Very professional company, the advisors and admin staff have been a pleasure to work with. My portfolio and service have greatly improved since working with them. I can highly recommend them. Also, they are licensed locally in Japan which is great.

Jan A
I have been a client of Argentum for a long time now as my advisor Robert Alfa has helped me with a number of solutions in a sound professional and timely manner. I would recommend Argentum and Robert Alfa for any financial related issues including tax advice, property investments and financial planning.
Total confidence in the whole team, Lloyd in particular, who I certainly regard as a friend as well as a trusted consultant. Should also be mentioned that they have generated a good profit over the past 3 and a half years, that will more than pay for my daughter’s immediate educational requirements in the UK.

John P
Martin has taken time to understand my situation. He came up with better plans on investment which is more applicable for me with my financial status. I trust Martin and his team's work and looking forward to hear more advise from them on my future investment plans. Highly Recommended.

Dave M.
Great service. Started working with Argentum when I lived and worked in Tokyo and from the beginning everything has been smooth, the quarterly reports are very clear, and importantly they are nearly always good news and if there is a shift in the market affecting my accounts Martin is quick to let me know.

Argentum is attentive and informative. Lloyd truly listens to my plans and goals and gives sound advice. He's checking in regularly without harassing and always follows up even on the smallest curiosity. I am so glad I started working with Argentum and better prepare for my future and my family's future.

Ryuichiro N
Argentum was able to offer advice on tax reduction strategies, combined with a great real - estate investment which in turn led to sound retirement investment advice. I recommend them for anyone looking for professional financial planning, investment, and property advice.

I found Jack Lowe to be extremely helpful. I had no idea about finance management and he explained everything very clearly. He’s a true professional and I strongly recommend using Argentum Wealth.

Richard S.
As someone used to managing his own finances and skeptical of the value of advisers, it is their "light touch" balanced with solid advice that I appreciate. Running into Lloyd at a British Chamber event also gave me confidence early on that he is well established and respected in the expat community here in Tokyo.

I've had a good experience with Argentum Wealth Management team. They've offered me some varieties of financial investment opportunities and remained in close contact with me throughout the investment period. I would recommend them to my friend if needed.

Argentum Wealth Management is a reputable and trust worthy firm especially for those persons who are busy managing their careers with little time to dedicated to financial planning and wealth management. Would highly recommend giving Argentum due consideration over other firms in the market place.
