Hiring and retaining talent are keys to any organisation's success.
An organisation that genuinely cares for its employees is one that will be appreciated by their talent, as employees know their well-being is being taken care of by their employer.
Attract and retain dedicated talent to your company with employee benefits and see your company's existing talent nurture and grow within your organisation.

Business security plays a critical role in ensuring uninterrupted and smooth operations. However, even with extreme cautiousness, that is still insufficient. You need to foresee and implement strategies to mitigate the potential damages and/or losses caused by unforeseen circumstances.

Daniel is a unique, one-of-a-kind financial consultant - standing head and shoulders over any financial consultant in the market.
For me, his core strength lies in the detailed documents which he produces annually to update me on my insurance and financial portfolio. These documents give a complete view of my portfolio, year-on-year, in an easy-to-comprehend format. This means at a glance; I know exactly where I stand in terms of my health and insurance protection as well as my wealth and retirement planning. I call these documents my retirement bible. I use these documents all the time to reference and evaluate the status of my health and wealth portfolio. Because of them, I am able to sleep soundly at night.
Our financial and protection needs will change from time to time as we enter different stages of our lives. Daniel always takes time and special care to listen to my evolving needs over the years and without fail, comes up with sound recommendations. I trust his product recommendations because he backs up his recommendations with statistics and numbers, which cannot lie, and guides me on the “real” numbers to look at, that reflect a realistic rate of return on the investment, be it an insurance product or investment-linked product.
I also very much appreciate his prudent approach to wealth management. Understanding that I am now in my retirement phase in life, Daniel has always been careful that my investment decisions do not over-extend beyond my means. This demonstrates a genuine and sincere human being who truly cares about his client’s needs and not just out to make a sale. When he shows that he sometimes also had adopted the same product for his own portfolio, I know that he has thoroughly analysed the product for its protection and/ or investment value, plus he can clearly explain how it fit into my overall portfolio, tailored to my specific needs.
Another strength of Daniel is that he is very responsive and that has not changed over the years. Oftentimes, I have various queries whether updates to my portfolio, new financial products I hear about in the market etc, Daniel has always responded swiftly, with clear explanations of statistics and numbers. When my late father passed away, Daniel was not only quick to help with the insurance process, he and Lee also showed us much empathy and kindness during a very difficult time. When my mother’s health situation changed, Daniel was also fast in acting and forthcoming with details.
Daniel is a truly trusted consultant for me and my family’s insurance and financial needs. I hold him in high regard and have unreservedly recommended him to many of my friends.
Not only has Daniel demonstrated unparalleled skills in health and wealth advisory in terms of product knowledge, ability to research and compare competing products, highlight key statistics that really matter when evaluating investments, what makes Daniel stand out is his character. Genuine, sincerity, integrity, steadfastness, consistency, empathy and generosity are some of his best attributes and his commitment to me, as his client, grew stronger over time.
