Shownotes

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 more than S$1.7 billion of our clients’ hard-earned assets.

In this week’s Money Wisdom episode, we continue our 'The Brain Behind' series, where our new co-host and Associate Adviser, Sudhan, speaks with our CEO, Christopher, about his latest Business Times article, 'Thriving in a Messy World: Why the Philosophy of Sufficiency Matters More Than Ever.'

In this conversation, Christopher explains why the Philosophy of Sufficiency is even more relevant in today’s world of constant comparison and noise. They discuss conventional definitions of success, from the old “5Cs” mindset to modern ideas of wealth accumulation and defining success on one’s own terms.

In an uncertain world, this conversation challenges how we think about sufficiency, contentment, ambition, and what truly matters in wealth planning, including the quiet balance between chasing maximum returns and sleeping peacefully at night.

To gain more perspective on today’s conversation, you may begin by reading Christopher’s Business Times article here: https://providend.com/thriving-in-a-messy-world-philosophy-of-sufficiency/
