I've known Lata since my family and I moved to Singapore. She's been a great help and resource to our family's financial planning. A trusted friend indeed. Do get to know her. Would be great to have a good mind to tap on should you need an objective opinion.I was referred to Lata by a good friend of my husband's and met her for a brief discussion about our financial plans. I must say that having a resourceful & knowledgeable friend to call on can really make a difference. I hope you can avail yourself to get to know her too. Highly recommended. Talk soon!

I've known Lata for a while now. Lata is warm, caring, and trustworthy. I generally dread working with financial planners but with Lata I feel at ease. I know that she has my best interests at heart, and I trust her advice. At this point, Lata is not only my financial planner, but she has become a good friend as well. Thanks for everything Lata!

I reminisced the time when I met Lata at the most unexpected place - an acquaintance's birthday party. It was a very good coincidence to meet a financial planner at the right timing in my life. Lata has shown such genuine care and concern when I told her about my new marital status - freshly divorced and a mother to 2 young lives. I was not financially savvy so I listened with full focus when Lata started to give advice about my high maintanence car. 'Sell it, Naz.. Or scrap it. You can save much more.' That was the first advice she gave. I heeded her advice. That eased my financial burden a lot. The next thing for my financial freedom was to settle all credit card debts, which I did. I couldn't be more thankful to Lata for the golden advice. She is always offering her help in anything that she sees she can do. The biggest change Lata had for me was to relook at my medical plan I had covered. She was there for me advising me even though I had an insurance policy covering my hospitalisation. It is certainly rare to have someone guide you unconditionally when you need it at the right time right place. Lata was the right financial advisor for me. Eventually she also looked into my children's well being and chose the best option for their medical care policies and education too. I am so grateful for Lata and I would strongly recommend her to anyone who needs genuine advice and wisdom in financial planning . Thanks to Lata, I am able to manage my finances better and carve a more stable future planning for my 2 young lives.
