SJB are always available on request in addition to providing quarterly reviews. I can recommend SJB Global with confidence, to provide sound advice and good service. Thank you.

Jake is very knowledgeable and always on top of changes in the markets and regulations and quick to react and give me advice accordingly.

As first time clients of SJB global who have dealt solely with Mr Alex Gover from the moment of our initial approach to SJB and our subsequent investment. The... read more highly professional and supportive manner in which Mr Gover dealt with our initial questions was an important factor in our selection of SJB over other providers with whom we had made initial contact.

His explanations of issues initially out of our experience have been both clear and informative - he has gone out of his way to ensure that the implications of every decision we have made has been clearly understood. Mr Gover is a man in whom we have great trust and we have been impressed by his willingness to ensure he understandsus and our financial needs. His openness and his integrity have been key.

Adam Smith
I moved my investment portfolio to SJB Global earlier this year as I was not seeing any growth with my previous investment company. I have to say that from the... read more initial phone call through to the finalization of the transfer I have experienced nothing but 100% professionalism from both Jake and Luke. On top of that they are both caring people who give you the feeling that they have all the time in the world for you, they explain things very clearly and are totally transparent when it comes to costs, something which my previous investment company were not. It is refreshing, especially in this industry to see such a different approach. Even though I have only been with SJB Global for 9 or so months I have already seen significant growth and I am very much looking forward to working with Luke and the team to grow further my portfolio in the future. I would highly recommend anyone who is feeling unhappy with there current investment performance to contact SJB Global. You will not be disappointed.

I've just completed the transfer of my UK pension to an international setup with SJB Global and Alex Gover as my Advisor. The process was made very clear by Alex... read more and I am confident that my finances are in safe hands with SJB.Over the last few years I've been contacted by many companies interested in advising on my expat/UK pension situation. However, I felt the approach of many to be pushy and/or they were not being transparent with fees. This was not the case with SJB, who clearly explained all the costs, constraints and benefits involved in the pension transfer and Alex spent a significant amount of time and effort with me ensuring I understood the process. Overall I am very happy and am in much greater control of my UK pension (and retirement) than I was previously. Cheers Alex

Iyad Hindawi
Having spent over 24 years of my working life in the UK, I decided to retire back in my home country. But with the issue of having to transfer my... read more pension, as my UK provider could/ would not sustain non British resident. I started the process some 1.5 years ahead of me retiring, as I had to consider all options available to me and most importantly finding a new trusted partner.As I was extra cautious, if not zealous, I needed to be walked through the entire process with due care and diligence, I have found all of this at SJB Global.Piers KEMP (my adviser at SJB) remained very resilient, and patient, to all my questions, including those about the reality and seriousness of the company (so many scams around in particular in the online world). He invested time and effort into our relationship, not making a single penny until the transfer was completed.So far so good, I am very pleased about SJB Global and Piers K. services.
