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!

Shi Hua (MOE Educator)

I've known Jerry for more than a decade. From ex colleagues to friends, he is someone whom one can count on whenever you need advice. To me and my family, he is not just a financial advisor or your typical agent, he is a friend who is always ready to render his help and of course his expertise in his field of profession to make sure that me and my family are well taken care of in our health protection as well as our financial investments. One thing that sets him apart is that no doubts or worries that I have is ever too trivial for him. To him, what ever matters to us, matters to him and he will try his very best to help! So if u ever need a trustworthy and reliable advisor, Jerry is the man!

Darryl Lim (SIM undergraduate and advisor to be)

Jerry has been my family’s trusted financial planner for many years. This all began when he aided my parents with their motor insurance. Unnecessary insurance costs were cut and it helped in the growth of my family business. Jerry, caring and knowledgeable, would always respond swiftly to the needs of my family. It is unfortunate that my family had to made a few claims over the years. However, with Jerry’s meticulous financial planning, all claims thus far were successful and it has greatly brought peace of mind to my family. Further, with proper financial planning that Jerry has provided, my parents will be able to retire with a comfortable sum of money for them to enjoy retirement to its fullest. These have showed me the works of comprehensive financial planning and how it aids in bringing peace to the affected individual and family members. Being a people’s person, this showed me how I materialize the empathy I have for others through this career.

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. :)

Eunice Chan (Year 3 AIA FSC), ex-Singapore Police Force

I met Jerry in 2021 as a manager of my FSC during that time and Jerry amazed me with his meticulous analytical skills and how he provided quality advice for my financial portfolio. Hence, I felt very assured that my friend - whom is also my FSC at that time, found a reliable mentor and manager. Moving forward a year later, I approached Jerry when I was considering to join the insurance line, and I never looked back ever since. Jerry has been an extremely supportive leader who is always there for me when I needed both contextual and practical guidance for my work. As a new FSC in 2022, the unwavering support Jerry provided me was beyond what I expected him to do. Till today, whenever I needed help, Jerry never says no. Thank you Jerry for making me conceptualise that I made the right choice for choosing this industry and for choosing you as my manager/mentor. I am looking forward to many more years to working with you and to achieve greater heights! 💯

Ernest Toh (Year 2 AIA FSC, Year 3 NTU Undergraduate)

“Focus on your studies, I want you to do well in studies”, that’s was what Jerry told me during our first meet up. That’s when i knew that he is different from other leaders, who cares about the well-being of his associates.​ I know that I am in good hands under his guidance and very lucky to have him as my mentor. Jerry is very patient and nurturing, an educator at heart. He take time off his busy schedule to conduct training sessions with us and ad-hoc video calls whenever I needed help.​ He’s always ready to respond to my questions even late at night. Even though my journey have just started, I’m already looking forward to reach greater heights with Jerry and the team.​

Esther Lim (Homemaker)

My husband and I knew Jerry since 2014. His in-depth knowledge of the field has helped us a huge deal in our financial and insurance needs. Beyond professional expertise, his friendly disposition makes him a great friend as well. Of course, with his whole team, most importantly, you can count on them for prompt claims reimbursement. Definitely recommended 👍🏻
