Meet Ivan

It is vitally important that you ‘connect’ with the individual that you eventually choose as your Independent Financial advisor. This is true whether you are selecting someone to assist you in managing your assets and help you in planning to achieve your personal financial goals, or those of your business.

A good Independent Financial Advisor is someone who you can trust and turn to at any time, someone who really understands you, your aspirations and needs as an individual, and can relate the financial side of life to you in ways that are logical and clear. In addition, a good Independent Financial Advisor is someone who is prepared to be there for you, your family and your business for the long haul, by providing independent views on a variety of product houses and their products, while keeping your interests in mind at all times.

So if you are looking for more than someone to simply sell you an insurance policy, then we believe that we have a very good place to begin our first conversation. Call us on 021 434 8065 or email ivan@gfb.co.za to set-up a time to meet.

In the meantime, we encourage you to read on to find out a little more about Ivan.

A brief introduction to Ivan as an individual...

If there is one attribute that Ivan could pin to his success in delivering financial services, it has to be ‘understanding’.

Ivan doesn’t pair financial products with people, but rather creates financial management solutions that help people achieve their goals. Ivan sees insurance products and investment schemes as simply a means to an end in the lives of the people that he assists.

Ivan is a down-to-earth, honest and open individual who sees life as it truly is. He may not always mince his words, but you will leave his company knowing that you have enjoyed a meaningful, productive conversation with someone who you can truly trust – the way you would a friend.
