Overall I have had a positive experience with EFG International. The advice around discretionary has been useful and meetings are well prepared. Onboarding and compliance documentation took longer than I expected. It has not been a major problem, but it is the main area I would improve. I value having a clear point of contact.

Client reviews
Published reviews managed by the editorial team. These reviews do not affect published rankings.
EFG International is strong on international hnw and the team communicates well. I am happy with the relationship, although the service level is high, but the minimum relationship size is not accessible to everyone. The core service is still very solid. The experience has become easier as the relationship has matured.
The portfolio discussions are thoughtful and I like the way the team connects fixed income with broader objectives. I would like the digital experience to be as polished as the relationship-manager service. Once that was resolved, the rest of the process was straightforward. I pay close attention to costs and communication, and both matter to my rating.
I would rate the experience highly, especially for discretionary. The only reason I am not giving five stars is that fee discussions required more detail before i felt i had a complete picture. Service quality itself has been consistently good. My priorities are long-term and I prefer a measured approach.
The relationship has been dependable and professional. I get clear answers and good follow-through. The breadth of services is impressive, although getting the right specialist into the conversation can take coordination. I would still recommend the firm based on the overall quality of advice. I tend to ask detailed questions before making portfolio changes.
There is a lot to like about EFG International: preparation, research and the way digital is explained. Onboarding and compliance documentation took longer than I expected. A little more simplicity there would make the experience better. I care more about consistency than frequent trading.
I appreciate the disciplined approach and the fact that the team does not chase every market trend. The service level is high, but the minimum relationship size is not accessible to everyone. That aside, the ongoing reviews have been useful and focused. For me, service quality matters as much as investment selection.
The advice has been relevant to my situation and the team has been accessible when I need them. I would like the digital experience to be as polished as the relationship-manager service. It is a manageable trade-off, but worth mentioning. I review the relationship carefully each year.
EFG International has delivered what I expected in terms of fixed income and overall portfolio support. Fee discussions required more detail before I felt I had a complete picture. I would give the investment conversations five stars and the administration four. Clear documentation makes a noticeable difference to my confidence.
The team is professional and the recommendations are usually presented with enough context to make a decision. The breadth of services is impressive, although getting the right specialist into the conversation can take coordination. I would like to see that part of the experience become more efficient. I prefer recommendations that are tied directly to my objectives.
My experience has been positive, particularly around international hnw. Onboarding and compliance documentation took longer than I expected. The relationship still feels well managed and I have not had concerns about the quality of the discussions. I value proactive updates when markets move quickly.
I am satisfied with the service and would continue the relationship. The work on fixed income has been valuable. The service level is high, but the minimum relationship size is not accessible to everyone. That is the main reason for four rather than five stars. I am comfortable with complexity when it is explained clearly.
Overall I have had a positive experience with EFG International. The advice around discretionary has been useful and meetings are well prepared. I would like the digital experience to be as polished as the relationship-manager service. It has not been a major problem, but it is the main area I would improve. My main benchmark is whether the service saves me time and improves decision-making.
There are clear strengths here, especially international hnw, but the service has not always matched my expectations. Fee discussions required more detail before I felt I had a complete picture. I see the value in the firm, although there is room to improve the client experience. I appreciate when risks are discussed as openly as opportunities.
The team is knowledgeable and the fixed income conversations have generally been worthwhile. The breadth of services is impressive, although getting the right specialist into the conversation can take coordination. For my needs, that friction has mattered enough to bring the rating down to three stars. I prefer a relationship that remains disciplined during volatile markets.
I have had some productive meetings with EFG International, but the relationship has required more effort on my side than I expected. Onboarding and compliance documentation took longer than I expected. I would like to see a smoother process before rating it higher. I want reporting that makes it easy to understand what changed and why.
The investment perspective is credible and I appreciate the work around advisory. The service level is high, but the minimum relationship size is not accessible to everyone. The fundamentals are good, but the execution of the client experience could be more consistent. I expect specialist advice to be coordinated rather than fragmented.
I came to EFG International with a fairly specific objective and the team stayed focused on it. The discussions around digital were thoughtful and the implementation process was easy to follow. Responsiveness between formal meetings is important to me.
The relationship feels proactive rather than reactive. I receive context before important decisions, and the team is good at explaining how a change in discretionary could affect the wider portfolio. I prefer straightforward explanations over sales language.
I have worked with several financial institutions and this has been one of the better-organized experiences. Documentation, follow-up and portfolio reviews are handled with a high level of consistency. I value being able to challenge a recommendation and get a detailed answer.
The service feels personal without being informal. I like that the team is willing to say when an idea is not a good fit rather than trying to force a product into the portfolio. My expectations are high because this is a long-term relationship.
The team is professional and the recommendations are usually presented with enough context to make a decision. The service level is high, but the minimum relationship size is not accessible to everyone. I would like to see that part of the experience become more efficient. I like having enough information to make an independent decision.
