Three programmes,
one steady approach

Each programme is designed around a particular stage of financial attention — from a first careful look at your finances through to a comprehensive, mentor-led retirement review.

How We Work

Our teaching methodology


01

Small group or private setting

Groups are kept small enough that individual circumstances can be addressed. The retirement programme is entirely one-to-one.

02

Structured, sequential content

Each session builds on the previous one. Written summaries are provided after every session to support comprehension and retention.

03

Concrete written outcomes

Every programme produces a working document — a summary, a framework, or a comprehensive review — that participants keep and use after the programme ends.

Programme 01

Setting the Time

A First Look — 3 weeks · RM 510


A three-week introductory course for those who would like to begin paying considered attention to their personal finances. The course produces a single, careful one-page summary of present holdings, recurring outflows, and standing intentions — a personal point-in-time.

Conducted in small group format with one facilitator. Two evenings per week, with a written summary after each session. No prior background expected. The pace is entirely appropriate for someone who has not previously reviewed their finances in a structured way.

What this programme covers

  • Reviewing present holdings: savings, EPF, insurance, property
  • Mapping recurring outflows and identifying patterns
  • Clarifying standing intentions — what you think you want and why
  • Producing the one-page personal financial summary

How the sessions run

  1. 1. Session 1–2: Holdings review — what you own, what you owe, what you contribute
  2. 2. Session 3–4: Outflows review — recurring costs, insurance premiums, loan obligations
  3. 3. Session 5–6: Intentions review — short and long-term financial goals, draft summary

Considered Investing After Forty

Investment Foundations — 8 weeks · RM 1,940


An eight-week investment foundations course oriented toward those investing carefully for the first time at this stage of life. The programme approaches investments not as opportunities to maximise return, but as decisions that require clear understanding of what you are doing and why.

Includes asset class fundamentals, the function of EPF as a long-horizon anchor, ringgit and foreign-currency holdings, locally available unit trusts and ETFs, and reading fund factsheets honestly. Short reading and weekly reflection; class size capped at fifteen.

Topics across eight weeks

  • Asset class fundamentals — equities, bonds, cash, property
  • EPF as a long-horizon anchor — contribution strategy and account structures
  • Ringgit and foreign-currency holdings — risk and proportion
  • Locally available unit trusts and ETFs — selection and reading factsheets
  • Building a simple, durable personal investment approach

Programme 03

Long-Horizon Retirement Engagement

Private Mentor-Led — 6 months · RM 2,820


A six-month mentor-led programme that takes a long view of retirement — EPF strategy, supplementary savings, insurance review, healthcare cost provisioning, the role of any continuing part-time work, and the considered sequence of withdrawals over a typical two- to three-decade horizon.

Monthly private sessions, a midway review, and a written closing summary. Single track at a measured pace. This is not a general retirement planning course — it is a sustained private engagement around your actual situation.

Areas covered across six months

  • EPF strategy — Account 1, Account 2, Account 3 and optimal use
  • Supplementary savings — PRS, fixed deposits, private assets
  • Insurance review — what to retain, what to reconsider at this stage
  • Healthcare cost provisioning over a long retirement horizon
  • Withdrawal sequencing — which pots to draw from, and when
  • Comprehensive written retirement review as final deliverable
