Alex Cheema

Business Strategy Consultant and Chartered Financial Planner

BSc, MSc, MSc, APFS, Certs CII (MP & ER)

Biography

I advise our clients on how to grow and protect their assets, working with higher net worth individuals, wealthy families and successful growing businesses.

I am a Chartered Financial Planner which is an exclusive title only awarded by the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) to individuals and firms which meet rigorous criteria relating to professionalism and capability. All Chartered Financial Planners commit to the Code of Ethics & Conduct of the awarding body reinforcing the highest standards of professional practice in our business dealings.

I also have a BSc (Hons) in Chemistry & Pharmacology, an MSc in Organic Chemistry & an MSc in Financial Risk Management. Before becoming a Financial Adviser, I worked as a Front Office Investment Banker with a Tier 1 bank in London during the financial crisis of 2009 and beyond, so I have first hand experience of navigating challenging and volatile Financial Markets. I have also worked for Pfizer in Germany as a research scientist earlier in my career.

Currently, we do not have any employed staff; We simply outsource certain pieces of work to reliable, skilled professionals. This works well for the firm and for our clients, in what is arguably a gig economy.

I am currently working towards the Chartered Market Technician® (CMT) qualification which is a means to further develop technical analysis in the investment process for my clients. This in conjunction with strong macro analysis, understanding of and feel for the financial markets and global political backdrop.
