A Monthly Curated Newsletter

As humans, we often like to think we're right, even when we can be wrong at times. Many of us have the unconscious tendency to seek information that support our existing beliefs & disregard or undermine those that do not match ours.

Wilson, Business Relationship Manager

Gary is as many have mentioned, a professional person. I am extremely pleased with his service. He is very patient in explaining the various plans for insurance and has wide knowledge of what he does. Even though I did not purchase many plans from him, he does not force or upsell any plans on me and instead gives me a lot of time to think about it. He is always ready and willing to provide me with information whenever I message and check him on some stuff, even though I know that he is a busy person. I greatly appreciate the advices and services from Gary Giam. I highly recommended him.

June, Operations Manager

Gary is genuine and personable. I really appreciate that he actively listens, and gives good advice and suggestions based on my needs. He makes it easy to understand so I am able to make informed choices. He is organised and prompt in getting back to my queries. I’m very glad to have met him and feel confident with him as my financial advisor.

Wee Tat Yong, Retiree

I was referred to Gary through a friend and since then, he has been my go-to person for my policy matters. One of the things I appreciate about working with Gary is his attention to detail when making recommendations. He takes the time to explain the nuances of the policy and how it will affect me in the long run. He also keeps me up-to-date on recent happenings and news that may impact my policy, which is very valuable to me as a busy person. What sets Gary apart from others is his friendly and approachable nature. He is never pushy and always takes the time to answer my questions, no matter how trivial they may seem. This makes me feel comfortable and confident in his ability to manage my policy needs. Overall, I recommend Gary for anyone looking for an advisor who is easy to work with, detailed in his recommendations, and keeps you informed on the latest news.

Joey Ong, Auditor

Gary is very knowledgeable in sharing his products with his clients. When I was unsure about what i want, he was able to clearly lay out for me my options and i was able to get a clear understanding of what I was lacking and in the end i was able to make the best decisions for myself. He is also very prompt in his replies and after-sales service as he will check in with me once every while. I feel that he makes me comfortable to approach him and he does not make it feel like I'm pressured to purchase any products from him.

Nadiah, Project Manager

Aaron, Auxiliary Police Officer

Throughout my time with Gary, he has displayed a strong sense of professionalism, patience and communication skills. During my zoom sessions with him regarding financial advice, the way he taught me was very visual with many drawings and he took his time to clearly explain concepts in a way makes it easy to pick up and learn. Furthermore he never once rushed through the information and gave me as much time as I need to absorb it. This patience was also displayed in other times when we discussed other topics like insurance and investment-linked products. he would always be swift and happy to answer any questions I had be it big or small. All-in-all Gary has been a very empathetic, professional & friendly Financial Consultant. he has aided me greatly in my financial journey!
