    Health Span: The Missing Piece in Retirement Planning – The Brain Behind (S3E24)

    Being a trusted adviser to our affluent clients for over two decades, our wealth management philosophy—making life decisions before money decisions—is rooted in our experience of managing over S$1 billion worth of our clients’ hard-earned assets. In this week’s Money Wisdom episode, our co-host Isaac chats with Chris about the critical role of health span in retirement planning and how it is often overlooked. Saving for your 'health plan' in retirement is just as important as building your wealth plan, particularly if leaving behind a legacy aligns with your life goals.

    Achieving the Highest Probability of Success in Money and Life (S3E22)

    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.

The planning is much like a wedding, but afterwards, maintaining a healthy marriage requires regular conversations, as clients' situations will change through different seasons.
