BBC, private investors and retired business owners

One instance that stands out is their support following the loss of my wife. There was a complex tax issue that my portfolio managers struggled to resolve. Cynthia Kett personally stepped in, met with them, and clarified the approach needed to address the situation effectively. This level of care and professionalism is why I continue to rely on their guidance.
