Kevin has a wealth of experience, accumulated over five decades in the finance industry. He has lived and worked in Singapore for over 35 years, first as the head of a British private bank and later taking the reins as Chief Executive Officer of a local financial institution before establishing Unicorn with the rest of the leadership team in 2011. He has an Honours degree in Economics from the University of Manchester.

It was with Unicorn that Kevin had had the great pleasure of fulfilling one of his life’s great ambitions: to build a truly great personal financial advisory company with authenticity at its heart. Throughout his years with Unicorn, he was extremely proud to be part of a practice that was built on sincere, lifelong relationships, tailor-making financial advice genuinely suited for each and every investor.

At the same time, he was realistic about his own hopes and expectations for the company and clear about his priorities in running the business. He says, “We knew we couldn’t be perfect in our foresight and advice, but we could control our attitude and behaviour: our commitment to looking after our investors diligently was and remains fundamental to our business.”

Asked what yardstick he would take in measuring the future success of the company, his answer is uncompromisingly firm, “We shall never measure our success just by our bottom line. The success of a financial advisory business like ours is best demonstrated by investors being genuinely well-served by trustworthy consultants”.

Certified Advanced Financial Planner (CAFP)

The CAFP designation represents a mark of distinction earned by a select few within our firm who have demonstrated exceptional technical proficiency, strategic thinking, and commitment to investor success.

Out of the hundreds of professionals trained over the years, only three have attained this rigorous certification—testament to the high standards and deep expertise required. CAFPs are often called upon by fellow practitioners across the firm to support key investor engagements, where they conduct in-depth financial diagnostics and develop tailor-made blueprints with solutions that are both precise and easy for investors to embrace.

In addition to their advisory role, CAFPs also lead the development of internal training curriculum, and set a strong example through the way they run their professional practices.

The CAFP designation is not an exam-based certification—it is a recognition earned through real, on-the-ground experience. It affirms those who have consistently walked alongside investors, helping them navigate complex financial challenges with clarity and care. More than a title, it’s a validation of meaningful impact, earned through mileage, not just modules.
