Background Business Philosophy Wealth Management Team Wealth Offering Why AJK Our Uniqueness BACKGROUND AJK Group began operations in Cyprus in May 1993, and has since evolved into a highly respected Wealth Management and Global Business Services Group, operating from its independent fully fledged offices. The Group employs multi-lingual and multi-disciplined professionals and supporting staff, with significant expertise in the global financial and corporate services industries. This enables the Group to provide a fully comprehensive collection of Wealth Management and Global Business Services to its international clientele. BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY Our Group maintains a boutique type operation and targets firms and High Net Worth individuals. The focus is on quality rather than quantity. Clients are serviced on an individual basis, are personally known to us and frequently visited by the Group’s executives. This personal approach allows the Group to have fewer yet carefully selected clients and to employ more robust due diligence and acceptance procedures. Our Group’s vertically integrated infrastructure in conjunction with our presence in major Financial Centers around the world, allows us to offer a truly unique and comprehensive Wealth Management Offering package.
