S3E05: The Story of Our Clients’ Wealth Journey – The Protagonist

Isaac Ong

Providend has always been proud to share that we are Southeast Asia’s first fee-only advisory firm. In recent years, we have been receiving many questions about who we serve and the work that we do for our clients.

In this nine-part sequential mini-series, we will delve into the wealth management journey of our clients. This is a collection of all the stories that clients and prospective clients shared with us ranging from why they are looking for guidance to challenges they faced before meeting us, and their experience working with us. We are sure you would find something that resonates with you in your own wealth journey and glean some interesting insights.

In this week’s Money Wisdom episode, our CEO Chris, and co-host Isaac, begin by telling the tale through the perspective of our clients – the protagonist of this story. As you continue through the series, you will learn about the values that they hold dear and the common thread that runs across what clients are looking for in a credible wealth adviser.
