For TrFP® Awardee Ng Yu Qi, the award is not about status - it is about responsibility.

Clients often come forward during real moments: planning for family, health, or the future. Yu Qi’s focus is to show up with clarity, honesty and structure, so clients do not just receive recommendations, but understand the decisions they are making.

He also believes good advice should not be limited to a small group. With discipline and systems, practitioners can serve more clients well while maintaining consistency.

His message is a reminder that assurance comes from how we show up and follow through.

Ready to make clarity and follow-through part of your professional recognition?

TrFP® Awardee Jace Chew describes trusted practice as a standard of advisory built over a decade of work.

For Jace, assurance is found in the scalability of quality care - supported by technical knowledge, thoughtful planning architecture, and the discernment to apply advice appropriately.

She also makes an important point: no award alone can create assurance. Only consistent conduct, proven over time, can do that.

What the award gives clients is a language to hold practitioners to higher standards - a promise that must be kept every day.

If you see recognition as a standard to be lived up to daily, learn more about the TrFP® 2026 application criteria and apply > ifpas.org.sg/events/trfp-awards-2026

🎖️TrFP® Awardee Mark Chew reminds us why trust speaks for itself.

For Mark, being recognised as a TrFP® Award winner shifted the focus from proving results to consistently earning and protecting trust. Every recommendation must pass a simple test: can it be made clearer for the client to understand?

His approach prioritises clarity over complexity, suitability over sales, and consistency over hype. He also draws a strong distinction between doing things right and doing the right thing.

His reflection captures the professional courage behind trusted advice.

The Straits Times Forum has published IFPAS’ letter, “Balanced discussion needed on retirement advice”.

Public discussions on CPF LIFE, ILPs, retirement planning and financial advice are important, especially when they concern consumer understanding, suitability and trust.

IFPAS supports clear, responsible and suitable financial advice. Where advice is unsuitable, unclear or misleading, such concerns should be taken seriously and addressed through the proper channels.

At the same time, public discussions should remain fair, balanced and constructive. Singapore’s financial advisory profession comprises practitioners across different advisory models and distribution channels, many of whom serve clients with professionalism, care and commitment.

Protecting consumers and upholding the integrity of the profession must go hand in hand.

IFPAS will continue to support professional development, financial literacy and constructive engagement with stakeholders to strengthen public trust and raise standards in financial advice.

TrFP® Awardee Sim Francis frames trust as a consultant’s most valuable currency.

For him, the award reinforces the need to be a dependable fortress for clients during high-stakes decisions. Serving more clients well is not about chasing numbers, but about scaling meaningful impact - revisiting clients, keeping them informed, and ensuring they remain protected as life changes.

Francis also connects professional upgrading to client security. In a changing market, staying still can mean falling behind. His reflection points to a legacy-driven mindset: taking ownership of clients’ long-term outcomes, not just the next transaction.

Could your practice show trust, competence and long-term ownership?

Meet TrFP® Awardee Ang Hui Peng, Candy.

Candy describes trust as the most valuable ingredient in the adviser-client relationship - something intangible, but deeply felt. For her, TrFP® recognition reflects consistency, integrity, high regulatory standards, and the confidence clients can have when their portfolios are guided with care.

She also speaks about moving from product specialist to wealth architect, where advice goes beyond numbers to family dynamics, legacy, and long-term intent.

Her perspective captures what the award stands for: balanced excellence across performance, compliance, learning and client satisfaction.
