Our Core Values

That is our mission. That is our DNA.

What we believe-

We have a deep understanding of and respect for our clients, their families,the people and values that are important to them and for their hard-earned wealth. Clients typically see our value even more clearly in times of fear and crisis.
But we are there for them through good and bad times.

ABOUT

Fee-based

We offer independent, fee-based advice covering:

There are various different ways of describing what we do – fee-only advice, asset consulting, fiduciary but the short version is that our clients pay us to provide advice and, because we don’t have the conflict of interest of being paid by product or service providers (something of a problem throughout financial services) then we are obligated to provide best advice and we are not exposed to conflict of interests.

Our investment advisory team is well versed in providing advice to private clients, small & medium sized businesses, multinational corporations, financial institutions, NGOs and governmental agencies and organisations, but primarily focusing on the accumulation, growth, and protection of family assets.
In that sense, we regard ourselves as a multi-family office.

The range of services required by our clients often intersects with broader issues and MBMG IA can provide background on resources variously available within the MBMG Group, and/or its affiliates and/or the available local or global marketplace providing relevant services.

Within the MBMG Group, MBMG Corporate Advisory incorporates a law team, accounting and audit services, tax advisory expertise and a broad range of corporate and family office resources.

Corporate and Personal Investment Planning

Ensuring your investment maximizes its potential requires careful planning and a clearly set-out asset allocation strategy tailored to your individual requirements and goals. MBMG Investment Advisory can help you make the first steps and guide you along the way.

Asset Allocation

MBMG Investment Advisory’s impartiality and independence means that its advisors listen to you to advise you on creating a personalised asset-allocation strategy and how to adapt your portfolio to changes in your personal requirements and the evolution of the markets.

Tax Planning

Creating and managing your wealth needs to be accompanied by careful analysis of the tax obligations on your investments. Astute planning enables you to find the ideal balance of investment and tax efficiency.

Retirement Planning

With economic conditions and longer life expectancy prompting regular changes to the rules; making certain you have a retirement plan that protects your wealth and will last throughout your retirement is more challenging than ever. MBMG Investment Advisory informs you and provides practical independent advice as to which schemes best meet your needs.

Inheritance and Succession Planning

Planning for the future is vital to protect your standard of living and that of your loved ones. Whilst thinking about the long-term future is easy to set aside and thinking about death is far from a pleasant pastime, it’s something we must all do, to avoid unnecessary complications and costs. If something happens to you and you haven’t got around to writing a will, who will receive your assets? To ensure your assets are passed on to the people you wish in the quickest, most cost-effective way, it is important to have a plan in place. MBMG Investment Advisory has been recognised once again in 2023 as Asia's leading estate planning and property solutions provider and can help you set out a strategy which works for you.

Common Reporting Standards (CRS)

We are fully conversant with OECD’s CRS and we expect Thailand to comply with this by the end of this year or next. Thailand’s Data Protection Act was held up for a year but is expected to be signed as legislation during 2021. We can provide a bespoke report on your how CRS may impact you as a Thai tax resident or in the case that you are resident elsewhere.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“It’s rare to find someone who works in finance but remains objective when money markets continue to rise. A herd mentality might work in the short term but if everyone is doing the same thing, it’s unlikely that anyone is doing any original thinking. So, as the problems stack up for the debt-ridden global economy, it’s important to remember that, since 2008, policy makers have not actually addressed the root causes of our economic problems. MBMG Group’s CEO, Paul Gambles, is a market insider who doesn’t buy the well-worn line that “it’s different this time”.

“Without MBMG, we could never have done what we have been able to do.
