Dr L Scott, London
I have always been the arch sceptic about financial advisers, so it has taken me decades to come around to the decision that my wife and I needed a financial adviser to help with retirement planning, investments and wills. First Wealth have proved to be knowledgeable, offer good advice and are totally on our side. A good friend, who is an accountant and who is a personal client of Anthony's, suggested we speak to him when I asked her if she could recommend an IFA. Since then I have sent my daughter and son-in-law to him for advice and they are pleased with his approach as well. Anthony is a very personable young man, who we like and with whom we are happy to discuss our financial affairs and accept his advice.
Mr M Lewis, Lincoln
Excellent all round professional service, very personable, understanding of personal and family issues, specialist in financial planning, mortgages, pensions etc etc. From the outset understood our risk profile, where we are at with our young family and adjusted their advice to suit those parameters.
Mr S Gershon, London
First Wealth takes time to understand your needs, considers the best options, explains each of them fully, gives a recommendation based on sound judgement, and communicates highly effectively throughout the investment process. They have the utmost integrity, and take great pride in doing the best possible thing for their clients. Their charges are reasonable and are great fun to work with.
Mr R Sammons, London (now Bermuda)
Over the past 4 years I have received sound, quality advice and service on a very personal level with respect to my then forthcoming, and now current pension aspirations. Indeed, everyone who I've encountered at Anthony's company, First Wealth, have been familiar and conversant with my account and can answer virtually any query I may have on the spot. This has given me great confidence that I matter, and would recommend Anthony's knowledge and personal service to anyone who may be approaching retirement.
Mr E Swift, Putney
We first met Anthony Villis about 8 years ago. He instilled confidence from the first meeting and his initial service was such that we have transferred all our financial affairs under his wing 6 years ago. He now advises my wife and I, my mother in law and both of our children who are young adults. We have felt able to recommend him highly to two other friends. He is thoughtful, available at all times, always pleasant and is particularly good at explaining financial matters in a patient and jargon free manner such that we feel able to make confident decisions using his advice upon which to frame them.
