CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Client Testimonials

"I’ve known Ian for 5 years now I think. What started as a fairly professional standard advisor client relationship has now morphed to a warm candid funny partnership, and that’s testament to Ian’s demeanour, his attitude to his clients - it’s never a sell; his openness to explore alternative options to his own advice is a real asset. He is calm. Professional. Curious. Well read. Always comes prepared. Very patient. (I can be very disorganised and he just rolls with it!). He approaches his clients with professional warmth and I’ve really enjoyed working with him for the past 5 years. You will be in great hands with Ian!"

- Joan Collar, Managing Director, MercerMarshBenefits Asia Regional Leader - Marsh Singapore

Pete Nuchanatanon, Head of YouTube Subscriptions Marketing, APAC - Google

 

"Ian has been helping me for 9 years with pre retirement planning and the associated investment management whilst I lived in Singapore and in the last year transitioning back to the UK and post retirement planning. He continues to support my investment management needs now that I am based in the UK with the aid of technology, even though face to face contact is now more limited. Ian is knowledgeable, thoughtful and a good listener as well as being organised and responsive."

-Christopher Allen, Principal - KPMG

What has historically happened to the S&P 500 after a 4% one day drop?

Warren Buffett once said "What we learn from history is that people don't learn from history". He was referring to fear and greed and the most common mistake repeated consistently - thinking that "this time it's different"!
