Who pays us? You, our clients pay us. Don't make any mistake about that.

 

You may not actually write us a cheque but when we are paid commission then the amount of that commission was included by the providing company in the price structure of whatever service they are selling.

 

Nothing wrong with that but as purchaser you ought to know how much you are paying us and be allowed to judge for yourself whether or not the price is fair. 

 

That is why we have a policy of putting in writing to our clients the amount we are paid.  Whether you make purchases on an 'execution only' basis or via our advisory service you will know the amount of commission.  
        
For a full advisory arrangement we offer a fee based service. You can choose the charging structure you think best suits your interests.

    
In most of the countries in which we operate there is little or no regulation of the financial services industry.

 

There is acommon misconception that doing business with an advisor based in a regulated jurisdiction such as U.K, U.S.A., Hong Kong, Australia, will provide protection via those countries' compliance rules.

 

That is completely wrong.  The only relevant factors are the rules, if any, applying where the advice was given and where the application was completed.

 

The status quo has often meant that expatriates are unknowingly being saddled with huge sums by way of disguised charges on offshore savings and retirement plans that JJI does not offer its clients.
