© Ruth Tan, All rights reserved. | |  | | Catherine Lim. Key Accounts Manager I have known Ruth for years, from a colleague to a dear friend. During her 5-year tenure in the MNC we worked together, she had changed several bosses and almost every time that happened, she would be given a different portfolio to handle. Each time she saw it as an opportunity to grow instead of dwelling in self-pity how challenging the role was or how established she had been in the current role.
When I knew she became a Financial Consultant and asked if she could review my plans, she agreed immediately. She is someone I trust and she has my best interest at heart. Since then, she has been constantly updating me on plans or investments that might interest me. Ruth is quick to respond and will always give sound advice on financial related issues.
Call Ruth now. You won't regret. | |  | | Nurhana Binte Ismail. Public Service Officer If there is one thing I know about Ruth, is that she is someone I can trust and depend on. From letting her “fly” me in acroyoga poses, to handling my financial plans - I know that I’m always in good hands! She has been a great friend, “cheerleader” and inspiration in our yoga journey together over the years, and I’m proud to watch her grow and thrive, not only as a yoga teacher, but also as a rising Financial Consultant! | |  | | Erik Lane I am very lucky to have come across a consultant like Ruth. She has been very professional, reliable and has proven to be very trustworthy in our dealings. She also happens to possess a fantastic sense of humor (which of course, I appreciate tremendously).
But in all seriousness, Ruth is very dependable and always has my back, despite the hour of the day. She has proven this on more than just one occasion. I would recommend Ruth highly as I do not know of a more professional consultant amongst those that work with my peers. | |  | | Chong Yuen Li. Project Manager I always choose my financial consultant based on who is more trustworthy and chose them from among my close friends. But Ruth is different I do not know her prior meetup but found her online through FB. First meetup my impression of her was very good. She makes me feel comfortable to share with her why I want to buy medical insurance. Although she looks young (most of my agents are older than me) but she gave me impression she is a capable young mother whom I can trust. She is very efficient and knowledgeable and after just one appointment, I know I can trust her with my insurance plan. When I was admitted to hospital last Dec. She was quick to help me submit claims for my hospitalisation bills. I will not hesitate to recommend her to my family and close friends. | |  | | Jess Liu. Executive Director, Private Bank Team Leader My trusted financial advisor Ruth Tan has been an invaluable asset to my financial stability and peace of mind. Her expert guidance in both insurance and financial planning, coupled with her exceptional follow-up service, has not only protected my assets but also helped me achieve my long-term financial goals. I can't recommend Ruth highly enough for her unwavering dedication and responsive support. | |  | | Joann Ong. Manager I like that Ruth is genuine, honest and patient. She doesn’t hard sell, but instead she suggests the best possible plans that cater to my needs. She is very precise in her presentation and is always able to breakdown complex topics into simplified conversation. I would recommend her to my family and friends. | | | | |
