Weekly on Mondays at 8am, Providend’s Money Wisdom will share how you can gain clarity in your own “ikigai decisions” and make wise financial choices to support them. That, to us, is the essence of money wisdom and what we want you to take away from listening to our podcast.
Also available in video format on YouTube weekly on Thursdays at 8pm.
An original podcast produced by Providend Ltd.

As trusted advisers to affluent clients for 25 years this year, our wealth management philosophy of making ikigai decisions before money decisions is grounded in real-world experience managing close to S$2 billion of our clients’ hard-earned assets.
In this week’s Money Wisdom episode, we continue our ‘The Brain Behind’ series, where our co-host and Associate Adviser, Sudhan, speaks with our CEO, Christopher (https://providend.com/christopher-tan/), about his latest Business Times article, ‘Why the Best Annuity in Singapore Still Isn't Enough on Its Own’.
In this conversation, Christopher unpacks the trade-offs between fully relying on CPF LIFE and building a more diversified retirement income plan using a combination of CPF LIFE, cash and private annuities. He also explores how private annuities can give retirees the flexibility and liquidity to retire earlier than 65 and protect their spouse's lifestyle in the event of their demise.
To gain more perspective on today’s conversation, you may begin by reading Christopher’s Business Times article here (https://providend.com/best-annuity-in-singapore-cpf-life-not-enough/).

What If You Had to Sell Your Business Tomorrow? (S5E32)
If you had to sell your business tomorrow, would you know what it is really worth?
For many business owners, their business is a significant part of their retirement plan. Yet its value and transferability can be affected by risks they may not have considered. Having clarity on where the business stands today can make all the difference when preparing for what comes next.
In this episode, Jerome (https://providend.com/jerome-song/), Business Exit Special at Providend, shares with Ray (https://providend.com/ray-zheng/), Senior Client Adviser, how he uses a three-step framework to guide business owners in identifying and mitigating common risks that could affect the value and transferability of their business. By addressing these areas early, business owners can prepare for any potential outcome and make decisions from a position of strength.
