WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY

Lenard Pretorius
My wife and I met Michael in 2004. As I had just retired from my senior corporate position we needed to ensure our financial affairs were in good order and future financial needs would be attended to in a professional manner. After meeting with Michael, we took on his recommendations and here we are, 12 years on, and extremely pleased with the decision we made, and of course the financial growth achieved. We find the entire Absolut Wealth team pleasant at all times and easy to work with. They are always courteous and helpful and thus easy to recommend to others. His advice has also been very sound and he has managed our financial future such that we are very pleased with the value he has added since our first meeting. We are very comfortable with his recommendations and after due consideration follow these.

Mike Field
Michael has been my financial advisor of the past 11 years. Throughout this period I can honestly say that he has consistently offered advice and guidance which has resulted in significantly higher than inflationary growth year on year. With his assistance my wife and I can look forward to our retirement in the safe knowledge that our investments are in good hands. Over the years we have grown to see Michael as not on a business partner, but more as a personal friend. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Michael as your personal financial advisor.

Rudy McLean
I have been associated with Emmanuel Kritzas for over 10 years, and found his investment advice, with this knowledge of Equities, his support of long-term investment horizons, as well as the strategy of diversity to be of significant value to my retirement funding planning.
I have also found Emmanuel to be constantly up to date on current issues and has always proactively supplied impartial pertinent information relevant to the changing markets and investment dynamics.

Byrne Millard
The great thing about Absolut Wealth Management is their agility; being agile they are nimble and because they are nimble, they are able to satisfy every need I have, be it my investments, my provident funds or my Insurances. My Independent Financial Advisor, Karen van Rooyen, keeps me up to date on, not only local market trends and movements, but also what my money is doing in the offshore scene. With Karen looking after one’s hard earned cash, Absolut is really all one needs.
