Many of us lead busy and stressful lives. Even when we may be caught up meeting deadlines, sprinting towards our next goals, or looking after our families, we cannot neglect taking appropriate breaks for our well-being. While it may feel counter-intuitive to do so, sometimes the best thing is simply to step away from the four concrete walls to go for a walk outdoors. It refreshes the mind, body and soul, and is beneficial for our health and creativity. So let's lace up our trainers and walk our stresses away.

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.

Gabriel Borgon, Lead Commissioning and Qualification Engineer

I’ve been with Laura for almost 10 years, and in that time she’s always taken care of my insurance needs with clarity and care. She explains everything in a way that makes it easy to understand and always keeps me updated when better options become available. I first came to her through a friend’s recommendation, and I’ve been thankful ever since. One moment that really stood out was when part of a claim was initially rejected—Laura didn’t back down, pushed on my behalf, and got it covered. That kind of dedication gives me real peace of mind and shows the difference she makes.

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.

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.

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.
