The Jarrad Brown Difference
The Smartest Way to Receive Financial Advice
As a Fee-Based Financial Adviser in Singapore, my #1 priority is you, my client. I firmly believe in complete transparency with my clients to build trust and a long-term relationship. It’s important to me to understand your holistic financial needs and goals to help guide you through the financial world with confidence.
When you choose to work with me, you are choosing to work with an Adviser who is fee-based, relationship-focused, transparent and somebody who holds your interests first at all times. My clients take comfort in referring me to their friends and family as they experience the care and guidance I provide for their own finances.
Objective
I work as an objectives-based financial planner in Singapore, so that you can have peace of mind that I will only recommend strategies that are in your best interest and are aligned to your financial strategies.
Fee-Based
As an Fee-Based Financial Adviser, there are no hidden commissions that I don’t disclose to my clients. You can take comfort in knowing that your interests are always front of mind.
Alignment of Interests
With all of my clients, I ensure that our interests are aligned. Simply put, my remuneration is tied to your success in achieving the financial goals we help you to plan for.
Limited Clients
I work with a limited number of clients so that I can ensure I have the time and capacity to nurture these relationships with the care they deserve. This means that I look for long-term relationships where I can add significant value.
Comprehensive Financial Advice Across a Range of Areas
I provide holistic, comprehensive financial advice to my clients to ensure that nothing is overlooked, and I can ensure that they are making the most of their time offshore. Below are the key services that I provide:
Critical Illness Insurance
Would your family be cared for if you were diagnosed with a critical illness? What cover do you already have in place? Ensure that your loved ones are protected and could continue to meet everyday expenses should the unforeseen occur.
Life Insurance
Life Insurance provides financial security and peace of mind for you and your loved ones should the unforeseen occur. Could your family continue to meet their expenses if you were no longer around? What plans do you have in place?
Health Insurance
International Health Insurance is medical insurance designed to cover your health and medical expenses while you’re living abroad. As an expat, it is important to be certain you’re protected before an unforeseen health event occurs.
Income Protection
Income Protection insurance is designed to help you get ‘back on your feet’ by covering up to 75% of your regular income, on a monthly basis, should you be unable to work due to an injury or illness, so that you can remain focused on your recovery.
Wills & Guardianship
By putting a Will in place, this ensures that your wishes will be carried out after you pass. Many of us realise that we are not invincible when it’s too late…how are you ensuring your loved ones will be cared for?
Estate Planning
Estate Planning is a process that extends beyond just preparing a Will. It also includes Enduring Power of Attorney, Trust planning and ensuring your children are cared for with Temporary and Permanent Guardianship.
Retirement Planning
It is important to start planning for your retirement early. The earlier we start saving for our retirement, the less we need to put away on a regular basis to achieve our goals of financial independence. How are you planning for your retirement..?
Savings Strategies
The most valuable asset you will ever have is your ability to earn an income. Are you making the most financially of your time abroad? Are you taking advantage of the lower tax rates? Are you saving your disposable income on a regular basis?
Global Investing
Constructing a clear investment strategy involves a number of decisions including your savings strategy, financial goals and investment vehicles. With global assets at our fingertips, we guide you through constructing a diversified portfolio.
Cash Flow Planning
What is your net cash flow on a regular basis? Are you keeping track of your income and expenditure. Many expats simply take the ‘head in the sand’ approach when it comes to managing their own cash flows. Start tracking your finances today.
Tax Efficiencies
Investing in various jurisdictions that potentially reduce tax burdens and levies imposed can be an excellent strategy to invest in a tax-efficient manner. It is important to weigh up the costs and benefits of such a strategy before proceeding.
External Specialists
I work with a range of external specialists to ensure a seamless process for my clients. I have built up long-term relationships with property investment experts, trust lawyers, will specialists and mortgage brokers to assist my clients.
These are just a few of my services. There are many other areas I can advise you on including:
Investing in Index Funds
Exchange Traded Funds
Direct Equities
Superannuation Strategies
UK Pension
Relocation Strategies
Key Person Insurance
Buy / Sell Agreements
Business Protection

Hear what my clients have to say about working with me
As a truly independent, fee-based financial adviser, I constantly put the needs and interests of my clients first. You can read the testimonials of some of my clients below.
“Jarrad provides relevant, timely and honest advice in relation to my financial position. I recommend using Jarrad to review your goals and objectives. You will not find a more honest and reliable guy, its nice to have the services of someone who actually listens to your situation and tailors a solution accordingly.”
Paul McKay, JP Morgan Chase“I have been expatriate in the Asia Pacific region for over 12 years and had a constant stream of advances from a large range of “consultants” promoting wealth creation. When Jarrad contacted me I chose to give him a hearing and he convinced me that he would manage my investment as if it was his own. His approach was fresh and appealing and since that meeting his open and transparent consultation has been fresh and rewarding. I look forward to working with him as I head toward retirement and would recommend him to others seeking to create some wealth prior to leaving their work environment.”
Frank Keough, McDermott“Jarrad is a very knowledgeable and personable adviser. He has a consultative approach and takes his time to understand his clients needs. He understands my goals and has has tailored a successful solution.I also appreciate his weekly market conditions newsletter!”
