About

Early 2023, Daren introduced the idea of hosting monthly AMA (Ask Me Anything) webinars to share financial knowledge with the public. After 12 months of these sessions, we recognized the need for a structured online training program. This initiative aims to provide participants with convenient access to resources for revision and to strengthen their financial understanding.
Interestingly, all of us come from mechanical engineering backgrounds and transitioned into the financial industry at different stages of our lives. We share a common passion for empowering individuals to achieve financial freedom by fostering a deeper understanding of investments, protection strategies, retirement planning, and other essential financial skills.
Our greatest fulfillment lies in seeing everyone succeed—becoming financially independent and enjoying a happy, well-deserved retirement.

I'm Darren Chew

I am a Senior Financial Services Director with one of Singapore’s leading and award-winning financial institutions, where I lead a team of Financial Services Consultants and Remisiers. I hold the Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) designation and am a Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC®).

I graduated from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) with a Second Upper Honors degree in Mechanical Engineering, and later pursued a Graduate Diploma in Financial Management to further deepen my expertise in finance. In 2005, I made a career transition from engineering to financial services, specializing in Comprehensive Financial Planning, Wealth Management, and Investment Planning. Over the years, I have received numerous accolades, including Top of the Table (TOT), Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT), Chairman’s Roundtable, and Phillip Elite awards.

I am deeply passionate about financial education and actively conduct seminars to promote financial literacy. I believe in empowering individuals through sound financial planning to help them build wealth and achieve financial freedom. I have had the privilege of sharing my market insights on 93.8 Live and Capital 95.8FM, as well as live interviews on Channel News Asia – Asia Business First.

My Mission: Making Financial Education Accessible

I strongly believe in empowering individuals through financial literacy. Many struggle with financial planning due to a lack of accessible and affordable education. My goal is to bridge that gap by providing practical, low-cost financial education that enables individuals to build wealth and achieve financial security.

I am also an IBF-accredited trainer under The Institute of Banking and Finance (IBF), where I conduct financial courses for professionals and the public

I'm Elijah

I am a Senior Financial Services Manager with one of Singapore’s leading and award-winning financial institutions. I graduated from NTU with an Honours degree in Mechanical Engineering, achieving a book prize and a gold medal for topping my specialization.

After working in engineering for a few years, I made a career switch to join the financial services industry, where I work with individuals and families with their wealth management needs. I plan, execute and oversee strategies that allow them to accomplish their financial goals and dreams, so that they may feel more secure and have more time for what matters most to them.

Besides working with my clients, I also reach out to the public via seminars and webinars, educating them on various aspects of financial management, wealth planning and personal finance. I regularly share my insights and views on various finance topics on MoneyFM 89.3, and have also been interviewed by ChannelNewsAsia, CNBC Asia and The Straits Times.

I believe that with outreach and proper financial education, everyone can improve their financial situation and feel confident in achieving their financial goals and aspriations.

I'm Choon Wea

I began my career as an engineer after graduating with First class Honors and, over the next 25+ years, progressed into senior executive roles within various multinational corporations, leading their business operations. My global experience across diverse industries has provided me with deep insights into how successful corporations operate.

Whether managing a multi-million-dollar business or a multi-billion-dollar cross-regional enterprise, sustainable success is driven by strong leadership, effective management tools, and clear performance tracking to ensure profitability and execution. A significant part of this ties back to financial measurement, a key aspect used in the financial industry to assess investment viability.

After stepping down from my corporate role, my former Finance Controller at Nike encouraged me to enter the financial industry, recognizing my natural instinct for investments.  Over the past few years, I have enjoyed sharing my insights through monthly AMA webminar about market sentiment.  Being bi-lingual, I also shared market view on Chinese radio talk FM 95.8, 96.3. 

I look forward to collaborating with you in learning together for better financial knowledge and success.
