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! | | | | Whitney Ting (Year 7 AIA FSC) “格局” and “Let’s not waste time moving around, I’ll settle it for you” were the first few words that truly anchored something in me and from there, the rest is history.
When you’re overwhelmed and hard on yourself internally, he remains the calmest person in the room, always finding a way to reassure you while quietly working to make things happen with his depth of knowledge and experience.
A great leader or mentor makes you feel safe, supported, and confident that you’re in good hands. That alone is enough for me to continue this journey together, striving for a greater breakthrough.
Thank you for the strong connections you build with those around you, and for constantly elevating your knowledge and experience in ways that uplift and benefit others. One day, we’ll meet at the level I’m working towards. Keep shining with that positive inner strength and impacting people around you. 🍀 | | | | 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. | | | | 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! 💯 | | | | 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.

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. | | | | Danial Loke (Year 3 AIA FSC, Year 3 SUSS Undergraduate) Jerry is a leader that leads by example.
