From pensions, investments, protection, estate planning to mortgage and property solutions, we offer tailor-made financial planning to private clients worldwide. 

We pride ourselves for being entirely independent. This does not mean we are isolated, but on the contrary. We collect ideas and thoughts from some of the most respected names in the investment world. Our clients enjoy the full benefits of this as it means that there are no restrictions placed on recommending best-in-class investments and at the same time we are well positioned to design suitable, personalised portfolios as we have a deep understanding of individual needs and circumstances.

What Some Of Our Clients Say

Richard Browning

I met James in Manila where he befriended me all in the name of a game of squash! He unselfishly made it possible to play and we enjoyed many a game and conversation. Over time his knowledge and experience came to the fore and without any pressure he offered to help. His knowledge and understanding of the expat community and multi-national tax situations quickly became obvious and the trust he quickly built helped me secure what I think will be a brighter more secure long term retirement future. I cannot speak highly enough of him and his team and would happily recommend James and the Astraasia team
