies all these years, but always keeping a look out for changes in my life state, and bringing it up again when it has become appropriate. If you’re looking for a professional, competent, reliable Financial Advisor (in truth, we all NEED one, even if we have not realised it yet), who genuinely cares about you, then look no further.

Sharon Lim, Senior Director. MINDEF

Laura has been advising me for almost two decades, and I trust and value her deep expertise and wise counsel. What really makes Laura stand out is her genuine care for her clients. She focuses on the client’s unique circumstances and needs, and customises her recommendations with her clients’ best interests in mind. It’s been a privilege to have Laura advise me, and I would recommend her to anyone who needs good financial advice.

I was first introduced to Laura by a close friend in 2021 when I shared with him that I needed some help on CPF planning for my retirement. When I first met Laura, I was impressed with her level of professionalism. She took the time to really understand my financial situation, my goals and my needs before recommending what I should do with regards to my query on my CPF monies. She is very clear and simple in her explanations and gave me a very clear overview and provided me with financial advice beyond what I had expected, and not just confined to retirement planning. Laura is not pushy in her approach and is sincere, knowledgeable and experienced. I am glad to have her to help me manage my portfolio and strongly recommend anyone who needs professional and trusted advice to meet up with her.
