The Arlo Group UK & Arlo International Reviews 47

Toby Band explained pension matters extremely clearly. He listened carefully to my concerns and proposed a solution that was based on what was important to me. He took time to answer my questions carefully.

Attentive service and great advice. No sugar coating just honesty, information and support.
Highly recommended!

Working in the Middle East where there are varying levels of 'quality' of advice, I wanted to work with a trusted, knowledgeable regulated adviser to assist with investments and retirement planning. The advice i got (from Daniel Roberts) was first class and the service second to none. Very happy with the outcome.

I’ve used the Arlo group for my pension transfer ,they have been nothing but exemplary, communications have been excellent and Ben my financial advisor has been extremely professional giving me sound advice , I would definitely recommend them

Having had my pension transfer dealt recently by J.Hives and the Arlo group. I have been well impressed by the professionalism and cooperation throughout the process,i was always kept informed by either email or by phone in how the transfer was progressing.
Everything went according to plan and a very satisfactory conclusion has left my wife and i in a healthy financial position.
Many thanks to Jonathan and Ben and Arlo for your excellent financial guidance.

I have nothing but great things to say about Ben and Arlo Group, Ben has been very informative and he has gone over and above his job description helping us understand our finances. I would recomend the Arlo Group to anyone looking for a safe investment statergy and long term financial freedom.

I have been receiving advice from Jonathan Hives for several years now, including when he was with his previous company. I have found him to be very knowledgeable and trustworthy, and he has helped me immensely in planning my finances for the long term.

I have followed my advisor across continents and entities, now at Arlo. My complex multi-jurisdictional situation and needs have been satisfied whether internally or via collaborations. My loyalty remains steadfast to follow the right people.

I've been working with Ben B at Arlo for the past year now, and have been so impressed with his level of support and eye for detail with the consolidation of my large number of private pensions (which were quite frankly a total mess). Ben helped me with the very complex process of wrapping my pension values into a personal risk-profiled SIPP, and I now have visibility and control over my single but well diversified investment. I also have regular market updates from Arlo, which are pitched at a level which I can understand, and Ben is always on hand to discuss any issues, ideas, or concerns I may have. Great service; thanks Arlo.

We have been with Arlo for years and their service has been impeccable. Very helpful advice, detailed and tailored to the circumstances. It has been a pleasure to have Jonathan Hives as an adviser - he has been approachable, attentive and has provided a great insight on market advice. Overall 10/10.

I’d like to thank Ben and the excellent team at Arlo during this past 6 months. They have guided me through the very complex process of releasing my previous final salary pensions and investing into a SIPP. They have provided first class service coupled with amazing patience and sound financial advice. Complete professionalism. I am in the process of recommending Arlo, and Ben in particular, to colleagues who want to follow the same path to releasing their DB Pension schemes.

Since moving to Ireland and for a few years now, we have had the good fortune to have benefited from Jonathan Hives wealth of experience and financial knowledge, (from before he joined The Arlo Group to the present day). He has been able to take our previously under-performing/stagnant pension plans and really turn them around in a particularly satisfying manner.
Nothing is too much trouble for Jonathan and he is always available on the phone or by email to provide top drawer advice and direction for our finances.
We would thoroughly recommend both Jonathan and Arlo to any prospective clients.

I have been working with Toby Band for a number of years, when he moved to Arlo I decided to move my pension portfolio also. The excellent service I had always received has continued and the whole process of switching to Arlo was made very simple by Toby.
Recently I have used Arlo for tax consultancy, Scott Barlow has been very professional and certainly simplified an area which can be a bit of a 'minefield'.
I would have no reservation in recommending Arlo to anyone who needs sound financial advice.

Prior to my becoming a client, Jonathan Hives took time to visit my husband and I at home in rural France. As a result of this attention to detail, he has a deep understanding of our personal circumstances, goals and objectives. We typically don’t fit into the usual boxes and being risk averse it is invaluable to be supported by someone that we know and that we can trust. Jonathan is always extremely accessible and he pro-actively offers regular check-ins and market insights. We are very pleased with the guidance received concerning my pension and I am looking forward to retiring earlier than I originally imagined.

Jonathon and his team particularly Mercy have been excellent during my recent pension transfer to a sipp.
They listened to all my needs took time to talk me through all options explained all fees and made them fully transparent they helped me compare other options honestly and explained hidden fees in the alternatives.
Since proceeding in business they have followed up closely with a belligerent previous pension provider and followed up with monthly calls to discuss portfolio performance which is just as they advised it would be.
I have already referred colleagues to them and would do again without hesitation.

I have just transferred my pension portfolio to a much better scheme Daniel and the team were great to deal with and supplied all the information i needed and made everything hassle free. great work would highly recommend Arlo Many thanks for all your help Mr Bradbury

Recently transferred the management of my financial account to Arlo. Very impressed and cannot fault the way my account is being handled, the customer focus is at the right level .....neither absent nor excessive. In the same manner I feel the customers wishes are heard 100%

Toby band has been providing excellent financial advice to me for several years. When he moved from deVere’s to Arlo I decided to move our portfolio with him. This was due to his advanced expertise in financial services coupled to his professional and personable engagement. It has been a pleasure working with Toby and I have recommended him to friends and colleagues. I can see from the reviews posted to date, the very odd naysayer excluded, that I am not alone in my positivity about Toby’s professionalism and excellence.

We are very fortunate to have Jonathan Hives as our financial advisor for many years, and now a key Member of the Arlo Group. He is very proactive and performs regular reviews of the portfolio, with sound recommendations for improvement, generally proving to be the righ ones. He is always looking for quality products and very wary about costs.
Jonathan answers any query immediately, making you feel confident he´ll always be there when you need him, and that you are his most valuable client. Such a client focused approach is one of his strongest points, this coupled with sound financial advice makes him very valuable to us, and to the Arlo Group.

Moved back to UK from HK just prior to pandemic and found the service and services from Arlo and specifically Jonathan Hives, were able to adapt to my individual situation, tailoring tax and investment advice to my future goals. Jonathan went out of his way to deal with legacy investments from a number of foreign institutions and countries that I was bringing back with me to make them UK compliant. The advice on both the tax and investment fronts has been spot on as well as refreshingly responsive and proactive with respect to new opportunities or challenges. I will continue to recommend Jonathan to friends and colleagues.
