About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of understanding financial certainty in retirement planning, contrasting high projected returns of ILPs with the stability of CPF LIFE.

As trusted advisers to affluent clients for 25 years this year, our wealth management philosophy of making ikigai decisions before money decisions is grounded in real-world experience managing more than S$1.7 billion of our clients’ hard-earned assets. In this week’s Money Wisdom episode, we continue our ‘The Brain Behind’ series, where our co-host and Associate Adviser, Sudhan, speaks with our CEO, Christopher, about his latest Business Times article, ‘The Retirement Advice That Worries Me Most Right Now’. In this conversation, Christopher encourages listeners to look beyond the high projected returns promised by instruments such as ILPs. Instead, he highlights the importance of knowing what is “enough”, so that you can build a retirement with greater certainty and peace of mind. To gain more perspective on today’s conversation, you may begin by reading Christopher’s Business Times article here . Music courtesy of ItsWatR. The host of this episode, Sudhan Purushothuman , is an Associate Adviser at Providend, the first fee-only wealth advisory firm in Southeast Asia and a leading wealth advisory firm in Asia.
