In Touch

A Monthly Curated Newsletter

In this issue, I'd like to do something different. All of the highlights are very interesting videos from TED talks about the way we think. The videos are between 15 to 30 minutes, but they are well worth your time I promise. Hope these resources will help create marginal changes in your life every so often. Let's be enlightened together!

Are we in control of our own Decisions?

Behavioral economist Dan Ariely, the author of Predictably Irrational, uses classic visual illusions and his own counterintuitive (and sometimes shocking) research findings to show how we're not as rational as we think when we make decisions.

Thanks for your support in helping us better understand our various Insurance policies.

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.

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.

Christel Gomes, Writer & Trainer

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!

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.

I recently moved back to Singapore after 9 years and getting insured was a big priority. After dealing with various insurers and independent financial consultants, I was left frustrated and confused, until I met Lata. What struck me the most was her ability to truly listen to my needs, and her passion and determination in helping me find the right solutions. Lata has been professional, punctual, consistent, genuinely warm, caring and empathetic throughout our journey, and we have become friends along the way. She really knows her stuff and I am now happily insured, and feeling much more secure about my future. It is not an understatement to say that Lata has helped me sleep better at night and I highly recommend her and Prudential for all your financial needs.
