Testimonials

I am not one of those people who are finance crazy, in fact, I find it mundane, weird, I know.. Luckily I have met Michele Carby whom I absolutely love dealing with. I think she really understands me and my needs and actually has the ability to get through to me...
I feel very comfortable with her as I don't have to get formal with her, I can just simply tell her, this is what I want and I don't want to do XYZ to get it and she gets it and delivers.

Recently Michele Carby and PayPal Trehan paid us a visit to update our policies and I must say I was even more impressed than the last visit. They even indulged my 16 yo son who had taken a sudden interest in finance and I mean really indulged him. Sat with him, gave him good advice, he enjoyed the visit and looked forward to their next visit at which they also offered him solutions to some of his queries! I should add, he's an introvert and he felt comfortable with them.

I have also had the pleasure of dealing with Elize Van Wyk telephonically who is always pleasant and usually has me in stitches with her casual humor...

All 3 these ladies have been amazing and exceptionally patient. I would certainly recommend them highly!

The amazing superwoman that knows no limits (despite surgery!)

Thanks for your support and friendship.

Michele is a stable consistent person who has given good investment advice to me and my wife over the past 5 years. We are a relatively small client account but she is always available on email, telephone or for meetings with us and has her team send me a monthly statement without fail. I would have no hesitation to recommend Michele as an Investment Advisor.

Michelle has been very professional and has always kept us up to date with how our investment is doing.

Michele and Payal make a formidable team. In the time we have been working with them, we have been very happy with their advice and their service of our portfolio.

I chose Holborn Assets for processing my Portugal Golden Visa Application and I am very happy that I made the correct decision. Choosing and trusting someone with your money with whom you do not have a physical interaction and only have an online interaction required a huge leap of faith. But Elize and Shayne, who were my contact persons, were very supportive and answered all my queries in detail and gave their honest opinion and feedback throughout the process. We reached our goal in time as given the roller coaster ride the GV program was having due to new proposals introduced by the Portugal government was keeping everyone interested on their toes. The process at Holborn was very seamless and hassle-free. I am very satisfied with the quality of the service.

We have always had some form of financial advice and up until the last few years the workings of investment and financial markets has been beyond me. However, since working with Michele and Payal I have for the first time felt we have understanding and control of our investments. We are no doubt 'smaller clients' but have in no way been made to feel so by Michele and her team. I enjoy our meetings as each time I leave having learnt more about investing. Michele and Payal's ability to make you feel at ease is appreciated. I would highly recommend Michele and her team.

We have the right partners for our future!

I have attended and viewed many economic overviews like this in my life and this in terms of content and presentation is one of the best ever!

Looking forward to the next one!

Take care and be good…thank you for making investments humane with your empathy and personal interest..

Been a very happy experience 🎉I would unreservedly recommend, everybody on the team has been extremely professional & always available as the experience has been daunting, which we did know & expect, but you don’t realize until u in it - but everyone has truly held our hands😊🎉

Congratulations on this award, a truly great achievement!

And great to see that Holborn won so many awards as well.

Michele and Payal have been fantastic in growing my investment , in communicating regularly with me and in making me feel confident in them !!

I have met a number of financial advisers in my 47 years of work and have found Michele & Payal to be a dynamic duo , which Michele leads.

The freshness of their approach and willingness to research product lines is enlightening , incisive and wholesome.

I have confidence that my financial affairs are in qualified and caring hands and would not hesitate to recommend them both to others.

We had excellent service from Michelle and her team at Holborn. They were honest in their predictions and advice. They didn't try to get us into anything I couldn't handle!!! I wholeheartedly recommend them!

It's been a crazy 2020, but we have gotten through it.

Just wanted to say a special thank you for everything. Your support to me over the last year, I am so happy that our paths crossed when it did 🙂 Thank you for being an important part of my recovery journey. It's been a difficult last few years and I really couldn't have done it without the support I've had from my doctors, friends and people like you to get back up on my feet again. You have held by hand when I was lost financially and now with the health insurance coming through -you have played such an important part in me getting back my independence, confidence and security when life throws bricks.

Thank you so much- for your kindness, compassion, empathy and support. for listening to my story and now being a part of it. keep doing what you do, making a difference in women's lives- I am your biggest advocate 🙂

I have been working with Michele and Payal at Holborn Assets Dubai now for the last 3 years. For me, the most important attribute I look for in my choice of FA is trust - I'm not a financial wizard nor do I want to be. I need to trust that the people I give my hard earned money to will do their best to look after and grow it, without me having to give directions. I am so happy to be working with Michele and Payal, and I have absolute trust in their desire to do the best for me, as well as the skills to do it. Payal frankly knows more about world goings-on and how to apply it to making solid investments than the Financial Times.

Of course the real proof is in the results and in the short time since I consolidated all my savings and investments with them, they have doubled my growth and returns compared to how they were performing under other FA's.

For the serious investor this is good enough I expect. But an added bonus is they are a real delight to work with and bring not only a wealth of information to our face to face meetings, but a great attitude and big smiles too.

I too enjoyed our meeting today and thank you, Michele and the team,  for the great work you perform on my behalf.

Michele and Payal and Elize are absolutely amazing. I trust them 100% and then explain everything fully and clearly so I can make proper well considered decisions.

Michelle Carby and her team have been completely transparent and honest with me since taking on my account. Both Michelle and Payal turned what was a negative view and loss making investment with Holborn Assets in to a positive experience, by providing me an investment vehicle, which is working my money to gain returns.

Having worked with a financial advisor who simply miss-sold a product to me, and never made contact for nearly 2yrs, to working with Michelle who is frequently in contact with me , has restored my faith in Holborn Assets. I would highly recommend Michelle and her team to friends in the region, and look forward to receiving her continuous support.
