Dharshini. Compliance Manager

Lata has been a warm, caring and helpful agent to me since 2014. When I needed to make a claim, she stepped in immediately to do the needful and got everything sorted quickly and efficiently. She takes the time to understand my needs before recommending any products to me. I believe that she truly cares for her clients. I would recommend lata without hesitation. Her services are great!

Kavita

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! 

Sunita Venkataraman, Senior Vice President & Group Head, Research & Insights

Lata has been a friend and my wealth planner for about 8 years now. I really enjoy my sessions with her since she is really well read and stays updated on markets and the global economies. Her suggestions are never given lightly and she always provides options that we discuss and then decide. She is always available to me and her other clients, and if ever I need her urgently, she always finds the time to meet with me. She's one of the warmest, kindest people I know and is always thinking about what's best for her clients, even at personal cost to herself. I would recommend Lata's services to anyone without hesitation.

Marife Destajo Labayo. Senior Associate Asia Pacific. Star Private Limited 

For several years Ms Lata has been our Family Insurance Agent. She has shown and provided an exceptional service. Always ready, willing to help and answer questions in times of need. I am glad to know her and to have her as our insurance agent.

Dr Granville Ed D’Souza. Author/Leadership Speaker/ EQ & Resilience Facilitator & Coach. CEQ Asia P L

Lata has been one of the most sincere and authentic financial consultants I have met. Having purchased quite a number of policies in the past, I was put in a position to transfer my policy to be placed under her care. She diligently showed me how I could save on my policy, detect what I needed at this stage of my life with great clarity and consult me on what aspects can be replaced. Her knowledge about the company’s products is unmatched when I compare her with others I have dealt with in the past. Her kind, pleasant disposition and patience is a reason I feel she has scaled to where she is now. I have total clarity about my medical needs and wellbeing now and with her instant replies, I now know I am in good hands.

Alberto & Clares

Arranging for private medical insurance was a priority for me when I relocated to Singapore for my job. Although I, my wife and children have medical coverage thanks to my job, I was keen to ensure we had private coverage in place too. Lata was good at listening to our concerns and our wishes, and gave us clear, focused advice on what would best suit our needs and situation. She listens intently, has a quick and sharp mind and recommends a good fit in line with needs and concerns, rather than trying to push a product. We have since turned to her for guidance on other concerns too and are happy to recommend her.
