(Myself with my 1st mentor, Brother Shahul Hameed a veteran in the industry)
I still remember the day I left my old agency.
An agency in which I spent 14 years of my career.
A second home which gave me my breakthrough in Islamic finance.
A fantastic work environment where I flourished and thrived.
Yet, I HAD to leave.
I did not want to. But I HAD to. With a heavy heart. For the greater good.
The day I handed in my badge, I did so with tears in my eyes.
I pondered for months. Should I stay, or should I go?
It wasn’t an easy choice. But ultimately… it was the right one.
So Why Was Leaving A Tough But Necessary Decision?
(Myself sharing on investment planning with my fellow colleagues in the industry)
Over the last few years, the Islamic Finance industry in Singapore has evolved dramatically.
When I first started out, there was just one shariah-compliant financial solution in Singapore.
Now, the market is inundated with such plans and policies.
The number of Islamic Financial Planners has increased multiple fold as well.
So what does this mean for you – Our Muslim Brother and Sister looking to protect your finances and create wealth the shariah-compliant way?
It means more options. More choices. More opportunities.
Due to this paradigm shift, I felt that restrictions in my previous agency did not allow me to serve my fellow Muslims to the best of my abilities.
If you’re wondering what exactly these restrictions are, let me explain more below.
Tied Agency Vs Independent Financial Agency – What’s The Difference?
My previous agency is a tied agency.
This means that as an Islamic Financial Planner under their purview, I was only allowed to offer plans/products from that ONE agency.
This was fine back in the day, when the Islamic Finance market in Singapore was still in its infancy stages.
However, as the industry grew, and more shariah-compliant products were made available, I felt that this was a major roadblock in my quest to serve my fellow Muslims in their financial matters.
Hence, I left and joined an Independent Financial Agency.
As a newly-minted Independent Islamic Financial Planner, all the wondrous possibilities of modern Islamic Finance were unlocked.
- I could offer my clients the very best Islamic Finance plans, policies and products.
- I could help them to increase their coverage, while still saving significant amounts (3-figures/mth) on premiums.
- I could “mix-and-match” products from various world-class providers to provide high potential returns on their investment.
It felt like the shackles were removed.
It was liberating. Exhilarating. Super exciting!
Now can you see why I made the hard choice to quit my old agency, to become an Independent Islamic Financial Planner for the greater good?*
*(Is your current financial planner from a tied or independent agency? If you’re not sure, it’s good to find out so you can have 100% clarity over the options available to you.)
