Testimonials

"Mark’s vast experience in dealing with clients who know very little about the world of finance and investments became evident, and he was able to educate us using suitable terminology, enabling us to understand and make appropriate choices."

Midge and Stuart Holding

"Mark is very effective in clearly explaining financial aspects which we find complex, and he makes excellent use of freehand graphs to illustrate points, trends and financial investment relationships."
