Unicorn is the only personal financial advisory company that is wholly dedicated to genuinely trustworthy and sustained care of clients. It is now also the most successful independently owned financial planning company in Singapore.
Who we are...
Our firm was established in 2005. In 2011, it was taken over by a team of industry veterans, led by Patrick Tan, Unicorn’s chairman. This entrepreneurial team created Unicorn with a clear vision – we would not be just another sales-based financial planning business but would build a team of like-minded professionals who delivered sincere and long-lasting care for clients.
We would believe in straightforward dealings and behave at all times with the utmost integrity. The founders had an unshakeable faith that:
Every household and family would be more secure and prosperous with sound advice from a professional financial planner;
Doing right by clients, to the best of our abilities, would deliver safety and prosperity to all stakeholders – which includes clients, the committed consultants who joined us, and the company;
Unicorn must be long-lasting so that clients could be sure of the enduring presence of their adviser into the distant future, safely able to deliver on the long-term promises involved in authentic lifetime financial planning.
Unicorn has remained steadfast in its dedication to offering clients concerning care and conducting businesses with authenticity, trustworthiness, and the highest levels of integrity.
Today, the same leadership team continues to steer the company with the same purpose, direction and commitment. Every one of our clients deserves our undivided attention and individual care – because we consider every client a treasured member of the Unicorn family.
