A Monthly Curated Newsletter

As humans, we often like to think we're right, even when we can be wrong at times. Many of us have the unconscious tendency to seek information that support our existing beliefs & disregard or undermine those that do not match ours. But doing so without awareness or questioning can have adverse effects in the way we think, make decisions & live our lives. Today, I'd like to share with you some potential consequences of confirmation bias & what we can do about them.

Kelwin Kwan, e-Learning Specialist @ BLANCO SG & Daisy Khng, Senior Teacher @ Rainbow Centre

As a young family with a newborn, my wife and I were concerned with our financial and insurance planning as a family. With little knowledge of the matter, we are fortunate to have Regina to analysize, propose and implement a holistic financial and insurance plan for the family, giving us a peace of mind. Regina is sincere, warm and patient when it comes to understanding our family's needs and concerns, and has our family's well-being at heart. Regina is also well-informed, attentive and passionate with her work, taking the extra effort from compiling our existing plans, identifying our financial and insurance gaps, and meeting our busy schedules. It is difficult to find a financial consultant that we can trust, therefore my wife and I are glad to find a professional advisor and trustworthy friend in Regina. For families starting on their financial and insurance journey, I would highly recommend Regina for your planning needs.

Gabriel Wong, MINDEF and Elaine Fong, Accountant with DBS

What we look for in a financial advisor is someone who is well informed and follow things through properly, so that we can understand our planning well. Regina has been very sincere and forthcoming, she understands the needs and well being of a young family since she has one of her own. She is very open to listening to our concerns and plans for us in a holistic way. To us, she is more than just a financial advisor, but also a friend.

Budi, General Manager @ Infolog & Aurelia, Accountant @ Singapore Business Federation

Both my husband & I have known Regina for 9 years since we moved to Singapore. Regina is a friend, financial planner and now neighbour whom we feel comfortable to talk about our financial planning. She looks at the different needs at different stages of our life (before marriage, after marriage, during pregnancy, after children are born). Regina acts like a reminder which prompts us to sit and plan for the what ifs in life. She is passionate about what she is doing and sincere in recommending policies which work best for us & most importantly, help to make claims a breeze. We used to avoid financial consultants until we met Regina. Now, we even recommend her to our friends who have insurance needs.

Ng Rei Na, Social Sector Professional

Regina Ong is by far the only financial consultant whom I feel that I can trust entirely. Prior to meeting her, all the consultants that I met were transactional, pushy and not very sincere in their follow-ups. Regina is very different in these aspects as she looks at my needs as an individual. Knowing that I always forget the features of my plans and coverages, she would go the extra mile by doing up clean graphical reports that show the key details to my plans. She is one consultant whom I feel has got both the hard facts and soft skills right – you need to meet her to know that yourself. Besides the above, I got to know Regina at a more personal level. She is a hardworking and loving mother of two, and believes strongly in giving back to the community whenever she can. Looking at her words and actions in a non-professional setting, many people know her to be someone with a strong moral compass. Thank you Regina, for being a wonderful friend and advisor.

June Zhu, Vice President, Goldman Sachs

Regina has been my financial planner for coming 8 years. I trust her one hundred percent because she is competent, authentic, and always has my best interests at heart. At every stage of my life, her advice and financial plans have been helpful. She also invests in continuous learning to address changing/varying needs of her clients. Personally, I have also learned a lot from her and enjoyed spending time with her, as she is such a fun and loving person. I would highly recommend Regina to anyone who has insurance and financial planning needs.

Shuli Sudderuddin, Academic Director, Sec/JC @ The Learning Lab

Regina has been my financial advisor for almost ten years now, and she is always nothing short of reliable, caring and knowledgeable. She never fails to check in and keep me up to speed with my plan and entitlements and she also introduces me to interesting new information about the industry all the time! Most importantly, I feel safe with her. Trust is essential and Regina is so approachable that I trust I can turn to her in a time of need. As both a friend and a professional, she is invaluable!
