We are delighted with the move to MCG and our adviser, Jamie has been excellent. He is approachable, accessible and his calm manner is always reassuring. The best thing is that Jamie takes the time to explain our investments to us, answering our basic questions and always follows up with whatever he said he would do.
I was moving back home to Malaysia from Dubai in 2016. I had terrible experiences with the previous company and the person in charge until Chris Crowe took over and swiftly and effortlessly resolved the situation, putting me at ease. He is a wonderful, intelligent person to work with.
Now, my contact is Michael Garcia. From the first call, I knew he would do his best to make my money work harder. He explained things in a very simple way so that I could better understand. He advised me to shift my investment to the field that he believes will grow in return significantly compared to the previous selections. This is EXACTLY what I need to hear from him.
My advisor Chris Crowe has been fantastic throughout our interactions. He explains things to me in a way I can understand given I am not a financial expert. also Sam has done wonders in consolidating my pensions despite the resistance he has met from my pension companies. All in all thanks guys for continuing to provide me with the guidance and support I need
Initially I wasn't that interested in having a conversation when approached on the cold call (nothing new for me there !!), but Tom got my interest quickly and proved to be a very good listener and very quickly understood my core needs.
He has provided me with a great initial structure with which to manage my ongoing financial needs and also my inheritance and tax planning.
Its early days but I am confident that I will see returns that meet my and my families' needs
After the challenging period of the COVID, I needed a new set of investments able to reach my new targets. Tom Henson has been able to develop for me the perfect investment strategy by proposing the right set of products available in Melbourne Capital. More importantly, he managed to give solutions in a time where speed is a key element, My portfolio is stronger et more agile giving me more confidence in my financial situation in mid and long-term.
If you are looking for experienced, professional (yet friendly) financial advice and guidance, Melbourne Capital Group is second to none. Approachable, friendly people, no jargon, no wild science, just expert financial advice, backed by a professional, efficient service. I have been a client for eight years now and my investments are in the best possible hands.
They took over my bonds because they did hire the best financial advisors in Malaysia: Jake
Well of course they didn't help at all to recover my money. At least Jake took the bonus!
Don't trust this type of companies, don't give them your money. Do your own research, invest yourself on ETF or index.
My funds under another company were not performing at all but after Tom Henson reviewed my plans. He made changes and now making money again. Great customer service and able to explain clearly why we need to make changes.
After being invited by Juria Hartmans and some meetings with Tom Henson, I felt much more confident in applying my resources with MCG. What I liked most was a personalized treatment, understanding my specific needs at the current stage of my life. In addition to provide a guidance to the best investments in my case, the treatment was always friendly, kind, without the excessive formalities that could prevent me for explaining clearly my objectives. I really recommend the company for this guidance in the financial aspects.
Had another face to face meeting with Jamie to discuss my investment performance to-date (performing well!) I had several queries regarding where to allocate other funds, Jamie gave me more excellent advice and clarified everything that I was unsure of. Jamie is always available to help either online or face to face at the MCG office. Still very happy I made the move to MCG.
My previous financial company had let my account go stagnant. Jamie Bubb-Sacklyn managed to get it all sorted and transferred to Melbourne's care so that I'm now making money on my investments again
Not sure about the company, itself as I only have contact with my personal advisor which has guided me already for years starting with his previous employer. Based on his recommendations I have had substantial growth in my portfolio by re-investing profits obtained in form of interest payments on bond performance.
Our investment manager, Jamie, is outstanding. He guided my husband and I through a transfer from our previous investment company to Melbourne, discussed our financial needs and goals and gave us sound advice on investment strategies. He is always available to answer our questions, and is simply a wonderful person!
I've been working with Michael Garcia for a number of years now and our quarterly update meetings - which usually last for an hour or so - gives me the confidence that my investments are in good hands and any adjustments to the portfolio are always discussed in detail.
Our financial advisor has been stellar - more us becoming a friend rather than simply being clients. Good advice, cheerfully offered, with lots of room for discussion from both the advisor side and our side.
No hard-sell of any one idea, platform, or investment strategy, and our advisor has been quick to backtrack or move ahead to find solutions that fit our actual financial position, and our desire to safeguard capital without resorting to stuffing it into our mattress.
No belittling of some of our sillier ideas, but taking a hard look at the ideas and agreeing or disagreeing with politeness and serious alternatives if the initial idea was indeed silly.
Overall, we are very happy with our advisor, with management of our portfolio, and with the fees.
Many say you get what you pay for, and we feel we have received far more value from our payments than we would have with a "cheaper" option.
We feel a fee-based advisor arrangement benefits both sides - no pushing of the highest return to the advisor at the expense of the client, nor touting solutions that might be of more benefit to Melbourne, but not for us.
In short, we have received accurate, effective advice, had fun during consultations, and learned a lot. Our advisor also went the extra kilometres to resolve some sticky financial questions he could easily have said were not within his bailiwick, nor within his obligations.
This is what makes a company and an advisor very worth having a serious relationship with.
