Raymond is the adviser people refer their friends and family to. Known across Team Eagle as "The Referral Guru" because, after 20 years and 800+ clients across 400+ families, his practice has grown almost entirely by word-of-mouth. A 7-time IPPFA Chairman's Round Table winner (consecutive since 2019) and one of the Team Managers, he is patient, principled, and quietly relentless. Whether it's a midnight claims emergency or a decade-long retirement plan, Raymond shows up: for his clients, for his family, and for the underprivileged communities he serves through ongoing mission and charity work.
Raymond's story doesn't begin in a boardroom. It begins in a lower-income family that taught him early what it means to "survive many rainy days", a belief, in his own words, "that you will never be down all the time." That hard-won resilience is the foundation of how he serves clients today: with patience that does not flinch when life gets complicated, and a quiet conviction that good planning, started early, changes the next generation's options entirely.
Over 20 years, Raymond has built a practice of 800+ clients across 400+ families, almost entirely through referrals. Friends introduce friends. Spouses introduce spouses. Adult children introduce their parents. That is why his colleagues call him "The Referral Guru". It is not a marketing line; it is mathematics. People only refer the adviser they would trust with their own family.
What does that trust feel like in practice? It looks like an adviser who is genuinely 24/7, there for the 11pm hospital admission, the surprise retrenchment, the dispute over a claim. It looks like proactive follow-up, sometimes triggered by a single life-event post on social media. It looks like an unwavering refusal to push products: every recommendation is explained, every alternative is laid out, and every decision is left to the client. Raymond's holistic approach spans protection planning, wealth creation, retirement, education funding, and legacy planning, but the through-line in all of it is empowerment: helping you understand your money so you can own your decisions.
Raymond also serves the next generation of advisers. As one of the Team Managers at Team Eagle, he mentors newer consultants on how to create genuine value, listen well, and earn the kind of relationships that last decades. Outside the office, he lives out his personal motto, "Blessed to be a Blessing," through community support for underprivileged families in Singapore and overseas mission work. The same heart that shows up at a client's hospital bedside shows up on the mission field.
If you want an adviser who treats your financial plan like his own family's plan, careful, faithful, available, and built to outlast a lifetime of seasons, Raymond is the rare one who genuinely does.
When I met Raymond in 2013, I had just lost $30,000 on a bank-recommended investment, and as a divorced mum of a 13-year-old, I was terrified about retirement and my daughter's education. Raymond restructured my insurance and investments using IPPFA's Eagle Eye portfolio model. Within 18 months I had broken even. Today, I am on track for passive income at 55, possibly retiring as early as 50, and my daughter's education is fully funded. 100% satisfied.
Raymond took a very holistic view of my needs, balancing coverage, savings and investments to ensure everything met my specific goals and commitments. He never once pushed me into something I was uncomfortable with. Raymond is more than an adviser; the word that best describes him is a true friend.
Raymond takes time to find out what my needs are and explains to me the reasons behind his recommendations. I am comfortable with his recommendations and do not feel pressured to make decisions on the spot. He patiently answers my questions, even when they are repeated!

Raymond never tried to sell me anything, but his way of talking about financial planning made me realise I had real gaps I hadn't addressed. No pressure, no sales talk. He's genuine and he really listens. When I had to make a claim, he handled everything from start to end. I didn't have to chase or worry about a thing. If I had to describe him in one phrase: he's someone who protects you even more than you protect your loved ones.
Whether you're planning for retirement, your children, or reviewing your current finances, Raymond provides trusted, independent guidance to help you navigate life's financial decisions with greater clarity and peace of mind.
