Justin at Chase Belgrave

Justin has asked me to review my experience with Chase Belgrave. Having met Justin in person in Zurich, close to where I live, around 2008, he helped me set up a mobile pension/savings plan (as I do a lot of work abroad) and also helped me with the 6 or 7 small pensions I had sitting around in the UK not doing much. I put them all together into a SIPP, invested the money into an S&P500 tracker and it's really exploded in value since then. The savings plan has done the same. Now, because I plan to retire outside of Switzerland, the tax treatment of these investments will be very beneficial (I won't be paying tax at all since I will retire to a jurisdiction without income tax). I really don't like to think of the situation I'd be in if I hadn't run into Justin all those years ago, sometimes life just works out. Beyond just tax savings and investment growth I think the real plus of my relationship with Chase Belgrave has been the reduction in stress and worry. When you've built up this sort of hard earned trust you just get to concentrate on the important things in life and leave the money worries to a professional. Thanks Justin/Chase Belgrave.

Retirement!

I retired yesterday! And I'm so grateful for Justin's guidance at Chase Belgrave over the last decade (or more). I first contacted Justin in a bit of a panic - after a recent divorce I didn't think I'd ever have enough to retire and the whole process has set me back. Justin went through all my finances including taxes, tore everything apart and built it back up again with a number of financial products which have led me to this point: I have been able to retire in comfort. My engagement with Justin has been genuinely life changing.

Chase Belgrave truly stands out in the world of financial advisory. Right from the start, it was clear that the firm placed great importance on providing a service that was tailored to each individual. They took the time to listen and understand my financial aspirations, and the results have been remarkable.

I met Justin at a yacht show in Monaco nearly 20 years ago and he has managed my finances around the world since then along with linking me to tax and structuring professionals around the world , finding me specialist insurance and loan/mortgage products for international people like myself. It's been quite a relationship and much more flexible and open than the private banking relationship I had before. I much prefer it

I was disappointed that the investment services provided by Chase Belgrave were not related to pensions, but the performance has been exceptional. Justin Harris has been quick to answer my emails and I feel I can trust this company for future investments.

Happy with my investing experiences :-)

I've been connected with Chase Belgrave for about 8 years now and couldn't be happier. John o'Leary has been fantastic at advising me and helping me direct my money into valuable investments. He is attentive to detail and very patient with all my questions. Having never invested before I have been coached through it so well that I feel really comfortable and secure with the choices I have made. He is able to advise on a wide range of financial matters helping me to feel at ease and knowing I can reach out at any time for further help. There is never any pressure, only worthy advice and I look forward to continuing my relationship with them.

Problem Solvers ...

I had been trying to find a solution for over year to move a UK pension so that it would be available to me from the US. John O'Leary at Chase Belgrave, who I would recommend to anyone was the only person I found who had the knowledge and experience to be able to find a solution for me. John is very professional, always responds in a timely manner and his expertise is unquestionable. He is very easy to work with and can make very complex issues easy to understand. His follow up is great, he fulfills on his promises and handles obstacles and issues with skill. I Highly recommend John and Chase Belgrave

I have been dealing with John O'Leary at Chase Belgrave, who I would recommend to anyone. John is a very professional, respectful, approachable person. He always responds in a timely manner and his expertise is the one you can trust. He is easy to talk to and can explain anything to you when needed. He fulfills on his promises and takes notes of your circumstances so you don't have repeat yourself ever. And because he understands your circumstances he helps you to get through any obstacles with paperwork with an ease. To deal with my pension transfer was indeed trouble less having John on my side.

John O'Leary at Chase Belgrave is the one to call first!

John O'Leary at Chase Belgrave is one top drawer expat financial advisor! He's walked me through every step of the transfer of my UK pension to an International SIPP. He really made me at ease with his thorough knowledge of the process and I'd hardly know there was a time difference to Canada.

Who can you believe and trust for best financial guidance, when you simply don't know the market where withall and are not into financial tradings.

After a few years debating what to do with my UK pensions as being an overseas UK national, I opted to consider support from a few financial experts, where John O'leary of Chase Belgrave came out the winner. He answered all my stupid questions clearly and concisely to take out the uncertainty of terms, conditions, acronyms etc. making all the options, risks and benefits clear to understand and make decisions from. I am happy to recomend John and Chase Belgrave to others, and hope that my funds will prosper beyond expectations going forward. Many thanks to John.

Great expat pension options

Had great communication and assistance regards my UK pension funds, regular phone calls and emails. Pleased with the investment options and certainly the returns so far have been excellent.
I’d urge any other expats to do likewise.

Excellent company

Excellent company. Chase Belgrave were able to help me sort out my UK pension when I was hitting walls with my pension company. As I don’t live in the UK every option I had looked at involved me losing money on both taxes and currency exchange. John and the tram were able to help me get the level of access I wanted while keeping my money safely invested. Totally recommend them
