Case Studies
Experiences in More Detail
These brief case studies reflect the journeys of programme participants. Details have been adjusted to protect privacy.
Case Study 01 — Post-Retrenchment
The Challenge
A 51-year-old manager from Klang Valley was retrenched after a company restructuring. She had three months of savings, a sizable EPF balance, and no clear picture of what to do in what order.
The Process
Two sessions mapped out her full financial position — cash flow runway, severance entitlements under Malaysian law, EPF balance and the withdrawal implications, and her existing insurance policies' continuation options.
The Outcome
Left with a 12-month financial triage plan and clarity on her severance. She chose not to touch her EPF and extended her medical insurance via a rider she had not previously been aware of — buying herself time and stability during her job search.
Case Study 02 — Mutual Fund Course
The Challenge
A 47-year-old businessman had accumulated unit trust investments across five different funds recommended by his bank over ten years. He had no framework for evaluating whether they were performing appropriately or whether the fees were reasonable.
The Process
Four sessions worked through fund fact sheet reading, risk-adjusted return metrics, fee analysis (including total expense ratio compounding), and the construction of a personal selection framework based on his risk profile and time horizon.
The Outcome
Identified two underperforming funds with fees significantly above their category median. Used the evaluation workbook to shortlist alternatives and, for the first time, made his own switching decisions without relying on his bank relationship manager.
Case Study 03 — Dignified Ageing
The Challenge
A 62-year-old retired teacher and her husband had a reasonable financial position but had not addressed the "what if" scenarios — serious illness, cognitive decline, caregiver costs, estate distribution. The conversations had always felt too heavy to start.
The Process
Seven sessions addressed each dimension of dignified ageing finance, including long-term care insurance evaluation, Malaysian private nursing home costs, caregiver financial support frameworks, and the preparation of an advance directive.
The Outcome
Completed their Dignified Ageing Plan, updated their wills, and purchased a long-term care rider they had previously not considered. Attending quarterly consultations and describe feeling, for the first time, that their later years are financially accounted for.
