Making decisions on property is not trivial, as they often have effects on our quality of life in ways that are not just material but also financial and emotional. Regardless of our experience levels in making decisions on our properties and homes, it helps to have an appreciation of what resources are involved, and how we can be resourceful about them. I hope you find the materials in this issue useful.

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.

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.
