Welcome back the final part of this nine-part mini-series, "The Story of Our Clients’ Wealth Journey", where we explore the wealth management journey of our clients.
This final episode is a very special episode, where we have our Founder and CEO, Christopher, interview one of our clients, Richard Hong, CEO at TÜV SÜD PSB ASEAN, our client of 17 years to date.
As Asia's leading fee-only wealth advisory firm, we are honoured to be able to sit down with Richard, to reflect on how he came to know about Providend, why he continues to trust us in his wealth planning, and the value he sees in partnering with us over these many years.
In this week’s Money Wisdom episode, Chris discussed with Richard on why Providend stood out to him, the value of our advice, and Richard's experience with three different client advisers at Providend.
It is truly a privilege that we are able to see our clients through their journey from climbing the corporate ladder, being family-stewards, to walking towards retirement and fulfilling their life goals. Providend is very honoured to be part of this process for Richard's life and we want to take the chance to say thank you to all our clients that have been with us and trusted us for so many years.
Stay tuned for our next podcast episode, where Amelia from our Brand Experience team will be having a discussion with Chris about his article in The Business Times.

As a trusted adviser to our affluent clients for over two decades, our Founder and CEO, Christopher, was recently invited to Guangzhou. During his visit, Chinese stocks rose by 5.93%, driven by the government’s pledge of fiscal stimulus, only to retreat by 7.05% the following day—a phenomenon we might call a market frenzy.
In this week’s Money Wisdom episode, our co-host Amelia from the Brand Experience Team chats with Chris about his own experience getting caught up in short-term market trends and how he lost a significant sum in the '90s.
At Providend, we prioritise understanding clients’ life goals and major milestones before focusing on financial objectives and selecting suitable instruments. We call these Ikigai goals, and Chris walks us through a case study of John and Amy, a couple in their 50s, who are seeking guidance on retirement, estate, and legacy planning.

Welcome back to part eight of this nine-part mini-series, "The Story of Our Clients’ Wealth Journey", where we explore the wealth management journey of our clients.
As Asia's leading fee-only wealth advisory firm, we have received many questions about who we serve and our work for our clients. So we put together a collection of all the stories that clients and prospective clients shared with us. These stories range from why they sought guidance, the challenges they faced before meeting us, and their journey with Providend.
In this week’s Money Wisdom episode, our co-host Isaac talks to Evelyn, our Deputy CEO & Chief Advisory Officer, about what happens after the planning is done for our clients and the importance of lifelong conversations. The planning is much like a wedding, but afterwards, maintaining a healthy marriage requires regular conversations, as clients' situations will change through different seasons.

As a trusted adviser to our affluent clients for over two decades, our Founder and CEO, Christopher, was invited to the US to attend Dimensional Fund Advisors' Global Advanced Conference. During this trip, he visited San Francisco, Dallas, and Austin, and returned with insights on homelessness, succession planning, and retiring in a foreign land.
In this week’s Money Wisdom episode, our co-host Amelia from the Brand Experience Team chats with Chris about how young Singaporeans can strike a balance between homeownership and saving for the future, without compromising their quality of life.
With housing prices and job security being major concerns, Chris offers advice on how you can live the good life—one that Chris defines as ‘living where you belong, with the people you love, doing purposeful work.’

Welcome back to part seven of this nine-part mini-series, "The Story of Our Clients’ Wealth Journey", where we continue exploring the wealth management journey of our clients.
As Asia's leading fee-only wealth advisory firm, we have received many questions about who we serve and our work for our clients. So we put together a collection of all the stories that clients and prospective clients shared with us. These stories range from why they sought guidance, the challenges they faced before meeting us, and their journey with Providend.
In this week’s Money Wisdom episode, our co-host Isaac talks to Evelyn, our Deputy CEO & Chief Advisory Officer, about the "Advanced Planning" process we implement after our clients' wealth plans have been put into place. They discuss the importance of End-of-Life Planning, Legacy Planning, and Estate Planning, highlighting that there are nuances in planning for our clients' Advance Medical Directive (AMD), Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA), and Advance Care Plan (ACP).
Isaac and Evelyn expand on why it is truly a privilege of the Client Adviser to help clients reflect on their values and goals, ensuring their estate and legacy plans aren’t just about assets but also the meaningful stories and relationships they leave behind.
As Isaac mentioned in the podcast introduction, you can refer to these past two podcast episodes for more details on End-of-Life Planning:

As Asia’s leading fee-only wealth advisory firm, we understand the challenges faced by business owners who are focused on growing their enterprises and may not have had the chance to develop a comprehensive business exit and succession plan.
In this week’s Money Wisdom episode, Isaac interviews Jerome Song, Associate Director of Business Exit at Providend, about the critical aspects of a successful succession plan, including preparing future leaders and retaining top talent during what can be a challenging transition.

He also cites successful succession planning case studies from companies such as Apple and Bengawan Solo.

Given our conservative Asian culture, glean tips from Chris on how to comfortably discuss your Legacy Plan with your loved ones, and how to balance saving for your children’s future while spending on your own happiness.

