What our clients say
"I am regularly asked what the secret to success is. Well in my own world it’s having teammates with ability and intelligence, but more importantly those who can be trusted in times of crisis and who stick together. And that’s what you want too from your financial advisers. This is what I have at Alan Steel Asset Management. I am surrounded by trusted teammates and a leader with vision and pride in his job. Now because of my connection with them over the last 20 years I make decisions I want to make, rather than have to make."
Gordon Strachan, Football Manager
"Thanks for everything you have done for me in the past and I'm confident you will continue to do in the future. At risk of constantly repeating myself, I never stop thanking my lucky stars that I heard of Alan Steel Asset Management - however many years ago it was! - and that you and the girls have been taking care of me ever since."
Mary Cavanagh, Bishops Stortford, Herts
"As an investor in high-growth companies, I place great emphasis on the professionalism, trustworthiness and integrity of the people we are backing. I have adopted the same approach when it comes to seeking investment advice. Alan Steel Asset Management have advised me and my firm on our own pensions and investments for the last two decades. They have delivered consistently and have always provided us with an exceptional quality of service."
Calum Paterson, Managing Partner, Scottish Equity Partners
