A Monthly Curated Newsletter

It isn't the bucket either. One good news is that more people are now surviving cancer. The other good news is that life expectancy has increased from 75 to more than age 80. But hold that thought for a moment - it's only good news if one is financially prepared to survive such a critical challenge.

55% of people withdrew from their savings to fund treatment

Here's some insightful and interesting statistics about cancer survivers, driving home one point - we can even be wrong about being prepared.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