As the leading fee-only wealth advisory firm in Asia, our Founder and CEO, Christopher, discusses in his Business Times article why you should not simply invest in the S&P 500 alone.
With competing views from sources like Business Insider claiming that the S&P 500 will hit 8,000 to 15,000 points by the end of the decade, does this trigger a 'fear of missing out' for you?
In this week’s Money Wisdom episode, our co-host Amelia, from the Brand Experience Team, asks Chris why the S&P 500 should not be viewed as a simple and seemingly magical solution to a complicated problem. When it comes to enabling your non-negotiable life events such as retirement, it is more important to ensure the reliability and sufficiency of your investment returns.
While it is true that you could achieve a higher return by investing in the S&P 500 compared to a globally diversified portfolio of stocks and bonds, the crucial question is whether you can stomach the risks and ride through the extreme volatility that comes with a single-country index.

A good life varies from person to person and it is crucial to have a deep understanding of each client's needs, and existing resources, putting it through scenario modelling, before we even start to discuss product recommendations or implementations.

In this week’s Money Wisdom episode, our co-host Amelia, from the Brand Experience team, sits down with Chris to explore the emotional aspects and his thoughts beyond what was written in the article on the topic of Business Exit Planning.

Welcome back to part four of this nine-part mini-series, where we delve into the wealth management journey of our clients.
As the leading fee-only wealth advisory firm in Asia, we have been receiving many questions about who we serve and our work for our clients. So we put together a collection of all the stories that clients and prospective clients shared with us. It ranges from why they are looking for guidance, the challenges they faced before meeting us, and their experience working with Providend.
In part one of this mini-series, we covered who our clients are, their concerns, and their need for a trusted wealth adviser. Following that, in part two, we shared the potential reasons for a lack of trust in the advisory industry and the need for sound wealth advice. In part three, we discussed how Providend was set up to be the trusted adviser to our clients, to guide them through a minefield of misinformation with honest, independent, and competent advice.
In this week’s Money Wisdom episode (part four), our co-host Isaac interviews Christopher, our Founder & CEO, about Providend's advisory and planning process and why we go the extra mile to understand our clients' life goals before making any recommendations to them.
The first meeting is termed a "Pre-Discovery" meeting, where we will decide whether there is a mutual fit, before arranging for subsequent meetings. And like a good slow-boil soup, the subsequent meetings are where we take time to know our clients, and what a good life means to them. This is of absolute importance to us, before we start to embark on suggesting specific instruments that would be suitable for them.
Stay tuned for our next podcast episode, where Amelia from our Brand Experience team will be having a discussion with Chris about his article in The Business Times. Do watch out for it!

Being a trusted adviser to our affluent clients for over two decades, it is important to ensure the reliability and sufficiency of investment returns to meet our clients' non-negotiable life goals.
Some weeks ago, our CEO Chris encountered three situations that inspired him to write his Business Times article, with one of them being his recent trip to Guangzhou as a keynote speaker at the Morningstar (China) 2024 Investment Summit. A common theme running through all three encounters was the challenge for investors to stay invested.
In this week’s Money Wisdom episode, our new co-host Amelia, from the Brand Experience team, interviews Chris, beyond what was written in the article. Chris opened up about the lessons Singaporean investors can learn from the Chinese and also shared a case study of what a non-negotiable life goal is and the importance of holistic wealth advice that contributes to our clients achieving these goals.

Welcome back to part two of this nine-part mini-series, where we delve into the wealth management journey of our clients.
Being a trusted adviser to our affluent clients for the past two decades, we have been receiving many questions about who we serve and the work that we do for our clients. So we decided to put together a collection of all the stories that clients and prospective clients shared with us. It ranges from why they are looking for guidance to challenges they faced before meeting us, and their experience working with Providend.
In this week’s Money Wisdom episode, our co-host Isaac probed our Deputy CEO & Chief Advisory Officer, Evelyn Goh, with several difficult questions on the common issues faced by clients in their search for a trusted wealth adviser. Evelyn addressed the elephant in the room when talking about the "4Cs" that possibly frustrate clients when all they desire is for their needs to be met. She also shared the painful truth that no single adviser can be competent in all areas of a comprehensive wealth plan, and why is that so?
Stay tuned for our next podcast episode, where our co-host Jin will be talking to Chris about his article in The Business Times. Following that, our next episode will be part three of this new series, so please look forward to that!

It has been a month since the CPF changes were announced, and there are still ongoing discussions in the media, online, and in various finance chat groups. With all the noise surrounding this 'hot topic,' our CEO, Chris, shared a simple guide in a Business Times article, which all Singaporeans can refer to when considering their next steps in light of these changes.
In this week’s Money Wisdom episode, our co-host Jin interviews Chris, as he digs deeper into this article to discuss the pros and cons of a private annuity plan and CPF LIFE, with your life goals and savings plan in mind. Chris shares how crucial it is to have a robust wealth plan, as government policies and your personal needs may change over time.
You can read Chris' article in The Business Times on this topic here.

The CPF changes announced during #Budget2024 have been receiving a range of opinions on the ground as Singaporeans who had "Special Account shielding" on their minds, question their next steps when it comes to retirement planning. Given the unpopular opinions, is this the right move to make for the primary purpose of the CPF? What do these changes mean to you as a young accumulator or a near-retiree?
In this week’s Money Wisdom episode, our CEO, Chris, encourages us to dig deeper and to ask ourselves what the original intent was for the monies left behind in our CPF balances after turning 55, should these changes not have been announced in the first place. That would give us a good idea of the next steps to take.
Also, stay tuned for our next podcast episode, where we will be going through a client case study!
