In Touch

A Monthly Curated Newsletter

In the last issue, we discussed how robots will change our lives in the future. It has become increasingly important for us to keep our minds on the ball, stay sharp and stay progressive. If half the jobs in 2020 are yet to be known to us, how can we prepare ourselves and our children today? To face a fast changing future, we need to first understand it. We need to try and take a peek into this future and start to embrace change.

What skills does Singapore need for the future economy?

We live in a time when roughly half of the jobs in 2020 are not yet known to us, and conversely, half of the jobs today will be extinct.

10 Job Skills You'll Need in 2020

The world of work —and the world in general—is changing. People are living longer, new technologies are emerging, and we’ve never been more globally connected. That means the skills we use now in the workplace are not necessarily the skills we’ll need in the future.

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.

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.

There are many insurance and financial consultants out there. So generally speaking, buying an insurance policy these days is not a difficult task. However, I found that having an financial consultant that listens to me, that accurately identifies my needs, that understands me and provides me with the right vehicles to secure my future, is an extremely daunting task. Fortunately, I found a planner that has all the above traits and is a very hard worker; Lata Shamdasani. I have recently purchased insurance policies through Lata. She explained to me in detail, the different offers from different perspectives. Very honestly, Lata explained to me what was covered and -more importantly- what was not covered. I know that Lata has put forth a lot of effort and time to compile a policy that suits my needs. I am truly grateful for all the help and knowledge Lata has provided and I know that Lata will be a great help to anyone who wants to secure their future.

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.

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.
