ABOUT THE LOGO

Still Waters Fiduciaries Logo

The “Sun”

Towering over the Forests, the Sun represents our Vision. It illuminates our Mission, fuels our motto, and heightens our belief.

The “Water”

One of the most plentiful and essential of compounds, Water is life. As simple as it may sound, Water equates to growth, nourishment, and restoration. Without it, life cannot sustain.

The “Forest”

The Forests, on the other hand, help maintain the high quality of Water and influence the volume of available Water. We are set to take on the roles of Water to nurture the community — our Forests, and together we grow as one community to bless all lives within and beyond.

The colour “Blue”

Boldness and confidence. Having the boldness to impact the community and confidence in your finances.

OUR HISTORY

Still Waters Fiduciaries (SWF), previously known as J5 has rebranded to SWF after the acquisition of FA license from BNM. Our position changed accordingly, from representing insurance companies to market products – to – representing our clients to source for the most suitable insurance products to fit their needs as a fiduciary.

At SWF, we have the expertise to tailor-make insurance products to fit certain clients or industries requirements. Besides, we have been actively working closely with insurers to come up with innovative products to help with the Malaysian economy especially after the pandemic.
