"I would not be as successful as I now am, without the numerous years of financial advice you have given me! Thank you Graeme Kirkland!
I have achieved a material difference in the strength of my financial health today - directly as a result of your time, your care, your explanations, your insights, and your overall considerate investment and financially strategic advice shared with me over the years.
I have particularly noticed this, moreso in recent years, as I have opened up, and listened to you more.
I openly concede that a most important part of this process is the fact that 'my skin in the game,' or my participation, and my sincere interest in achieving more for myself, my open-mindedness, my increased maturity, my increased capital contribution, and my willingness to apply myself to your particular process of success-achievement - this has also, really made a difference in our working together. It takes two to tango!
But your particular intelligent leadership, and earnest professional care for me in this process - well this has really made an unquestionably positive difference! Wow!
I am increasingly excited for my future. I am also very proud of what I have now achieved with your excellent professional guidance.
Thank you Mr. Graeme Kirkland!"
L.B.P. - Director, Technology Sector Corporation
"I really appreciate all the work you have done for me. You are working for me, to grow my account, and, over time, you have succeeded.
You have educated me; when I have questions, I ask, and you explain things very well.
My experience with past investment advisers over the years, was not as good as it has been with you - for several reasons:
1) you do not always 'follow the crowd,' and I like that.
2) you don't have a home-bias, and I like that.
3) you think 'out of the box' - I like that.
4) you make the effort to care for my accounts with your ongoing expert analysis, and actions, when required - and obviously, I like this.
5) you make the effort to maintain a good level of ongoing, pro-active, regular personal contact with me - this is key.
Thank you for everything you've done for me."

"The advice I have received from Graeme Kirkland has been excellent! Graeme is very creative, well-educated, and extraordinarily hard-working. I get his calls and notes. He keeps me engaged in the process. My opinion is respected and Graeme allows me to participate in the process as much as I desire; it is not a one-way street. For years now, Graeme and I have had a strong, good working relationship, of which I am very grateful for. In addition to Graeme's professional investment management focus, he has helped me with other integral aspects of my financial health, in diverse areas of estate planning, tax-planning, and more, beyond the call of duty, to very capable financial associates he has developed over the years. When I reflect upon all that Graeme has done for me in the way of helping me enjoy much stronger financial health and a good life, I don't hesitate for a second to recommend Graeme Kirkland's professional services for any qualified candidate who truly wishes to enjoy the benefits of an extraordinary investment professional and experienced gentleman of good character. I can't recommend Mr. Kirkland's expertise and care high enough, for those he will consider."

"I am an extremely busy CEO and time is my most precious asset. Graeme Kirkland understands this and pro-actively looks for ways to improve my financial health while I am busy with my business and family. Graeme Kirkland's passion and expertise for the capital markets, his hunger to always stay abreast of relevant financial matters, his understanding of complete financial health applicable to individuals, families, and executives just like me, his unique character of being one of the hardest working executives I have ever met, and his obvious commitment to caring 'beyond the call of duty' for others - all of this has resulted in my financial life and financial health looking stronger and better than ever!"
U.Z. - CEO
"I have been investing for many years now. I am very confident with the professional work I have received from Graeme Kirkland over many years now. He was highly referred to me from another experienced financial advisor I had, for years before - because I wanted a more sophisticated full-service offering than I had received for the years previous. Mr. Kirkland has proven to be a creative-thinker, market-savvy, very hard-working, and an experienced and exemplary investment professional who shows good considerations and good care for myself and all of my family.
I did not initially move all of my assets to Graeme's professional practice; however it was not long before I moved all assets from a competing firm to his care. It just made sense. I like his pro-active, customized, unique approach to investment management. His awareness and utilization of multiple international currencies and securities beyond just the commonplace domestic markets is a service we didn't enjoy with other advisors we had in past, but of which we have enjoyed with Graeme - this kind of more sophisticated, expansive outlook and approach is something else, and it has been rewarding. Should you happen to be qualified to be a client in Graeme's professional practice, I believe you would be quite fortunate to enjoy the expanded benefits of having a superior investment professional like Graeme Kirkland."
