Tenacity and focus are the traits that immediately come to mind when I hear the name Malvin. I have known Malvin since our days working on research projects together at NTU. He would tirelessly strive to convey innovative ideas using any means necessary, whether through physical prototyping or visual presentations. I have never seen him display a giving up attitude; he would persist until his fellow students could understand the concepts.
⠀
I am delighted to see that Malvin has carried these unique qualities into his dream career in the financial industry. Despite having only basic knowledge of SGX and stocks/bonds, I struggled to connect the dots and create a clear and concise mental map. However, thanks to Malvin’s kind nature and patience, he took the time to explain the intricate “map” of SGX to me. Now, with his clear presentations, I feel confident and well-informed when discussing financial investments with friends and family. I am also grateful that Malvin has maintained our friendship long after school. He is not only a good friend but also a knowledgeable person in the financial industry from whom I can learn a great deal.
⠀
Thank you, Malvin.

Malvin has been my Financial Advisor for close to 3 years now and he never fails to check in with me and provide timely updates on the latest market trends. Malvin is knowledgeable in his field of expertise and I’m happy to say that I’ve always gained valuable insights from all our meet ups.
⠀
Apart from personal coverage, Malvin also takes the conscientious effort to care about my well-being as well as my loved ones’. Really do appreciate his attentiveness and quick response each time. I would highly recommend Malvin to anyone who wishes to expand your portfolio.

Malvin comes across as the nicest gentleman, when we finally met in person during Module 2 of the Advanced Certificate in Learning and Performance (ACLP). We were on virtual class prior to that. I had the pleasure to pair up with him to review and document each other’s learning progress for the course. In one of the assessment requirements, Malvin had to provide an action plan on how he will use the resources around him to grow in the profession of Training & Adult Educator. As his assessor, what struck me was the way his action plan was presented. Rather than a conventional fishbone timeline, he used a hand drawn brush-stroked arrow to run across the fill in box. To me, that symbolises his commitment to actions, aka his ‘just-do-it’ attitude, regardless of what lies ahead of him.
⠀
He takes great initiative in class, always rising to the occasion during group challenges/ activities. I admired his perseverance in ACLP, amidst the heavy demands of his professional work and a young family. I am confident that he would be able to synergise the new knowledge and skills into his learning growth as a financial services consultant. Malvin is definitely that great guy you would want to work with. Good job, friend!

Malvin Tan has been my trusted Financial Advisor for the past 3+ years, and I will not hesitate to recommend his professional service to any of my family members and friends. Over these few years Malvin has earned my trust with his sincerity & genuine concern. He is ever so responsive to my queries, patient in his explanations, initiative in his approach! He is a good listener and never jumps in just to get his point across.
⠀
Never has he made me feel pressured to invest in any financial plans which I am not comfortable with – in my personal opinion, these soft skills are key to any successful FA and instrumental to getting genuine referrals from clients. Also, he keeps me posted with updates on financial trends and analysis and dishes out sound financial advice generously. He takes effort in touching base just to say hello with no strings attached, and perhaps that is the reason I will give him my 100% support.
⠀
I believe he is a great asset to IPA Advisory, and I am confident that Malvin with his right attitude and professionalism will scale greater heights in the financial industry.

Malvin has been very patient with a novice and clarifying all my doubts. As a layman, I feel that he has more than adequately conveyed the various financial knowledge I needed, and does things quickly, efficiently and meticulously. He goes above and beyond what is expected of him and has been very accommodating. I would not hesitate to recommend him as an advisor to others.
⠀
At the time of writing this post, I have engaged Malvin’s services for 2 years now, with a net portfolio gain of over 100% in this time frame (one particular pick even went up 800%!). He has admirable work ethics, regularly checking in with clients as well as being very responsive to queries. He keeps his clients updated on market movements and investment opportunities as they occur, of which is backed by significant amounts of research.
⠀
By far my favourite aspect of engaging Malvin’s services is the fact that he takes the time to share his thought processes behind the decisions he makes, and is very upfront and honest any advice he provides. He also goes to lengths to make sure that I fully understand the topic at hand, rather than simply dispensing info.
⠀
Malvin is an outstanding advisor, and I have no qualms in recommending his services.

Malvin is definitely one of the most genuine and hardworking people that I’ve met in his field. I had the pleasure of having Malvin as my Financial Advisor since 2019. He was always willing to go the extra mile to check in regularly and made sure that I understood every detail in my portfolio. I greatly appreciate that he would tailor tips and recommendations when I was at different phases of my life, and hence really trust him to handle my portfolio. I would highly recommend Malvin’s services to those who are looking for a trustworthy and friendly advisor!
