I have been a client of JBCM and its predecessor for many years. They admirably suit my needs as a busy barrister who lacks time – and to an extent inclination – properly to look after his own financial affairs.
I have been and am impressed at the technical expertise displayed, which combines well with a common-sense approach and the ability politely but firmly to ‘nag’ me, when needed! The investment recommendations made are invariably sensible and well-explained: importantly I have faith in their judgment. They have a good sense of my financial needs and aspirations. JBCM simplified my rather complex previous arrangements and manage the current arrangements with skill and expedition.
I have further been impressed by their willingness to devote time to assisting and advising my wife and myself when there is no obvious financial advantage to them. They also liaise well with other professionals, including my accountants – importantly without troubling me!
In short, they provide an efficient, skilled and prompt service, ideal for someone who needs a professional service and needs to trust in the ability of his advisers. Without their help, my financial affairs would be a mess; with it, those affairs are in good order.

I am a lawyer and have been a client of JBCM for 6 years. They are excellent at proactively managing my portfolio. I like the fact that I am included in the decision making process. Each year they ensure that I add the maximum to my pension portfolio and they manage it in accordance with the agreed strategy.
I have been impressed by their attention to detail when selecting investments. Richard and Paula have been particularly diligent in ensuring that the administration is smooth and the costs are clearly disclosed and are kept to a minimum.
I understand that JBCM manage the affairs of a number of the partners within my firm and the feedback is always positive. I recommend their service to any busy professional who wants to be able to delegate their affairs to a proactive, sympathetic and professional adviser.

"Richard…I wish to thank you and your team.
In particular, Jennifer was exemplary in both keeping me advised of developments and also handling the somewhat demanding documentation required from those companys with which I originally had funds. I seem to recall some sage pronouncing that "as a man is known for the company he keeps, so is a company known for the men it keeps". If we can just ignore the gender element for the moment, on what I have seen over the past few months, JBCM have a very strong team of which I am very pleased to be a customer - hopefully this relationship will last for many years to come.
With very warmest regards."
