I can retire with confidence because Amanda Steyn is managing your portfolio. Amanda took over my portfolio only a few years ago, but I wish it were a decade or so earlier. Amanda makes sure your money grows. She does not fill her pocket and then tell you when your portfolio has negative growth, that that is just how the market is, like the previous portfolio managers I had. Amanda knows her products and will ensure that your portfolio benefits you first. Amanda gives good and solid advice and although I often ask if I can retire at 60, but Amanda not only knows when I can retire but also explains why, providing clear reasons for her recommendations.

Having Anben as an advisor has been really refreshing—especially compared to others I’ve encountered in Dubai.
What stood out most is his honesty and integrity. He doesn’t overpromise or tell you what you want to hear. Instead, he consistently puts his clients’ best interests first.
He’s also reliable, responsive, and clear in his communication.
I would highly recommend him for anyone in UAE looking for straightforward financial advice.

Everything was made very clear - to the smallest detail. I was never left to wonder how to go about certain processes or what some terms meant

Amanda Steyn has been nothing but exemplary. I have referred her clients which she has taken in her stride and acted with absolute professionalism.
She handles queries with care. Has a knack for details and a true passion for what she does.
She is always quick to provide comprehensive solutions to new clients, fight tooth and nail for unsettled ones and has made my experience nothing short of amazing.

I have been working together with Geoff Dore from Holborn for about two years after being introduced to him by my friend Richard. My experience working with Geoff at Holborn Assets has been consistently positive. Geoff takes the time to understand my financial goals and risk appetite, and he explains investment options clearly and confidently. I appreciate his proactive communication. He follows up regularly, provides timely market updates, and ensures I’m comfortable with every decision we make.
What stands out most is his professionalism and genuine interest in helping me build a secure long‑term financial strategy. I feel well‑supported, informed, and confident in the guidance he provides. I would recommend Geoff to anyone seeking a reliable and knowledgeable investment advisor

Mark and his team have regular reviews with me to show me how my pension is performing and is always happy to answer all of my questions. He is an absolute pleasure to deal with.

Holborn Assets encouraged me to invest in Godwin Capital and other investments.
I have lost my money in all of them. Not one of them has paid me back.
Godwin has gone into administration. Same with the others.
Many disgruntled investors who have lost their life savings to Holborn over the years!
Avoid Holborn Assets!
After many convincing sales pitches, I invested in property with Holborns. The developer went into Administration. At the same time I invested the balance (to be paid on completion) into a fund, recommended by Holborns and that also went into Administration. This investment was to be my retirement plan. Upon going through the complaints procedure, recommended by Holborns, I have received no reponse. It is apparent that they did not do their due diligence and are not prepared in any way to compensate me.
FURTHER INFORMATION AS REQUESTED.
PLOT 59 – THE GASWORKS – HEWORTH GREEN (GPB 40,190.00) & LOAN NOTE 8 GODWIN CAPITAL (GBP 30,000.00) – TOTAL GBP 70,190.00.
A deposit of GPB 40,190.00 (Reservation Fee) - Final Agreement of Sale was completed 10th September 2023. Transfer happened some months after that.
Payment of GBP 39,512.00 (Upon completion which was expected to take 2 years. This included a full furniture pack. I set aside this amount however, felt since it could take 2 years I should earn interest on this amount. Upon the advice of Holborn Assets, on 13 October 2022, I invested GBP 30,000.00 in Loan Note No 8 with Godwin Capital. This would earn me 10% per annum over 2 years – ie GBP 6000.00. 6 months prior to maturity, this company also went into liquidation
I experienced commitment, professionality and patience and was treated with respect
