Since moving to Penang, I have received help and advice from Tom Raynor. He is not pushy, but genuinely helpful and pleasant, a rarity amongst planners. Being married to a teacher, he understands tea... See more

Smooth process and clearly reasoned investment strategy
Had several sessions with Adil Rafiq to plan an investment strategy and other matters such as life insurance. Everything went very smoothly and the reasoning was clearly explained. Would recommend.
Responsive and professional
Adam has been doing some great work with me to reduce my tax burden and to assist me with making the right investment choices. Everything is explained so that I can understand it and all consequences are presented honestly and clearly. I would definitely recommend.
Change to MCG and specifically Luke White.
Since using MCG and specifically Luke White, an existing account is performing better and a new product he recommended better than I hoped.
Moreover, the advice received is appreciated as it’s well balanced, considers comfortable levels of investment and not at all pushing to take on new accounts.
Glad to have made the change to Luke’s support.
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.
Bespoke financial advice to fit our needs
I have been using their services and Seliyan's guidance for more than 5 years and they have ensured that all the financial decisions made are based on my goals and earning capacity. They carefully look into short and long terms goals and introduced me to investment opportunities that was previously not visible to me. I have always felt my money was safe when investing with MCG.
Trust my investment manager
Melbourne Capital is a great place with pleasant atmosphere. Felt very welcomed and was also introduced to key people in the organization.
More importantly my Licensed Financial Planner Seliyan Swaminathan is someone i trust for financial advise n the right management of my portfolio.
Stewart Allen.
Much appreciate the reserved manner in which Melbourne Capital dealt with my investment interests. No hard sales pitches or distracting phone calls, instead the ball is left in your court.
The advisors I’ve spoken with have come across as genuine, helpful & knowledgeable people.
Stewart Allen is the advisor I have recently been dealing with. Stewart has given me some valuable financial advice as well as providing an interesting investment strategy. Easy to deal with, experienced and professional.
I’m sure that many of us always push…
I’m sure that many of us always push back when Financial personal approach us and I can empathise with this feeling as I myself had been through the same prior to meeting with Chris,….together we discussed an appropriate plan of investment and even though I hoped this was a fund for future retirement …., unfortunately this was not the case as a very unforeseen employment issue arose from no where, and I had to fund myself through the savings / investment that I had put away…., I know now that keeping a fund ongoing and sacrificing now is a must for the future and I have learnt the hard way, …..although I have depleted some funds I know that it will be re financed once I am back on my feet. It’s not a pleasant story but it’s the truth of this life we all travel through…. So in thanks to Chris and his team for ensuring there was an ear to listen and actions to support in some very tough times. Looking forward with positivity and genuine acceptance that we can ALL have apathy and none of us our exempt.
Excellent service from Drew Mitchell
Drew provided a number of excellent options for my investment goals and ultimately recommended the best for my personal requirements. I would highly recommend Drew and Melbourne Capital Groups services to others.
Moving back to Malaysia from Dubai
I was moving back home to Malaysia from Dubai in 2016. I had terrible experiences with the previous company and the person in charge until Chris Crowe took over and swiftly and effortlessly resolved the situation, putting me at ease. He is a wonderful, intelligent person to work with.
Now, my contact is Michael Garcia. From the first call, I knew he would do his best to make my money work harder. He explained things in a very simple way so that I could better understand. He advised me to shift my investment to the field that he believes will grow in return significantly compared to the previous selections. This is EXACTLY what I need to hear from him.
A real advisor that understand your priorities
After the challenging period of the COVID, I needed a new set of investments able to reach my new targets. Tom Henson has been able to develop for me the perfect investment strategy by proposing the right set of products available in Melbourne Capital. More importantly, he managed to give solutions in a time where speed is a key element, My portfolio is stronger et more agile giving me more confidence in my financial situation in mid and long-term.
Our financial advisor has been stellar…
Our financial advisor has been stellar - more us becoming a friend rather than simply being clients. Good advice, cheerfully offered, with lots of room for discussion from both the advisor side and our side.
No hard-sell of any one idea, platform, or investment strategy, and our advisor has been quick to backtrack or move ahead to find solutions that fit our actual financial position, and our desire to safeguard capital without resorting to stuffing it into our mattress.
No belittling of some of our sillier ideas, but taking a hard look at the ideas and agreeing or disagreeing with politeness and serious alternatives if the initial idea was indeed silly.
Overall, we are very happy with our advisor, with management of our portfolio, and with the fees.
Many say you get what you pay for, and we feel we have received far more value from our payments than we would have with a "cheaper" option.
We feel a fee-based advisor arrangement benefits both sides - no pushing of the highest return to the advisor at the expense of the client, nor touting solutions that might be of more benefit to Melbourne, but not for us.
In short, we have received accurate, effective advice, had fun during consultations, and learned a lot. Our advisor also went the extra kilometres to resolve some sticky financial questions he could easily have said were not within his bailiwick, nor within his obligations.
This is what makes a company and an advisor very worth having a serious relationship with.
My investment manager is outstanding
Our investment manager, Jamie, is outstanding. He guided my husband and I through a transfer from our previous investment company to Melbourne, discussed our financial needs and goals and gave us sound advice on investment strategies. He is always available to answer our questions, and is simply a wonderful person!
Good advices
Kal Murray always provides me with good investment recommendations that fit my profile
Another productive meeting with Jamie
Had another face to face meeting with Jamie to discuss my investment performance to-date (performing well!) I had several queries regarding where to allocate other funds, Jamie gave me more excellent advice and clarified everything that I was unsure of. Jamie is always available to help either online or face to face at the MCG office. Still very happy I made the move to MCG.

A fledgling investor who found the best advisor
I was looking to make an investment as I am fast approaching retirement age with nothing in place. The Melbourne Capitol advisor, Jake Mowson came to my help. Now, we can all be sceptical at times but Jake always made me feel comfortable and as an advisor, he did just that, he advised. Never any pressure and always available to discuss matters. Brilliant
Chris is professionally attentive and…
Chris is professionally attentive and always helping me to sort out any issues that I faced, be it with payment method issues, investment etc to name a few.
