Excellent client experience!

James and his team at AGW have been great to do business with. They consolidated my disparate pension funds in the UK in a way that I could never have done myself, and proposed a solution which is efficient and practical. The level of service is excellent - as a client, you always feel that the AGW team is available and able to spend the necessary time to discuss important and complex decisions. Highly recommended.

James took over my portfolio about one year ago and since I only had a very good experience. James advices related to one's personal situation and he is not pushy, which I very much appreciate.

I have been working with James of Alpha…

I have been working with James of Alpha Global Wealth for over 6 years now. Investment performance over these 6 years is in line with my expectations. James is always available and proactive in making contact, despite the fact that I am sure I am one of his smaller accounts! Whilst other advisors come and go, with this 6 year history and with James having invested in his own firm I’m confident he will still be available in years to come.

Portfolio growth above target. Excellent team

I have been dealing with James , Jay and the team now for 3 years and have always appreciated the regular pension portfolio reviews and advice for our circumstances. The fund growth is above our net 4 to 5% target per annum after costs, having opted for a moderately defensive approach. I can highly recommend this efficient and excellent team to anyone who needs that attention to detail and personal touch.
Best regards

Alpha Global Wealth have a proven track record. They have a clear focus on the client need and deep knowledge and understanding of the investment opportunities. I have been particularly impressed by this client focused approach.... constantly seeking to understand short, mid or long term client objectives and risk tolerance. Alpha Global Wealth have always provided a number of measured and constructive options accompanied by clear and well articulated explanations

Very Positive Impression

Having spent 10 years in Switzerland and admittedly concentrating more on my career than wise pension investment choices it has been a pleasure to work with both James and Jay.
Following previous disappointing advice from another provider where considerably more was spent on charges than accrued on growth, it was a pleasure to discuss with James sensible options with total transparency on risk, benefit and charges.
Very professional in both advice, discussion and practical follow up. Clearly early days in respect of any comment on investment returns, but at this stage I would certainly recommend Alpha to any English speaking professional requiring reliable investment and pension advice in Switzerland.

Fresh Start

I was hesitant to meet James at first as I already had an existing advisor from a large company here in Switzerland. Nevertheless, I agreed to meet and James reviewed my plans. The performance never matched my expectations which were set out by my original adviser. James confirmed my suspicions. I was 'advised' before to invest into the own companies range of products and over the years one of the funds called UAM had been frozen and liquidated and I lost that money. Since then I had more than 70% invested in their GAM range of funds which haven't performed well, only to now find out they had 3% pa fees.

James explained everything in great detail with total transparency and took the time to listen to my concerns and future aspirations. I am now far better invested in a larger more diverse portfolio, which now truly represents my strategy and risk tolerance.

I can highly recommend to anyone that has existing investments to meet with the James.
