Excellent service and advice - doing "the right thing" for the client
James came to our company and gave a presentation during our lunch break. I explained to him the tragic history of my SIPP that had lost more than 50% of its value with 2 previous advisors. James was able to look at the underlying problem and managed to work with your Hornbuckle Mitchell and Quilter to close my old policy which was costing £6000 in fees per year and open a new account reducing the fees down to £500 per year. Alpha Globe Wealth provided exceptional service and did this restructuring without charging any fees or making any commissions over a period of the last 18 months to ensure that I received the best outcome. Thank-you Alpha Global Wealth!
The hero is the one preventing the fire
James approach me to highlight issues I was not aware off. Thanks to him I have now been able to re-invest assets that were not performing.
A very professional yet human approach to make complex matters understandable. This is done with the appropriate support to ease the customer experience in handling the bureaucracy behind. so far so good and look forward to great growth with expert advise.
A great company to help with investment
I've been with Alpha Global Wealth for just over a year. During that time they have been pro-active, with sound, honest advice on my investments. I’d recommend them heartily.
Expertise with a personal touch
James and his team at Alpha Global Wealth have given me great advice on investments and also really come to my aid in sorting out the complexities of various UK pensions.

Financial advise by James Barnes vs. a simple fund seller
James Barnes took a genuine interest into me as an individual and my family situation to establish the long term needs and sound financial planning. He provides me with a very balance view on trends and resulting yields vs. risks based on his deep expertise. Go to James Barnes when you want a well rounded financial advisor.
Helpful, knowledgeable and responsive.
I have been working with James to consolidate & manage my UK pensions, in order to maximise their value and support an appropriate risk profile. I have been impressed with his detailed knowledge of UK pensions, tax etc. and can favourably contrast his expertise with others. I have found him, and his team, impressively organised (in the face of my own impatience with administration) and they have made what seemed complicated appear relatively easy. I am very happy to recommend him to others who value professionalism and knowledge coupled with patience, efficiency and a real willingness to listen to what clients want & to navigate them through these, often complex, issues.
I currently have some health issues that had pension and other implications. I found James and the team responsive, helpful and considerate. I am very thankful to them.
