SingHealth Personal Development Program - Finanical Planning talk kicked off on 29 September 2005. It was an eye opening talk given by the humourous Mr Christopher Tan, the CEO of Providend who is also a qualified financial planner licensee. Our doctors learnt to understand their risk appetite. He walked through with all of us the essence of estate management, risk management and insurance planning. He highlighted the difference between term and life insurance and explained the various types of investments tools such as equities, REITS and commodities etc.
The Question and Answer session was met with enthusiasm with questions on mortgage insurance, on correlation between property and commodities and on the estimated life span of the 'China Bubble'.
In conclusion, our doctors gave positive feedback.
"It's very useful. I would love to attend self-improvement courses like these."
" Is a good overview of financial planning. I felt that the duration of the talk is just right."
" It will be great if there is more coverage on certain aspect of the financial talk. The talk offers basic fianncial knowledge. Question and Answer session is very interesting. I felt that it is the highlight of the day."
