I have been working with the Arete team for over 10 years now. They helped me navigate insurance as well as financial planning. We now have peace of mind heading into retirement. Highly recommend their services.
I have spent many years in Partnership with Arete Financial. First with Jason's Father Frank, then with Jason himself. It has been just that a Partnership. Arete Financial from Jason, to all of his staff provide a service second to none. They take a personal interest in you as a person and guide you on a path to success for your financial goals. I would not want to work with anyone else or trust anyone else with my finances.
I’m very happy with Jason and how knowledgeable he is. He knows that I hate talking about money but he tells me that’s ok because he loves talking about it! I feel very comfortable knowing that Jason is looking after things for me and I appreciate his encouragement even though my portfolio isn’t huge. I would (and have) highly recommend him to others.

Client Testimonials

I recently entrusted Chris Lowe with my investments, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Chris is incredibly knowledgeable, and he took the time to thoroughly explain my profile and answer all my questions with patience and clarity. His expertise and commitment to ensuring I fully understood each aspect of my investment plan have given me great confidence moving forward. I highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a dedicated and insightful advisor.
Chris is a star! I would never have been able to start my own business if Chris was not in my corner guiding me every step of the way! Chris navigated my complex pension with such expertise so I was able to see my funds transfer efficiently! He truly is the best in the business ❣️
I highly recommend Arete Financial - Jason and Shelley are very professional, highly knowledgeable and incredibly accessible to meet all your financial planning needs. I am so glad I transferred my investments to Arete Financial!
