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.

He has an astute understanding of the markets, able to cater to varying needs of clients and engage at a level comfortable for them.

Joshua has been very helpful in providing financial advice to his client! He will take the effort to understand the financial situation of his client and assist them in planning for the future in the best way possible. He provides his analysis and explains the various plans in a way that is easily understandable by focusing on the content of the product and how it applies to the client, rather than just hard selling the product which some financial consultants will do. He is also very patient and takes his time to do his research to help his customers.

Tan Yu Hui, Software Consultant

Joshua has been my financial advisor since I started work officially in 2020. I am not someone who is well read in the area of insurance, and at every step of the process of purchasing my insurance, he has been very patient in explaining the terms and advising me on what would suit me best. Joshua is also straightforward with his advice and I consider him to be trustworthy. His wealth of knowledge in the industry is also strongly backed up with his MDRT achievements and his recent Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC) certification. With his ability, you can rest easy knowing that your finances are in good hands.

Augustine Tan, Global Data Analyst, Bloomberg LP

Joshua is straightforward as an agent, and as a friend. I appreciate the fact that he is not afraid to challenge your goals and assumptions, and his ability to steer your thinking to consider different perspectives, one which you may not have considered before. I appreciate his attention to small details such as our yearly cash flow planning and his genuine curiosity about my life so he is better equipped to advise me financially. He puts his money where his mouth is and I only regret I did not know him earlier in my financial planning journey. Nevertheless, he has never been pushy about me surrendering my existing policies, and is happy to work according to my needs. I also value his advice in other life aspects like the workplace and personal relationships, and am glad to be able to say that if I encounter any difficulties, he will be there for me as a friend first, and an agent second. I thank fate for bringing us back together as I know I’m in good hands

Chua Yong Fa, Test Engineer, Tiktok Singapore

Joshua is logical and resourceful person. He will always figure out a way to resolve any problems whether it be with his own knowledge and experience, or through the employment of the expertise of specialists in other fields relating to the problem. His never-say-die nature and hardworking attitude pushes him to keep striving on to improve himself to be better as a person and an advisor. His honest and straightforward personality allows me to be able to share things with him to seek advice from him and also have an intellectually stimulating conversation with no holds barred. Having known him for more than 10 years, seeing his workstyle and growth from being the class chairman to the canoeing captain to becoming an advisor, I've grown to trust in his ability and workstyle to resolve problems pertaining to his craft. The connection that I have with him grows far beyond what any other agents have, which allows for ever more effective communication with him to get things done. I strongly believe that this bond we have will go a long way both in our friendship and the relationship we have as advisor and client.
