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. | | | | Johnny Wong (Regional HR Manager, Croda) & Jaslyn We have had the privilege of being supported by Laura for more than 20 years, and we can confidently say that the service and care we’ve received have been exceptional from day one. 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. | | | | 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.
| | | | 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. | | | | Jeremy Koh. Senior Manager. ASM 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. | | | | 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.
