The Voice of the Martyrs International

“I had the pleasure of working with Trevor from 2009 to 2011 and can attest to his professionalism when dealing with complex client matters.  I provided discretionary asset management services from which Trevor satisfied client needs.  Trevor took the time to really get to know his individual clients and offered unrestricted, impartial best of solution structures for each and every one.  No two clients were the same and that was certainly reflected in the structures of his clients.”
David Bushe, Chartered FCSI, Head of Investments, WH Ireland Wealth Management (LinkedIn)

“Trevor has always been available when I needed to communicate with him.”
Stephen King, Director, Laboratory Services, Tapion Hospital, St. Lucia. (Client on LinkedIn)

“Trevor has been my advisor for over seven years and in that time he has done an outstanding job of making me feel centered and comfortable as I embarked on setting my financial footing.  I approached him after a seminar he presented at with the need of understanding where I should be investing based on my specific needs and understanding the local landscape.  After our interview, I was clear on where I should be focusing and what would be superfluous for me.  Trevor is extremely aware of the local and international options available and I’d well-networked to find the information necessary.  Of additional value, is his knowledge of our social and cultural constructs that allow him to best determine investment fit.”
