WHY SAUJANA FUND
What Makes the Difference
Financial education is only useful if it's built around the real decisions people actually face. Here's what we've designed our programmes to deliver — and what we believe separates them from available alternatives.

Six Things We Do Differently
Educators Who Aren't Selling
Our educators receive no commissions and have no financial products to sell. Every session is paid for entirely by the participant, which means our advice reflects your interests — not anyone else's.
Built for the 40+ Life Stage
We don't retrofit content designed for 25-year-olds. Our programmes address the specific questions that arise when you're mid-career or approaching retirement — EPF drawdown, healthcare costs, income diversification.
Malaysian Context Throughout
Content is built around Malaysian regulations, EPF rules, LHDN tax requirements, and local bank products. You won't have to mentally translate from a foreign financial system.
Adaptable to Your Situation
Each session makes space for your actual circumstances. Whether you're dealing with variable monthly income or uncertain retirement timelines, the discussion is shaped around what's real for you.
Practical Tools You Keep
Each programme includes working documents — planning templates, comparison worksheets, retirement plan frameworks — that you leave with and can use independently long after the sessions are complete.
Follow-Up Access
The Resilient Retirement Programme includes quarterly check-in sessions for a full year. And across all programmes, our team remains accessible by email for follow-up questions after enrolment ends.
EXPERTISE
Knowledge Rooted in Real-World Experience
Our educators bring a combined background spanning banking, financial planning, adult education, and counselling. Dr. Nur Azlan has 18 years of experience in financial advisory and curriculum design. Puan Faridah spent a decade inside a Malaysian bank before transitioning to education. This isn't theoretical knowledge — it comes from working within the same financial systems our participants navigate.
- Deep familiarity with Malaysian financial products and regulations
- Adult education methodology — not lecture-style delivery
- Multilingual sessions available (English and Bahasa Malaysia)
What Our Credentials Mean For You
When an educator has spent years working within financial institutions, they understand not just what products say on the label, but how they actually function in practice. Our participants consistently tell us that this practical depth is what makes the sessions feel different from anything they've encountered before.
A Clear Structure, Not a Sales Process
Many financial services disguise consultations as educational sessions. At Saujana Fund, there's no product at the end of the conversation — only the knowledge and tools covered in the curriculum. Each session follows a defined plan, and participants know exactly what will be covered before they arrive.
PROCESS
Structured Learning With a Clear Purpose
Each programme has a written syllabus shared with participants before sessions begin. There are no surprise redirections toward financial products, no pressure to make decisions on the spot. The process is designed to build knowledge progressively so each session builds meaningfully on the one before.
- Syllabus shared before enrolment
- Sessions build sequentially on prior content
- Flexible rescheduling with 48-hour notice
VALUE
Transparent Pricing, No Hidden Costs
Our programme fees are stated clearly and cover everything included — sessions, materials, templates, and follow-up access. There are no upsells during the programme, no additional costs for materials, and no renewal fees attached to the documents you take away.
- Freelancer Foundations: RM 710 (2 sessions + template)
- Structured Deposit Course: RM 1,350 (3 sessions + worksheet)
- Resilient Retirement: RM 3,400 (7 sessions + 1-year quarterly reviews)
Comparing the Investment
The cost of one poor financial decision — a premature EPF withdrawal, a misunderstood structured product, an unprepared retirement — often far exceeds the cost of a well-designed education programme. We keep our fees accessible while ensuring each ringgit delivers clear, actionable knowledge.

WHAT SETS US APART
Distinctive Features of Our Approach
Scenario-Based Planning
We don't plan for one future. Our sessions walk through multiple economic scenarios so participants understand how their financial structures would hold up under different conditions — not just the best case.
No Minimum Asset Requirement
We do not screen participants by net worth or asset threshold. Financial education should be accessible to people at any point in the wealth spectrum — particularly those who haven't yet had access to quality guidance.
Bilingual Delivery on Request
Many of our participants are more comfortable discussing personal finances in Bahasa Malaysia. All our educators are bilingual, and sessions can be delivered entirely in BM or switched fluidly between languages.
Household-Level Engagement
Spouses and adult family members can participate together. Retirement and estate planning decisions made as a household produce better outcomes than those made by individuals alone — and we accommodate this structure.
