Well-combed hair, long sleeve shirt, and a briefcase – a typical financial advisor, that was my first impression of Darius. Darius inherited my portfolio when another financial advisor (FA) left the industry, and we met up to sign the paperwork to finalise the transfer.
After being my agent, we meet up about once a year, when my policies are up for renewal. Darius would go through my policies with me then, and after one year, I would have forgotten many details. Long story short, Darius pleasantly surprised me by always being extremely patient and re-explaining things. Additionally, he did not give me the feeling that he was putting up with my questions because I am the client and genuinely answered my queries.
Darius took the time to understand my needs and concerns, and though this is something that all FAs do, Darius did it with professionalism and kindness. No concern was taken lightly no matter how inconsequential, and no judgement passed.
He planned my portfolio not to give himself the best commission but to give me the best value and growth. He made sure that all my concerns (no matter how small) are addressed. There’s a saying that “Talking about money spoils a relationship”, well that is entirely not true with Darius. Darius changed my impression of FAs, and he truly is a gem in the industry.
Shine On Darius!
