Client Bulletin

I wanted to update and reassure you that in this time of global crisis, The Blacktower Financial Management Group of Companies and our Nexus Global Network are still very much on hand to assist. We have robust Business Continuity Plans that were rolled out early last week, implementing a robust staffing plan with employees working from home, in conjunction with a limited number of staff being in our offices where appropriate. In line with government advice, client visits to our offices are no longer taking place, so we ask you to use our online services or our telephone service. In a people-focused business these measures have not been imposed lightly, however protecting both your and our own welfare must come first.

As I’m sure you’re aware, the knock on effects to financial markets have been severe. We want to make sure we are able to support our clients in any way we can to help manage your financial arrangements and ensure as far as is possible the smooth functioning of all transactions.

In line with Governmental travel advice, we have implemented strict policies around travel to and from affected areas, as well as enforcing self-isolation guidance. All of our global offices are adhering to local requirements in their region, whilst also supporting the global network of our Group.

Our priority is to continue to deliver our services without interruption and so do not expect any impact to the high level quality of service you are used to receiving from us.

Should you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact your usual Financial Adviser in the first instance.

I would like to thank you all for your continued support and understanding during this difficult period for everyone.

Your Sincerely

John Westwood

Group Managing Director

University buildingExpat financial advisers in the Netherlands discuss many things with their clients – from the best way to structure expat regular savings to pension transfers and inheritance planning.

However, for certain expat parents and grandparents living in the Netherlands education fee planning is integral to the realisation of their wider goals. And why shouldn’t it be, university degrees are among the most important and expensive investments you can make in a young person’s future.

This is why a recent decision by the Amsterdam District Court should be welcomed by the clients of many expat financial advisers in the Netherlands as it could lead to their education fee burden being reduced dramatically.
