YES FINANCIAL BERHAD

My background as a Chartered Accountant, former investment banker and former CFO & Executive Director of 2 public listed companies gives me the advantage of a deep understanding of finance and capital markets.

As a Licensed Financial Adviser and Planner, I work with clients to understand their financial goals and help them to develop Personalised Investment Plans according to their goals and personalities.

I provide a full range of Financial Advisory services.  These include Investment, Insurance, Wills & Trusts and Bereavement Pre-Planning.

Providence Msia is a Wealth Management company.  We help High Net Worth Individuals looking for Private Equity or Private Debt opportunities, for e.g. pre-IPO investments.

Business Director

Nirvana Asia Group

I work with Nirvana to provide bereavement pre-planning solutions for my clients.  Often times people neglect planning for this and are shocked when they need to pay a significant lump sum of cash upon the passing of a loved one.

With pre-planning, the price is lower and one can pay by zero interest instalment.

I help clients to structure their wealth distribution e.g. taking into account debts which need to be settled, creating Trusts tailor-made to client's needs and writing a will which can be executed smoothly.

Clients who come to me usually have prior limited success with structured products offered by private banking.

I bring the advantage of accessibility to many types of licensed and proven investment products which are only available to Licensed Financial Planners.  These products are not allowed to be carried by banks.
