My Beliefs. My Principles. My System.

In addition to my strong belief, my guiding principles, my robust system, I could like to explain my planning process which I call it "H.E.A.R.D."

More often than not, people want to be heard and once they have been heard, they will want to hear from you more. Thus we could delight our clientele and "heard" what they have to say and not to "hurt" them for not achieving their goals during the process.

In a nutshell, "HEARD" is a financial planning process to provide a path to construct client-adviser relationship, a mutual agreement to work hand-in-hand for the long haul. Since financial planning is not just about getting a product to have a quick fix, it is a long, tedious and can be quite trying at times, to build trust based on long term mutual commitment on both parties.

Let's this prezi presentation to illustrate my point further.

  2. Longevity - Our average age is increasing, there is life after 65. We need to have a financial plan to handle it.
  3. Entrepreneurship - Being your own boss and having more control of your own destiny are part of Singaporean dream. This industry is perfect environment for the entrepreneurial spirit.
  4. Financial Freedom - Building a nest egg is a way of buying the freedom and security people are looking for. Financial Advisers get to do that for themselves and their clients.
  5. Value - More and more financial institutions are aware that market place are changing, clients are getting more aware, prices are getting competitive, which means that clients are the greatest beneficiaries because they can receive better advice and more value than ever before.
  6. Road Map for success - The successful road maps of past advisers are well documented and readily available. This is good news for new hires. They don't have to learn from the school of hard knocks.
  7. Volatility - The volatility of the stock market has hit us like a ton of bricks, as has the need for good financial advice and trustworthy advisers.
  8. Long Term Thinking - Patience and Perseverance have come back in style, and people are realising that the truth will not only set you free, it'll keep you free. Reputations are golden in this industry as in the need for a long term financial plan.
