Gene joined this industry when he was 24. The initial motivation for a career switch was to potentially earn his first pot of gold – which is a common mindset most advisors have, when joining the industry. However, after successfully submitting his first claim for a client who was diagnosed with early lung cancer, his paradigm and mindset shifted. He was able to find a purpose for his work besides merely making a living as a financial consultant.
Gene then started providing corporate lunch-time seminars on topics like CPF Life, Retirement and Estate planning.
Also, as a way to give back to society, he has joined the volunteering group such as Junior Achievement – which provides basic financial education for children in Primary Schools.
With the years of expertise and experience under his belt, he has since taken up a leadership role as an Agency Development Manager in 2020, where he will challenge himself to train and nurture the next generation of commited and responsible advisors.
"The money you make is a symbol of the value you create"
– a quote which Gene proudly stands by, each day.

Engaging Gene has always been a comfortable experience. He is always clear with the agenda and ensures that he is prepared for the discussion. He makes it a point to patiently understand my requirements or queries clearly before offering his advice – which is usually a sound and substantiated one. If more fact-finding is required, he always reverts with all the necessary information that’s clearly presented - making it reassuring for my decision-making. It is also in Gene’s DNA to serve customers with their interests at heart. This is apparent in his relentless pursuit to devise the best possible plan that will be well suited to maximize my long-term benefit.
I must credit Gene for instilling in me the confidence that my investments are in good hands and well taken care of by a professional team and a very dedicated advisor. Kudos to you Gene!

He is able to provide sound advice to my financial queries. His meticulous nature also ensured a detailed planning of portfolio and insurance coverages.
