When I started Averroes Wealth, it was not for every associate to dive into philosophy.

It is to recognise that every individual grows up with a life philosophy, which he builds/acquires from his upbringing, education and life experiences.

When you form a team, you ought to recognise the different individual life philosophies and how they can synergise for the betterment of the team.

I find it interesting that ChatGPT recognises these 4 philosophies/philosophers as relevant for the modern financial advice; Averroes himself was Aristotelian.

Philosophy isn’t “cheem”. One simply needs to identify notable ideas of each philosopher and the relevance today. That’s how we bring ancient wisdom to life.

The wisdom isn’t ancient; wisdom knows not time.

While the debate on ILP (investment-linked policy) occasionally pops up, circulating on its perceived high cost and the argument to separate insurance from investment, a similar product yet less talked about is IUL (indexed universal policy).

Perhaps because it tends to be utilised by affluent and high net worth clients who understand necessary costs for structure that benefits how they manage their wealth and plan their legacy.

How does an index fund compare to unit trust? How does IUL fit into your financial plan?

Here’s an infographic to help you better understand.

Amongst my Q3 tasks, other than reviewing fund selection & recommendation, is to reflect the team I am rebuilding.

The hardest part is to acknowledge that we are imperfect to begin with, in order to address our own shortcomings.

“The culture you get is the behaviour you tolerate.” Harriet Johnson. And similar variations by others.

Gary Vee’s variation goes “Culture isn’t what you preach. It’s what you permit.”

And he provides a framework for it for team-building.

I thought I joined Toastmasters to be a better speaker. Over the years I realise it is about effective communication and leadership development.

Some would have heard my story of that fateful afternoon in early 2021 when Terence Nunis, DTM called me out of the blue.

“Farhan, I remember you were sharing with me that you are looking for a breakthrough. Come, join Toastmasters.”

Indeed I was looking for a breakthrough. To be fair, I did not specify the kind of breakthrough. I was naive; I said yes. Not knowing what I was getting myself into.

“You should take Visionary Communication as your first pathway. Because you’re building a team (of financial advisers), you need to be able to articulate your vision.”

Over 5 years, I grew into various roles:
• Club Officer: VP Public Relations, VP Membership, Club President
• District Officer: Area Director, Division Director

All at the push and mentoring of Terence and several other senior Toastmasters.

It is indeed a leadership development program on top of effective communication skills, especially when you have the right mentors and seniors to guide and advise you.

And it is time I pay it forward, in developing younger leaders and effective communicators.

An effective communicator may not be a leader but a leader is an effective communicator.

And at Awesome Toastmasters Club, we bring out that awesomeness in you.

The philosophy of Averroes, Thomas Aquinas and their relevance today in addressing modern issues such as AI.

I like to play with AI in engaging ideas and concepts, and simplifying them into infographics and mind maps. It helps to better grasp the subject.

Today I extended my “play” to philosophy and its relevance today.

I identify closely with Averroes, naming my team Averroes Wealth. The idea is to be knowledge and values driven, and embracing diversity.

This infographic brings it to another level: to develop critical thinking.

It’s relevant to our role as financial advisers. Amidst all the noise and hype in the age of overwhelming information (especially with AI), we need to develop critical thinking to cut thru the noise and be able to provide sound advice to our clients.

More importantly, sound advice differs between individual clients in addressing their needs and objectives in managing and growing their wealth. Rather than a “template recommendation” which some “advisers” adopt to facilitate sales and hit KPIs. Or fin-fluencers, for that matter.

Idealistic? Perhaps. But that is what sound advice should look like: individualised.
