Experience counts!

I wish to express my appreciation to MCG’s Stewart Allen, who was able to provide me with a helpful and detailed analysis of my financial situation, together with practical recommendations that will determine my priorities and focus in the coming years. Stewart’s clients stand to benefit from his impressive international career background and genuine understanding of the peculiar nature of an expatriate lifestyle. Fortunately, Stewart is also an excellent communicator, with a keen awareness of the challenges and options that confront all expats. Highly recommended!

Adil Rafiq @Melbourne Capital is a professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely good person. I've got a very non standard expat set up running international business in Serbia and Montenegro and Adil has become a trusted advisor for financial planning. If this were ebay I'd give him A+++ and say 'Shop with confidence'.

Highly recommend Tom Raynor services

Tom Raynor has been incredibly friendly, caring, and attentive, always looking out for my best interests without being pushy. He took the time to understand my needs, patiently answering all my questions and ensuring I felt confident in my decisions. His honesty and down-to-earth nature make him someone I highly trust and recommend.

Adil Rafiq Professional down to Earth advice a

As a UK non domicile resident in Central Asia; the seemingly complex nature of pensions and investments lead inevitably to procrastination. Adil has been a breath of fresh air. Matters simplified, clear choices and seemingly always available.
Excellent work.

Adil Rafiq. A professional with patience.

Adil Rafiq was patient and very generous with his time. I knew nothing about investments and he walked me through several options having to repeat many times and answer numerous questions. I highly recommend Adil as a professional, honest and down to earth person who seems to genuinely want the best for his clients, no matter how small their budget is.

Currently I’m working with Stewart Allen. I work for an international tech company and I live in Thailand permanently. I decided to invest with Melbourne a couple of years ago and recently Stewart took over as my advisor. He is a smart, patient and knowledgeable person that is helping me plan for my immediate and future goals. I highly recommend Stewart for anyone seeking financial advice and planning.

Working with Adam...

Working with Adam has been smooth with no pressure. We are working on some ideas on how to manage some of my assets to drive a sustainable income over the years. Still early days but what I have seen so far is very encouraging

Highly relevant content and relatable to teenagers

Melbourne Capital visited our school and delivered excellent content that our students were under exposed to. This included taxes, debt, investing, domicile status and laws around jurisdiction based finance.

All presenters were extremely knowledgeable, but what impressed me most, was their ability to relate to the students and bring topics that aren’t always for everyone to life. Students particularly enjoyed appraising the value of investing in equities vs bonds vs real estate. The interactive activities were really appreciated by our students.

We hope to use MC again as they have allowed us to cover important financial topics in our curriculum with genuine expertise and passion.

Trustworthy and Professional

Mr. Seliyan of Melbourne Capital Group (MCG) is an outstanding advisor. He is approachable, attentive to customers' needs, and recommends solutions tailored to each individual's life goals. Referred by a family member, who has been Mr. Seliyan's client for many years, his financial planning advice is solid and reliable. MCG stands out as a trustworthy and professional advisory firm in the market, with transparent fee structures that I appreciate. I highly recommend giving MCG a try.

Professional and upright advisory

I have been working with Adam of MCG on a potential move of my assets to MCG. The communication was at all times based on mutual trust and professionalism. Given my complex setup both MCG and myself agreed that it would not be financially benefitial to move the assets. It takes a highly professional financial advisor with integrity to come to this conclusion.

I can commend Adam at all times. His products are very promising.

Very positive experience

My line of work as a Relocation specialist I constantly have clients moving in to Malaysia who I help with logistical support, but often they need other services like advice with VISAs, Health insurance and general financial planning.

In steps Joshua at Melbourne capital who I refer to my clients as the subject matter expert in anything finance! My clients are looked after and I have always had good feedback.

Would highly recommend Joshua at Melbourne Capital

Happily Surprised

Being naturally sceptical of anyone trying to sell me anything I was happily surprised to find that Josh and Luke were able to help me put my finances in order without the usual "hard sell", but by being nice people who want to help.
Having moved from the UK to KL, help with the financial implications of the move and the best way to manage my finances was really helpful.

Honest and transparent

I recently had the pleasure of consulting with Tom Raynor at MCG, and I couldn't be more impressed. Tom took the time to thoroughly understand my situation and offered tailored, practical advice on my next steps—always with complete honesty and transparency, and never with any pressure to invest or rush into decisions.

Thanks to his expertise, I now have a more comprehensive medical insurance plan that fits perfectly within my budget. If you're looking for genuine, professional, and trustworthy guidance, I highly recommend reaching out to Tom.

Advise on investing in US stock Market from Malaysia

Met Joshua at the Expat Curry club event. He is extremely knowledgeable on various topics that help expats in Malaysia. I personally received great information from Josua on Malaysian taxation rules related to investing in the US stock market. This piece of advise has changed my investment strategy from investing from India where they tax both capital gains and dividend income to investing from Malaysia where there is no capital gains tax. Joshua also provided required documents to file to claim benefits.
