I have been using Alex as my financial adviser for more than a decade now. Alex has a wealth of knowledge and his advise and support over the years have proven to be extremely helpful and valuable. I have also consulted with Marcus many times in regards to insurance related matters and he has always assisted me in a proffessional and timely manner. I would highly reccomend Alex and Aperio to anyone seeking financial services or wealth creation. Thank you very much Alex for your exceptional service and support!

Terrible customer service, terrible communication - steer clear! I was looking for a financial services company to help me with my personal and business finances. I had a chat with Marcus on the phone who sounded very professional and arranged to meet him after hours on a Thursday. I was stood up that Thursday and never got a call the next week from Marcus or Aperio. I called and Marcus claimed to both text and email me to cancel, although I received neither. He did not call to confirm either. I thought I would give them another chance and the benefit of the doubt though as their website looked
