ELSON CHEW

I met Elson at a University Camp. He was one of the primary reasons I joined AAG. What I felt from him at first sight, was that he was upbeat, confident, and trustworthy. So with the leap of faith, I let Elson take me under his wing as I believe he can help me realise my fullest potential. 

Being in the right work environment is crucial, but being with the right mentor is key to success. And I am happy to say I found myself the right mentor.

Throughout my time in AAG, Elson has shown nothing but care and warmth, not only towards me but with all his associates. He tirelessly dedicates hours upon hours of his time to help us and pushes us to do our best, and he always inspires me to reach greater heights. He is beyond just a partner and mentor; he is also a brother and a friend.

One thing he taught me is that it is okay to be tired, and take a break, but never give up. And I know one of the many people who will never give up on me, is Elson. I count myself fortunate to be work and learn alongside one of the most passionate and driven advisors out there, and I look forward to achieving bigger milestones with Elson.

As a fresh graduate in 2019 with little to no knowledge on how to navigate the “adulting” life, insurance was one of the many aspects that was completely foreign to me. “Who should I approach?” was a constant question that I had no answer to.

However, this was when I began to witness how Elson was enjoying and devoting hours to his career – via Instagram. His fervour towards his work led to me reaching out and asking him where do I begin? Instead of regurgitating whatever he has studied for his financial examinations, he patiently explained it in layman terms and made sure I knew what I was getting myself into.

He was meticulous and ensured that he had all the relevant details he needed, such as prior plans my parents may have gotten for me, before crafting a comprehensive plan and deciding my next steps. Elson was never pushy and made sure I had the capabilities to afford the plans that were essential to safeguard my livelihood – this, I was very firm with him. I remember asking him so many repeated questions I thank God he hasn’t given up on this blur adult! He will never answer anything he is unclear of and will verify them before coming back to me.

Elson was swift to respond whenever I had questions and even more so when I needed to make a claim. I’ve never met anyone more “kanchiong” about making sure my claims are through, and even makes routine calls to ensure that I’ve received it – if that’s not the epitome of dedication? I’m not fluffing or exaggerating any of these just because Elson happened to be my friend before being my financial advisor but through his sharing and stories, I know he builds sincere relationships with his clients.

As a sceptic, I’ve questioned Elson on the longevity of his current career and was doubtful. However, over the 2 years, I’m clear that he is someone whom I will trust my financial planning with as he continues to better himself and expand his knowledge in this field. I highly recommend Elson to you, if you are like the 2019 me who was lost and blur and would like someone approachable and bubbly to converse with, and/or your family if you’re thinking to relook into your existing plans!

Before I entered university, I have not once thought about having any investment/saving plans to prepare myself for my future. However, after I entered university, I realized many people around me have bought themselves investment/saving plans and it made me decide to start wanting to learn more and get myself a plan too. That was when i approached my friend, Elson, who is a financial advisor.

Elson is very knowledgeable with the different plans he can offer and very patient with my queries, answering them all with confidence. He is not pushy at all, but instead he made sure to offer me a plan which will best suit my needs.

He also put in the effort to find out what existing insurance plans I already had and compiled them into one excel sheet so it is easier for me to understand. When I wasn’t sure what some of the plans were for, he also explained to me what they do, and whether it is ideal for me to continue or surrender them.

Elson is a really hardworking individual and will put in the effort to make sure your queries are answered. He is not pushy and is someone who ensures you will get a plan that most suits your needs, so if you’re interested, or do not know where to start your financial planning journey, do not hesitate to drop him a message!

Back in 2019, getting an insurance has never crossed my mind. However, my fate with insurance had intertwined when I tore a ligament on my thumb. Constant visits to the hospital really burst my student’s pocket. Hence, I decided to find my secondary school buddy, Elson, for some financial advices while knowing he has just started out.

Despite being fresh in the industry, the passion that Elson exudes is really inspiring. I could see the passion he has in his job. The potential hospitalisation and accident plans were thoroughly explained and easy to grasp. Eventually, I signed my first two plans.

In the same year, I had my minor surgery where hospitalisation fees and recurring appointments are a major concern. Not only Elson gave me immediate attention, he managed to book a surgery appointment on the same day. I am so thankful in his support and attention he gives to his clients.

All in all, Elson is a very passionate financial advisor whom is always driven to render support and detailed explanations to all his clients. Without a doubt, he’s humble, constantly learns, and it’s great!
