| Dignity is the state or quality of being worthy of honour or respect by virtue of being human, and every person has an intrinsic need to feel valued and needed. Yet, in our world, there is often a gap between the ideals and realities of how dignity is accorded to individuals across age, gender, social statuses and financial positions. In this issue, I'd like to bring attention to the topic of dignity, and the ways which we can protect & honour the dignity of others and ourselves. | | Building dignity and purpose to create greater performance and wellbeing A pandemic, economic volatility and unimaginable pressures are accelerating a re-think of what it takes to build dignity and purpose and work. Never has the concept of organizational purpose been so well understood, the importance of wellbeing so crucial or the need for respect so great. | | Five Lessons About Financial Well-Being Money is power. Power to keep yourself and your family safe, and to make choices with dignity and freedom. Money provides a springboard, a soft landing, and the resources to enjoy life. And as such, money provides the financial underpinning of human thriving. | | How do we find dignity at work? | Roy Bahat and Bryn Freedman | | Proudly Brought to You I seek to reach out to people who believe in safeguarding the interests of their loved ones.

Jerry has been with my family and our family business for as long as I can remember. He has literally seen me grow up through my various stages of life. But it took an unfortunate series of events that really led me to realise the importance of financial planning and insurance, and got me thinking about how to better manage my own. So who better to find than Jerry? And ever since then, things have gotten for the better. To have a mentor that actively makes time for his team is a difficult find - not to mention that Jerry himself is extremely busy. From weekly training sessions to suddenly having to meet someone the next day, Jerry has always put in his 110% effort in making sure that we are constantly learning. It doesn’t matter whether it’s 11 am or 11 pm, you can always contact him. Couldn’t ask for more! | | | | Hon Van (Accountant, Penta-Chem Services) We first knew Jerry and his team from 2018, they are not only our insurance advisor but also became our friends.
When we have any questions or need any help from them, they will respond to us very quickly, answering all our queries. At the first meetup, my husband and I trust him because of his expertise, his patience and his friendly nature. When any friend ask me about any insurance agent, I am very confident to introduce them to Jerry and his team.
Thank you Jerry and your team for everything. :) | | | | Vicky Huang (Year 1 AIA FSC, Year 1 NUS undergraduate) I first met Jerry in 2019 when I was curious about the financial industry and is looking for a good opportunity to join. I have talked to a few planners before eventually deciding to join Jerry’s team. One of the main reasons is that he gave me a very clear and objective view of the industry and what to expect etc. and he was very genuine in his sharing. Now, moving forward, Jerry is my mentor and he has inspired me to be a more hardworking individual. He has provided me with guidance in my journey as a student financial planner and he is always there to listen, help and give feedback even though he is very busy. Looking forward to learn more from Jerry! | | | | Hsiang Yao (A* Scientist) & Ying Ying (MOE Educator) Jerry is the first person that comes to my mind whenever I need any financial advice. He has always been prompt and patient in answering all my queries, and I know that I can trust him because of his expertise. Jerry is someone who is passionate and dedicated in his work, and he truly cares for the people around him. Jerry always help others sincerely. It's my pleasure to have him as my friend and my financial consultant!

from HY | | | | Ms Marlene Tan (MOE Educator) Planning for your family and future is important, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have worked with Jerry as my financial advisor. Finding someone I felt truly comfortable with was a challenge, but knowing Jerry from our time as colleagues, I knew he wasn’t the typical hard-sales type. And I was right—Jerry is everything you’d hope for in a financial advisor: sincere, patient, efficient, and genuinely invested in your best interests.
What sets Jerry apart is his willingness to listen. He takes the time to understand your needs, current profile, and existing policies before offering advice. There’s never any pressure—just thoughtful guidance based on what’s best for you, not what benefits him. His approach is long-term; he doesn’t just focus on immediate solutions but carefully plans for your future as well.
Beyond his sincerity, Jerry is also incredibly efficient. He ensures that everything is handled smoothly and promptly, making the entire process seamless and hassle-free. He puts in the hard work to find the best options, explains them clearly, and follows through with every detail—so you never feel lost or overwhelmed.
Through both his words and actions, it’s clear that Jerry works with integrity. He puts in the effort to ensure you make informed decisions, always considering what truly benefits you. If you’re looking for a financial advisor who prioritizes your well-being, offers sound advice, and gets things done efficiently, Jerry is the one to trust. | | | | Shengmin & Vivian (Director & Co-Founder of The Editor's Market) It was apt that at the intersection of responsibilities as well as financial planning, we were acquainted with Jerry approximately in 2012, when our 1st child was born. Usually heavy topics that encompass disability, critical illness, hospitalization and estate planning, Jerry shares his knowledge in a comprehensible fashion always with a smile.
His service orientation towards his clients is a breath of fresh air and I believe many of his clients’ experience would mirror mine. He responds to queries and follows up promptly in a manner that is consultative and not intrusive. Most importantly he listens with an intent to help navigate your current financial situation with your best interest in mind! | | | | |
