TESTIMONIAL

Trusted by Our Client

Not flashy. Just works.

“I am not a fund manager or a big institution but just someone who trades equities seriously and got tired of platforms with bad executions and poor customer service. A friend recommended Phoenix. Took me a while to make the switch — I am always cautious about moving custody arrangements. But the demat setup was smooth and clean, my holdings transferred without hassles , and the execution I have seen since, has been consistent. No horror stories. That’s all I really wanted.”

Lim Jia Hao

Individual Investor, Kuala Lumpur

Simple request. Simple answer. That’s unusual.

“We run operations across four countries and needed a card solution that could handle different currencies without us constantly chasing limits or reissuances. Most banks made it sound complicated. Phoenix just asked what we needed, confirmed what was possible, and set it up. My team has been using the cards for months now — payments go through, nothing breaks down or stops. Sometimes the best review is simply saying, “it just works.” And honestly, that’s mine.

David Mwangi

Finance Director, Family-Owned Group, Kenya

Finally, an LC that didn’t come back with 14 changes and errors

“I’ll be honest — I’ve had nightmares with LCs before: rejected documents, missed deadlines, banks that don’t communicate properly with the client and let you know the process and procedures clearly. With Phoenix, the LC for our palm oil shipment was structured correctly the very first time. No back-and-forth. The counterparty’s bank accepted it without a single query. how rare that is? I went as far as calling my operations manager to double-check it this is really the case or its too good to be true. We have completed three more transactions since then.”

Daniel Tan Wei Ming

Commodities Trader, Singapore

They understood the deal before we even finished explaining it

4.5

“Our SBLC requirement was tied to a government contract — the kind where one wrong clause and you are back to square one for months. I was prepared for a long deliberation with the bank’s legal team on the nuances of the documents and paperwork. Instead, by the second call, they already knew and understood what we needed and why. The instrument was issued in a clean manner in the first attempt, and the contracting authority accepted it without revision, so we moved to financial close. I wasn’t expecting it to be that smooth.”

Chinedu Okafor

Project Finance Manager, Lagos

They saved us from a deal that looked good on paper

“We were 90% of the way through an acquisition when Phoenix’s advisory team flagged something in the target’s structure that didn’t sit right. It took a few extra weeks to untangle, and honestly, at the time, I was frustrated by the delay but Looking back, that flag saved us from a liability we would have inherited without even knowing it. Good M&A advice isn’t just about closing deals. Sometimes it’s about having the discipline to pause one. I truly learned that here.”

Arjun Mehta

CEO, Mid-Market Private Company, Southeast Asia

The correspondent network is real — not just a line on a brochure

“Our project needed debt from multiple lenders across different jurisdictions. I’ve worked with ‘International’ banks before who turned out to have very shallow reach once you got past the pitch deck. Phoenix actually had the relationships internationally. The syndication came together across three lenders in two regions, documentation was coordinated properly, and we hit the finish line within a timeline close I honestly didn’t think was achievable. The network they talk about — it’s real.”

Kwame Mensah

CFO, Renewable Energy Firm, West Africa

Straightforward. No nonsense. Could have been faster but I’ll come back.

“I needed to unlock some capital from my shophouse to fund an expansion. A few banks I approached made it feel like I was asking for something impossible. Phoenix was different — they explained the process, told me exactly what documents were needed, and did not change the requirements halfway through. The valuation process took a bit longer than I expected, and I did have to follow up a couple of times. But the money came through, the terms were fair, and the expansion is now up and running. I would definitely use them again.”

Nur Hafiz Rahman

Small Business Owner, Johor Bahru

Held firm when both sides got nervous. That’s exactly what you need.

“In any significant transaction, there’s always a moment where one party panics and starts pushing on the escrow conditions. Having Phoenix as the agent meant there was a calm, regulated institution in the middle who simply pointed back to what was agreed. No drama, no favouritism. Conditions were met, funds were released, deal closed. My client on the buy side said it was the smoothest closing they had in a decade. I have already referred them to others twice since.”

James Whitaker

Business Broker, London

Reporting alone was worth the move

“We moved our foundation’s managed funds and assets to Phoenix after years of receiving quarterly reports that told us very little and explained even less. The first report we got from Phoenix’s fund management team was detailed, clear, and effectively addressed the questions we had been asking our previous manager since the past two years. The asset allocation philosophy is disciplined —is no chasing trends, no unexplained shifts. For a foundation with a long-term mandate, that is exactly the approach we needed. It has been a year, and our trustees are sleeping better.”
