"Happy to recommend Sean. We found Sean to be friendly, diligent and thorough on his advise with no pressure."
​
- Sam Vilo, Managing Director - Head of ALM Singapore at Standard Chartered Bank
​
​
"First and foremost, Sean is a very personable personality, which is always important when navigating the world of personal finance, wealth creation and retirement planning. He was equally comfortable dealing with my rudimentary understanding of our options, as well as able to explain to my non-financial focussed wife in terms she was able to understand and appreciate. Sean was extremely knowledgable about the opportunities and potential pitfalls of investing and planning for long term savings as an Australian expat abroad. Not only was he able to repair some of my misconceptions, but the particular vehicle he advised fit our needs perfectly. I highly recommend Sean as someone to speak to for your future planning."

- Prabhu Chandramohan, Director - Deutsche Bank
​
"Sean has displayed a great knowledge in financial markets and has helped us to maximize our investment returns. He is very easy to talk to, making complicated concepts easy to understand. We have found him to be very reliable, which is critical in choosing a consultant to manage the family financial affairs. I would be comfortable to recommend Sean to anyone who is seeking quality financial advice."
