Jennifer Chua

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.

Throughout the years, Laura has consistently demonstrated professionalism, integrity, and a genuine commitment to our well-being. What sets Laura apart is not only her deep knowledge of insurance and financial planning, but also the patience and clarity with which she explains every option. She ensures that we fully understand the choices available so that we can make informed decisions with confidence. Whether it’s reviewing our policies, assisting with claims, or providing thoughtful advice on our financial protection, Laura has always been responsive, reliable, and proactive. She consistently goes the extra mile to ensure that our needs are well taken care of. In an industry where trust is everything, we truly value the long-term relationship we’ve built with Laura. Knowing that we have someone dependable, honest, and attentive looking out for our interests gives us tremendous peace of mind. Thank you, Laura, for more than two decades of outstanding service and dedication. We are deeply grateful for your guidance and look forward to many more years of partnership.

Yvonne Tan. Fitness Instructor

I first got to know Laura in 2022 when she came to me to embark on her fitness journey. As a Financial consultant, Laura is very sincere and has the ability to convey her recommendations in a very digestible, easy-to-understand format. Through her review session with me, she was able to 1. Give me a Birds Eye view of my overall financial position. 2. Identify the gaps that I was unaware of 3. Consolidate a clear summary and develop a comprehensive action plan. My experience with her has been enriching. She is knowledgeable and informative and most importantly, does not pressure me to make any decisions. I would strongly recommend her to meet anyone who needs a competent financial consultant who puts your needs first and lets you make your decision without pressure.

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.

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.
