Associate Director · finexis Advisory

Freedom today, future secure.

You shouldn't have to sacrifice today to secure tomorrow. And you shouldn't gamble tomorrow for today's comfort.

I work primarily with doctors and senior professionals in Singapore.

Most find me through a personal introduction. However you got here, I'm glad you did.

Who I work best with

I work best with people who make important decisions every day, and want the same clarity in their own finances.

Who they are

  • Senior professionals and doctors

  • Often with young children

  • Short on time, not on capability

What they're dealing with

  • Earning well, but the plan hasn't kept pace

  • Policies bought at different times that never connected

  • Planning that keeps getting pushed to later

What they want

  • One picture of how it all fits together

  • Honest counsel, not agreement

  • Decisions that still hold up in ten years

  • To know what the alternatives were before committing

How I help

You've done well. Your finances have simply become more complicated.

Plan

Financial Clarity

Move away from financial hoping, to financial planning. Bring your career, family goals, retirement and legacy into one view, so you know whether you're on track, what could get in the way, and what to do next.

Grow

Investment Strategy

Everyone counts the return. Almost no one counts the anxiety. We build plans for your short, medium and long-term goals that hold up even when the market doesn't behave as predicted: grounded in evidence, not guesswork.

Protect

Protection Optimisation

More coverage. Less cost. More cash flow. Where existing policies are suboptimal, we compare what is available across providers, close important gaps and free up unnecessary costs, so more of your money can go towards your family, your goals and the life you want to build.

What that looks like

A good plan gives you options when life changes.

Planning is not about predicting every disruption. It is about making sure one unexpected event does not force the next five decisions.

That means knowing which money is for later, which needs to stay within reach, and what you could do if your income stopped earlier than expected.

A senior executive was retrenched in a reorganisation, not for anything to do with her performance. The portfolio we had been building for years was designed for exactly this: money that could be reached if her income ever stopped. She did not have to sell her home, move her children's school, or take the first job offered. She had time, and she chose her next role rather than accepting one.

An individual result. What is possible depends on your own circumstances.

How I work

Most people expect to be sold more. Often the answer is to own less.

Sometimes the right advice is that what you already have is working. Sometimes it is to simplify, restructure, or free up money that is currently doing very little.

Often that means keeping what is working and changing only what is not.

The first conversation

A first conversation is just that. A conversation.

30 minutes

Mostly I ask questions and understand what's on your mind.

You don't need to have everything organised

Bring whatever you already have. We can work from there.

No obligation

You get a sense of how I think, I work out whether I can add value, and we decide whether it makes sense to continue.

Message me on WhatsApp

Most people I meet were introduced by someone they trust. If that is how you found me, this is usually where we start.

You've worked hard to build a successful life.

Freedom now, or security later. Without a plan, it is easy to lean too far one way.

Some people defer everything. They save hard, spend carefully, and keep postponing the life the money was meant for.

Others live well now and trust that it works out, without ever putting a number to it.

Both are a bet. Neither is a plan.

What clarity looks like

If you can see your finances, you can see your life.

Your whole financial life on one screen, mapped out and kept current as things change. Not a spreadsheet of income and expenses, but a picture of what your decisions today make possible later.

Freedom is not a number, and it is not retiring as early as possible. It is the place where having enough money, having time to use it, and being clear about what you want all overlap. Miss any one of the three and the other two stop counting for much.

Where freedom sitsThree overlapping circles labelled clarity, time and money. Freedom is the area where all three overlap.ClarityTimeMoneyFreedom
TodayShortfall from age 41 to 90: $9.09M
Sample projection before planning: red shortfall bars begin in the mid sixties and continue to age 99
With a plan in placeShortfall from age 41 to 90: $1.19M
The same sample projection after planning: passive income covers most of the later years and the shortfall bars do not begin until the late eighties

Both charts are illustrative and use the same sample figures. They are not an actual client. The second shows one possible set of decisions, not a guaranteed or typical outcome, and is not a projection of returns. The cash savings axis differs between the two charts, so compare the bars rather than the height of the savings line.

What would yours look like?

The next home, or the move you've been putting off. Your children's education, wherever they end up going. The year work becomes optional. Knowing your family would be alright without you. The holidays you stop justifying to yourself.

Clarity is seeing how today's decisions connect to all of it, while there is still time to change them.

About Chun Wei

I began on the other side of the table.

While working in Big Four audit, I was referred to a finexis adviser. The clarity and confidence I felt as a client is what I've built my career around giving others. Today I advise more than 800 clients.

I also have two children. The day starts before it gets light and ends an hour after I have lain down next to them, waiting for them to fall asleep, so I can go and pack their bags for tomorrow. In between, two school apps send through things that need doing, a spelling list gets learned across four evenings, piano practice turns into a negotiation, and underneath all of it runs the real question of whether they are coping, and whether their shoes still fit.

The doing is not the hard part. The remembering is. Nobody hands that list over. Your family's money sits on the same list, and it is the part I can take.

What you can expect

Mutual fit, both ways

Not everyone I meet needs to become a client, and that's fine. If I don't think I'm the right fit for you, I'll tell you early and honestly.

Honesty over comfort

You should expect honest opinions, not just agreeable ones. Sometimes that means a perspective that's a little different from how you've been thinking.

Built for years, not a transaction

I work with clients for the long run. Plans get revisited as your career, family and goals change, not set once and forgotten.

In my own words

Why I do this, and what a difficult client conversation taught me.

How I came to this work, and a client who was angry with me, what she said, and what happened after I picked up the phone.

How I think about this.

Before we talk

A few things people usually ask.

Do I need to have everything sorted before we talk?+

No. Most people arrive with policies bought over the years, some investments, and no clear picture of how it all fits together. That's the normal starting point, not a prerequisite. Bringing what you have is enough.

I'm stretched between work and family. Is this worth the time?+

Being busy is the reason most people I meet haven't done this yet, rather than a reason to keep putting it off. The effort is front-loaded: a couple of conversations and some information gathering, then periodic reviews rather than ongoing work. And most of what I do is take the thinking off your plate, not add to it. Planning takes time. The people you love make it worth it.

Do I have to move everything over to you?+

No. You may want to keep other policies, other investments, or a relationship with a private banker. That's completely fine. My role is to be the central person who helps you compare, assess and decide what fits your overall plan.

How do you decide what to recommend?+

Nothing gets recommended without being compared first. I look at what is available across the providers I can access, set against what you already hold. A lot of what I see was never compared against anything at all, because whoever arranged it had one range to offer. Comparing is not about finding something perfect. It is about knowing what the alternatives were before you commit, and sometimes the honest answer is that what you have is already fine.

I already have an adviser. Is this different?+

Often the question isn't whether you've done anything, it's whether everything still fits together and still fits the life you've built. The first conversation is complimentary, and you're free to do nothing with what comes out of it.

How long does the process usually take?+

Typically two to six weeks, depending on how much there is to review and how quickly the relevant information is available.

How quickly will you get back to me?+

I aim to respond within 24 hours. If I don't have the answer yet, I'll acknowledge your message and tell you I'm working on it.

Still have a question? Ask it here and it'll reach me directly.

Where to start

Start with a conversation, not a recommendation.

We'll work out together whether I'm the right fit for you, and you're free to walk away if I'm not.

Or leave a question if you'd rather not message directly yet.
