What our clients say about us
We value our clients’ opinions and want to ensure that we continue to support them to achieve their financial goals. Results from our client survey in August 2019 show that:
I have no hesitation in recommending Globe IFA. They guided us through the SIPP process many years ago, and have continued to help map out our financial journey ever since - something that we’d have never managed alone and that has shaped our financial future.
A client since 2000
We have been with Globe now for more than 20 years, starting with AVC's, building up and ISA portfolio and finally now managing our pension arrangements. In every case, they have taken great care in ensuring that our attitude to risk was carefully managed and this has been reflected in the performance of our investments. Their very professional approach to the complex issues involved means that we would have no hesitation in recommending them to any new potential investors.
A client since 1999
For a good many years I have counted on Globe to give me sound financial advice, which has been effected in an efficient and friendly manner.
A client since 1998
Very impressed with our investments' performance, thank you - wish you had been our adviser years ago.
A client since 2019
As myself and my wife approached retirement we found ourselves needing advice on the various company pensions and other investments we had accumulated over our working lives. Globe gave us a clear understanding of our investment choices and arranged our pensions in a more structured easier to manage format. We found them straightforward to deal with and would recommend to anyone looking for financial advice.
