"I always felt that a financial advisor profession is as much about people as it is about the money. After spending time in various countries for over 15 years and achieving a decent level of success with  some self-study financial decisions, I was looking for someone who could advice with wider financial management rather than just investment planning. I tried speaking to some service providers and realized that most of them start with sending a lengthy questionnaire or asking for loads of documents. Then I came across Hemant's blog and found it quite interesting.

My very first conversation with Hemant cleared many concepts about the key aspects of financial planning. Till then I had operated from a very narrow idea that it was all about multiplying returns.

It has been almost 6 years now since I have been working with Ark and during this time I have moved countries, added more dimensions to my personal finances but something that has remained constant is the transparency and customer focus by Hemant and his team. It gives me peace of mind to know that I can reach out to Hemant with questions, ask for suggestions while taking key life decisions involving financial implications and can always  expect a clear and frank response. I am very happy with the professionalism with which my financial aspects were dealt with and am glad that I have been able to build a high level of trust in this team.

It is the trust that makes this association mutually beneficial."

“At the onset I would thank Hemant and the Ark team for providing this vital service. At a certain point a few years ago, I found myself with no debts which was great, but also with barely any assets. It was a bitter realisation that investing was not an area I had any skills in and hence started searching for a way forward. I trawled through the internet, avidly reading blogs and articles and even went and bought some books. During this time, I found myself reading Hemant’s blogs quite frequently, impressed with the clarity of thought, practical advice and willingness to challenge standard savings approaches.

I contacted Hemant and the positive impression was cemented when he was willing to answer all my questions and requests for references. He did not offer me a single-way of doing things, but personalised the approach and plan to my life circumstances. I was initially apprehensive that I was trusting a stranger with a big chunk of my savings, but have never regretted the decision to make that first call. Since then, Hemant has provided a steady hand guiding my portfolio towards a good return. He has been unfailingly supportive whenever I have had any questions or when my situation has changed. His team have provided excellent support in making this process easy and smooth. Thanks to the Ark team, I hope that financial independence is not a distant dream. And BTW, I have still not read that book I bought 🙂 ”
