With her deep knowledge and focus on the well-being of her clients, she is willing to spend significant time and energy to ensure that I am well covered at all times. As the years progressed, she is not only just a financial consultant to me, she is also a friend whom I can trust. I would readily recommend her service to my family members and friends.

Aside from being an astute financial adviser, Diana is very knowledgeable and is always able to answer my queries with easy to understand layman terms.

Having been first introduced to Diana by my husband, I found her very knowledgeable. Not only does she explain and update us, she will recommend what she feels will benefit us the most. She truly listens to our family’s needs and help us out. Meeting her is always a catch-up as friends! Diana has truly gone above and beyond to help us out, even when she didn’t have to.

Danny Chew. Senior Operations Executive. OUB Centre Limited

Diana has been a great financial adviser and friend for the past decade. Since the first time I met up with her for the first financial review, Diana has shown the commitment of looking for positive ways to better my coverage, financial growth and retirement needs. Other than the quarterly meetups to review my coverage, there are also the constant sharing of market changes and updates of new plans Prudential has to offer. In the years of providing her expertise, she has been showing her in-depth understanding of financial planning. Along with a good listening ear, she has been recommending products to address my concerns. Unlike other financial planners, Diana is not pushy and does not focus on selling policies. Thanks to her recommendations, I am able to increase my coverage for the possible emergencies one can face in life, better my expected financial status at retirement and set my mind at ease should I ever meet with an unexpected situation. I look forward to the many more decades to come with Diana as my financial adviser.

Margaretha Gouwanda. Freelance Accountant.

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.
