In Touch

A Monthly Curated Newsletter

In this issue, I'd like to do something different. All of the highlights are very interesting videos from TED talks about the way we think. The videos are between 15 to 30 minutes, but they are well worth your time I promise. Hope these resources will help create marginal changes in your life every so often. Let's be enlightened together!

Testimonials and Referral Notes

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.

Erwin Wong. Supply Chain Planner.

I've been friends with Diana since the early 2000s, and she reached out to assist in planning for my financial needs when I entered the workforce. All through the stations of my life, Diana has offered sound advice and recommendations in making financial plans for my present and future. She has done so with her wealth of skills, experiences and expertise gained in the industry. Her accolades are a testament to her talent, ability and hard work put in as a financial consultant, but when we meet to catch up on life or to do regular financial reviews, we do so as long-time friends. This makes the friendship even more heartwarming, because Diana is someone that I would trust this important aspect of my life with.

Pearl Kaur. Manager. AGC Academy.

Diana has been my consultant for almost 10 years now. She has always amazed me with how updated she is about the latest changes, new plans on offer and industry trends. She is sharp and able to strategise on how to maximise the utility and returns on my portfolio by changing up plans or adding different riders. It is such a comfort to have a consultant that you can trust to make the best decisions for you. Her genuine care for her clients and warm personality coupled with a strong business acumen has made investing in insurance a stress-free experience for me.

Angelyn Ng. Manager.

Diana has been our financial adviser for more than 11 years and she is able to recommend suitable solutions through the different stages of my life and our family. She is very passionate about her job and regularly reaches out with updates and suggestions to improve our portfolios. She is very knowledgeable, friendly, approachable and helpful. Diana is a friend that encourages one another around her. I will happily recommend her to anyone who's looking for holistic and personalised financial advice.

Minhao Wong. Account Manager. Chevron Oronite Pte Ltd

When I knew Diana through a mutual friend, she had already come with many years of experience in the industry. Diana was able to quickly identify the right policies and solutions that suit my lifestyle and family's needs. She was able to provide insightful advice that helped me understand the importance of building a portfolio to help support my children's future education needs. She will also help me navigate any paper work and claims processes whenever there is a need. Diana would also regularly check in with me to update on our situation. Over the years, she has become a reliable support. I am glad to say that she is now a personal friend that I will recommend to anyone who needs her expertise.

Elissa Chia. Senior Manager, Communications. Higher Education Sector.

Diana puts her best foot forward when advising my financial needs and recommending viable solutions. She is generous with her time and commits herself to ensure I understood the various products and my portfolio. Diana is up-to-date with Singapore public policies, and provides good advice. She understands my liabilities and asks the right questions in order for me to derive at my own conclusion. She is an asset, in all sense of the word!
