Beyond Money: Are You Prepared for Retirement? (S5E28)

As trusted advisers to affluent clients for 25 years this year, our wealth management philosophy of making ikigai decisions before money decisions is grounded in real-world experience managing more than S$1.7 billion of our clients’ hard-earned assets.

In this week’s Money Wisdom episode, we continue our ‘The Brain Behind’ series, where our co-host and Associate Adviser, Sudhan, speaks with our CEO, Christopher, about his latest Business Times article, ‘Are You Really Ready For Retirement? Three Questions That Will Tell You’

In this conversation, Christopher explores what it really means to be ready for retirement. Beyond having enough money, he shares why it is important to build a “life portfolio” alongside your financial portfolio, considering questions such as who you will spend time with, how you will maintain your independence, and who will support you when you need care.

To gain more perspective on today’s conversation, you may begin by reading Christopher’s Business Times article here.
