I first met Diana in year 2006 at IT Show Roadshow. I started with a small endowment policy as I had just entered the workforce. Since then, Diana always arranges regular meet ups, at least once or twice a year, to review my policies. She recommends new policies and solutions to ensure that my family continuously has enough coverage to meet our financial needs at different life stages. As I have budget constraints at times, she will make adjustments to maximize my portfolio while keeping my premiums affordable. Diana is professional, meticulous, friendly and approachable. She is helpful and fast whenever I need to file any insurance claims, and this allows me to have a total peace of mind. She is now not only my financial consultant, but also a friend whom i can trust deeply.
