Kerin Chiok. Manager. Akira Corporation Pte Ltd

Diana has been my financial consultant since 2009, and ever since then, she has helped me plan and build up my financial portfolio for my future needs. As a financial consultant, she is very passionate in what she does and takes great pride in her job. 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.

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.

She also regularly reviews my policies with me and helps me to keep track of them. She is aware of my financial commitments and goals and recommends policies that benefit my family and me in the long run.

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.
