About Us

Established 1994, London.

We started back in 1994 as Independent Financial Advisers based in London. In 1998 we expanded offshore initially to service expatriate communities in Asia and Eastern Europe.

We have grown our services from just giving investment advice to providing a full range of offshore financial services. A full holistic view.

This benefits our clients greatly, as everything is handled under one roof. This saves time and money, ensures ongoing compliance, and provides excellent client support.

In the last 25 years, we have enjoyed helping our clients with their Financial Freedom and Security.

At Neville Montagu, we are more than just international financial advisors; we are strategists for the modern global citizen. We specialise in cross-border wealth management and financial resilience planning, providing a cohesive suite of services to ensure your finances, assets, and future are secure, no matter where life takes you.

Our mission is to simplify the complexity of international life and empower you with financial solutions that offer clarity, efficiency, and preparedness.
