Sukhwinder Gill. Project Manager. Micron. Shannon Gill. Manager - Operations/Logistics. Wilmar International.

Diana has been our family financial advisor for well over a decade now. From the start, she was able to quickly understand my husband’s and my financial needs as well as the type of investments we were more keen in and would get in touch with us when an opportunity befitting our criteria arose. That is a key value addition we have benefitted from due to our busy schedules as we are able to get straight to the point in achieving our goals without wasting time. Over the years she has helped us build our financial goals according to our needs and budget. When my husband and I had our daughter, Diana stepped up and helped us figure out which plans would suit us best even before my daughter was born and that has helped us to start our protection and financial planning for her at a very early age which is advantageous from a cost and value point of view. Diana is a very knowledgeable and committed financial advisor. She has continued to consciously and proactively upgrade herself by constantly gaining more knowledge and experience in her industry in order to serve her clients better all the time. She has deep understanding of the products available and is able to not only tailor solutions according to our needs but also explain how it works in simple easy to understand language. She also shares her own personal experience and strategies which we have found to be very helpful in making our financial decisions. To top it all off Diana is a very nice and easy going person with whom you will quickly develop a friendship with. We are blessed not only to have Diana as our trusted financial advisor but also as a close friend.
