About me

Hi, I am Jasmine Siah. My first brush with the financial services industry was when I was working part-time after my GCE ‘A’ Levels. I was selling magazine subscriptions under EmitAsia (i.e. Wall Street Journal, Time, etc) and once, I sold a Wall Street Journal subscription to the CEO of a particular company. He actually handed me his business card and said that if I were to look for a job in future, he would give me a position under him.

When I entered university, I was actually studying Chemistry at NTU – a very different field. But after graduation, I realised Chemistry was not a subject I was truly passionate about, nor was it my strength. I always believe that, when I do something in life, there needs to be a deeper meaning and purpose behind it, which will propel me to keep striving to do better.

I soon found my passion in educating people on financial literacy and found meaning in growing clients’ wealth.

However, I felt that I wasn’t able to truly optimise wealth accumulation for my clients due to banks’ limitations and restrictions, so I soon decided to move to an independent financial advisory firm, where I could customise a variety of products and plans holistically for my clients.

Although I grew a lot at my previous firm, I have always believed that when I am too comfortable and I feel my growth stagnating, it’s time to make changes so I can continue growing, for both my clients and myself. Hence, after 8 years, I am now with IPP Financial Advisers (IPPFA), where I believe I can add more value and knowledge to both my existing and new clients.

A friend and former colleague who had worked with me in EmitAsia referred me to work at a local bank as a personal banker, and soon enough, I was encouraged to go to the frontline, which I have always excelled in – I was told I could relate and empathise with people very well.

This value of constantly striving for growth and improvement is one of the key reasons why my clients keep returning to me and referring their loved ones to me – they know that I will always give them valuable information, update them on market changes as well as educate them on how different trends may affect them at different points in time.

I have always believed in continuous learning and growing together with my clients, in both my personal investment journey as well as helping them to grow their wealth. My clients have also shared valuable experiences with me along the way, so we can grow and build sustainable wealth together.
