A Monthly Curated Newsletter

There are many new things to deal with at this time while we are being isolated from life-as-usual. A new lifestyle, a new future and something that can be quite subtle - a new kind of burnout. It should do us well to be aware about this so we can learn to disengage when we need to. I wish you and your loved ones good health and may you continue to stay safe!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
