Holborn Assets Reviews

Pros

Every colleague of mine is important, sincerely they are. However, for me it is the DNA of the management team of any business that is crucial. This company is owned and managed by quite simply the best group of people in this entire industry. Yes, pay is vital, yes career development matters but, the people at the top make the most difference and Holborn Assets is a result of like minded people steering this business very well indeed. The business is simply a very nice place to work within and I am very lucky to have joined them.

Cons

No business is perfect, that is impossible to attain. However, to state any aspect of this company as a negative is simply inaccurate. I have worked here 25 months and have zero gripes at all.

Pros

Holborn is a company that people dream to work for. Holborn create this sense of family belonging and once you join the team you join the family. Holborn go out of their way to provide the most outstanding support and training and because of this i know that their will always be someone to turn to in a time of struggle or uncertainty. They provide an environment for optimal work and production despite what happening in the world. They are experts at what they do for a reason and because of this it is a privilege to work for such and amazing company. to gain knowledge and experience along side the the most experienced in the industry is a privilege.

Cons

No cons of working at Holborn

Pros

I came from another offshore advisory that was very negative and this impacted on clients experience. Holborn by comparison is led from the top in a client focused ethical manner, locally with a supportive and a great team working environment with some of the most experienced offshore specialists in South Africa. Products are spot on and allow you to help a huge number of South Africans desperate to get money invested outside of South Africa in secure top flight investment options

Cons

Its a growing business with growing pains and some advisers struggle to adapt to the very high net worth client base demanding requirements. As a result this can highlight individuals weakness, inexperience or ability very quickly. Compliance process sometimes lags behind demand

Pros

Simply the best Global IFA right now - Holborn invests heavily in support and systems to assist its Consultants around the world. The feeling of client first remains the standard and recent International awards underscore this fundamental principle. It is a pleasure to work for, and to build a career with this exceptional Company.

Cons

As the Company grows, some of the warm feeling of a family owned and run business can get lost, and it is starting to feel more like a "Corporate", but our CEO and his Directors maintain a very close and available culture with all employees.

Pros

Holborn offer the opportunity and support to build a business with a business. Other IFAs treat financial advisers as employees, which in my opinion, does not work well in this industry. As a family business, the owners truly care about the people they are building the business with and offer help wherever possible (going above and beyond - in my personal experience).

Cons

No office in Singapore - perhaps something for the future.

Pros

The commission remuneration system means that you are rewarded for the effort that you put in. The support and help that you get from your colleagues is fantastic and the level of knowledge in the office is very high. The company encourages and provides great education for their advisers. Company has a strong moral compass which is important in the financial industry and there is a heavy focus on the client and what is best for them.

Cons

Communication from the higher levels of management is poor. The low basic salary means that it can be stressful when starting out. The admin support can be lacking at times.

Pros

-Line Manager always available and helpful. -C-level Management is very approachable. -No Micro management. -Holborn created a very good/healthy work environment, where most of the IFAs are competing and helping one another at the same time "I feel involved in the bigger picture" -Opportunity to grow and pursue a career. -

Cons

can't point out a specific thing, some minor wear and tear, absolutely nothing major.
