56-65 years old"Alex has worked with us over many years to assist us with investment and retirement planning and we have now achieved financial independence in our mid fifties, which is earlier than it would have been without input and advice from Alex. Alex is always clear in his explanation of financial and investment concepts, strategies and regulations. Through Alex's knowledge and experience, I feel very confident that the advice given was right for our needs. "

He has a great skill for explaining complex information in a way that non-financially savvy people can understand. If in doubt, simply 'Ask Alex'!"
