A Monthly Curated Newsletter

It's been a while since the subject of Retirement was discussed. In this issue's video, it's quite interesting to see how children have different ideas about Retirement. I'm sure all of us have our ideas as well. Yet life can mercilessly erode these dreams. But not if we are really serious about them. So how serious is your retirement dream?

Pearl Lim (AIA MDRT qualifer)

I became a mother in 2012 and i made many new mummy friends through Facebook. At that time i was looking for an insurance agent to get some plans for my newborn. That was when I was introduced to Jerry in 2013 by one of the mummies, Irene. I got some plans for my son, followed by myself and my other family members as we feel that Jerry is a very knowledgeable and responsible person. Even though he is very busy with work, he would definitely meet in person to process claims or give financial advice. At that time, I was a relationship manager handing corporate accounts in a bank. He asked if I was interested to become a financial planner and join him in his mission to save more lives and help people in financial planning. I rejected him straight away as I have insecurities about financial stability as a self employed. It was after the birth of my second child that I started having problems striking a balance between family and work. Subsequently, I left my job at the bank and joined his team in early 2017. Since then, I never looked back... even though my first 2 years were tough. I am enjoying my job now! Jerry continues to handle some of my insurance plans, hence, he is now my planner, my friend, my mentor and also my boss. He gives me a lot of freedom in the way I run my business and he will review my performance regularly and update me on my progress for various campaigns and awards and motivate me to achieve more. Because of his constant support in this career, I am thankful that I was able to achieve MDRT this year despite the pandemic situation.

Matthew (MOE Educator) & Rebecca (Full-time tutor)

Jerry was my (Rebecca) classmate in university and has always come across as a warm and helpful friend. Today, also as our financial advisor, he continues to give timely advice and a listening ear to our concerns. There were instances where we consulted him and his unassuming nature and objective perspective encouraged us greatly in our decision making process. We are thankful that our paths have crossed and we would not hesitate to recommend him to family and friends who are in search of a trusted and reliable advisor. Thumbs up for Jerry!

Hong Yang (Year 6 AIA FSC)

Ever since I joined Jerry back then in Oct 2017, he has always been a role model that I looked up to in all aspect. Other than being a leader and a father of 3 girls, he is in the Product Committee & ALMA. On top of all these, he is also a producer in AIA. Despite having to handle so many things, he never once turned down his mentees and FSCs that approached him for help. Instead of spoon-feeding his consultants with direct answer, he would guide the consultants by giving them “homework” to do then learn from it. With all the stuffs that he is currently taking on, I am really in awe with his time management, self discipline and mental strength. To me, Jerry defines “Extraordinary”.​ “The difference between Ordinary & Extraordinary is that little extra.”​

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!

Nady Yang (SUSS undergraduate)

It was a fruitful session with Jerry! It was eyeopening as it was my first time meeting a financial advisor and I didn’t know what to expect. But he patiently shared and educated me all the plans and the possible financial paths and decisions I can make now for the future. Jerry also made the policies' jargons easy to absorb and I think I now have a clearer view of the steps I should take to reach my goals. Overall, I look forward to learning more from him. Jerry, you again for taking out your time for this session 😆

Yin Peng (Lazada, Vice President)

I was introduced to Jerry by his wife 8 years ago. Back then, I was quite skeptical about financial advisor. However Jerry won me over with his professionalism, dedication and expertise. Today, Jerry is my go-to person for all sorts of issues. He is a very warm and caring person. He had helped me solve / advise me on issues where I could not make up my mind or I have doubts on. I am so glad that our path crossed and I am very grateful to have him as a friend! I would not hesitate to recommend him to my friends who are in need of financial advice!
