What makes 1.618 International Stand Apart?
Many traditional advisory firms in this industry offer one-dimensional solutions with high fees that eat away at clients' growth. These solutions are often limited to standard investment products or basic financial planning.
Empowerment and Advocacy
Clients benefit from our team, a team that stands with them, advocates for their interests, and provides ongoing support through every stage of their financial journey.
Bespoke Private Market Opportunities
Access to exclusive private market investments, designed to enhance returns and manage risk, not typically available through standard brokers or expat advisory firms.
Holistic, Client-First Approach
Focused on generating yield for its clients and managing costs. With comprehensive balance sheet management, estate planning, and multi-jurisdictional expertise, we ensure every aspect of your financial life is considered.
Regulatory Strength and Advocacy
Deep engagement with regulators and trustees and a proven track record of standing by clients to resolve complex issues, unlike many brokers who may prioritise product sales over client outcomes.
Rigorous Due Diligence
The firm approaches every investment as if it were its own, conducting thorough due diligence and only recommending strategies that meet the highest standards of quality and risk management.

Rather than extracting maximum revenue from a single product, 1.618 International's model involves managing a range of investments with you, building long-term value and trust.

The Golden Ratio.
The "Golden Ratio" is a mathematical proportion expressed algebraically as the ratio 1.618. It is found everywhere in music, art, architecture and nature. French composer Claude Debussy used the Golden Ratio in his Reflets dans l'eau musical piece, Mozart divided a significant number of his sonatas into parts which reflect it, Le Corbusier used it in his architecture, and Leonardo da Vinci used it in his exquisite painting, the Mona Lisa. The ancient Greeks used the Golden Ratio in building the Parthenon, and it was utilised by the Egyptians in the construction of the Great Pyramid of Khufu in the twentieth century BC. The ratio is evident in the seed patterns within sunflowers, the leaf arrangement of flower petals, and the spiral structure of the nautilus shell, from which our symbol is derived.
