The Idea

Everyone in this world has a dream, a goal, a mark, a destiny set in their minds. And many have the energy and commitment to follow that dream and achieve their destiny. But not many have a clear sense of direction to reach their goal and ensure a prosperous future.

Two years ago, on a sunny afternoon while sipping cups of cappuccino, a group of friends were discussing the same thing; finding the right road to reach one’s dreams. It was then, during that leisurely discussion that they decided to establish a platform where they could help others make their dreams come true. It was all about helping others determine a clear and precise direction to achieve their goals in life, and ensuring financial protection on the way.

In encyclopaedic terms, a compass is a navigational instrument for finding directions on the Earth. In a more artistic term, Compass is financial advisor for finding directions in life. Compass ensures that your investments are put in beneficial practices, your savings are equally fruitful and your life, health and assets are insured.

The Values

Compass stands for many values, which may be similar in nature but different in their impact. These might be a few words in the reading, but for us, they are the foundation stones of our day to day working. These are the words that make up the Compass.

• Composure & Compassion
• Opportunities & Objectivity
• Methodology & Meditation
• Plan & Preparation
• Analysis & Architecture
• Substance & Solutions
• Support & Sincerity

The Ethics

Over the years we have consciously made an effort to keep all our business values intact. Our business ethics are the ones that set our direction. We value our customers, their privacy, their assets and their lifetime savings. Each time an existing or a potential client walks into our office, s/he gets our singular attention. We listen to your problems and situations, analyze them objectively and suggest to you the best possible solution that is available. Our primary payback is your trust. We want you to trust us to be your financial architects.

We always keep you in the business loop so that you know where your money is. We keep our clients updated with all the fluctuations in the market, their financial investment status and where there protections and investments stand. With us you are always in control of your finances while we are there to advise you on each decision you have to make.

The Corporate Social Responsibility

"Sentiment without action is the ruin of the soul." - Edward Abbey

A philosopher, P. Cannon Rasmussen, once said, “To determine how successful your actions might be, consider how your efforts will serve to improve the lives of others.”

We believe in that theorem. At Compass, corporate social responsibility is essentially our contribution to sustainable development and betterment of the communities and societies beyond borders. While governments may introduce laws that protect the environment as well as its citizens' current and future economic and social needs and rights, we as a responsible business entity recognize our responsibility in going beyond what is required by law when managing their impacts on society, the environment and the economy.

As part of our renewed efforts towards this goal, Compass has funded the treatment for an 18 year old Sri Lankan to undergo heart surgery.

Our helping hand is extended even to those within the Compass family by patronizing & funding the medical surgery & corresponding treatment expenses of one of our colleague’s mother in Pakistan.
