| Albert Einstein said, "Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it earns it. He who doesn't, pays it." In every financial crisis, there are generally two groups of people. Those who ride above the wave, and those who suffer the pain. The first group seems to be more prepared, as if they knew long ago that something was going to happen. What's their Secret? This group of people understand a simple philosophy, "You don't plan to fail but you fail to plan." They started early and took advantage of the Eighth Wonder of the World. They are more ready for impact than others. There's more During times of great impact is also a time of great opportunities for investment. Yet only those who are prepared are able to take advantage of undervalued assets. Here's a very good illustration to visualise the power of the Eighth Wonder of the World. | We've got the Story.

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.
| | | | Eugene & Cheryl Teng. Aunty Laura (we call her aunty because she has been helping us since we were kids) has been providing financial advice for our entire family for close to 20 years!
She has been very supportive of us and with changes to the economy, have helped us adapt our financial situation accordingly as well.
Thanks Aunty Laura for all your help, providing us with a headstart as compared to the other kids my age. Of course I have to thank my mum for investing in us, but due to Aunty Laura's help, my sister and I have been able to be covered comprehensively since we were young, which many kids in Singapore do not have the luxury to do so.
Onwards another 20 years!😄

Auntie Laura has been my mum's insurance agent since I was young and have seen me grew up from a child to an adult. I witness how she has help my mum handled her finances and also health insurances, to ensure that we are all well covered. Now that I have grown up, I have also entrust my financial and health insurance portfolio with Auntie Laura. She would provide relevant advises and coverage that I should get and would explain in detail each plan purposes. Her patient and bubbly character makes it easy to approach whenever I have queries for my plans and making the exchange a stress-free and comfortable setting. 🙂

Total Energies | | | | Chee Hok Yean. President Asia Pacific. 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. | | | | 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.
| | | | Carol Koh. Associate Lecturer & Swimming Coach. Republic Polytechnic Laura is a childhood friend whom I had not caught up with in ages. When we first met up many years later, the feeling was so comfortable, even when I asked her for financial advice as a friend.
As such, I decided that she would make a good financial advisor. She was very attentive and understood my needs. She is very knowledgeable in financial planning and gives sound advice.
With Laura as my financial advisor, I know that I am in good hands! Thanks to Laura, I feel more assured of my retirement plans and I’m definitely more covered medically! | | | | Aik Teng, Sports Development Manager. Sport Singapore 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. | | | | |
