Testimonials
Centaur Customer Satisfaction Video
“Centaur’s unique ability to find a niche in the financial markets is unquestionable but I do believe their greatest strength is their communication skills. I would highly recommend investors give Centaur a try.”
“It’s not often that you come across a financial services company that takes the time to listen to what you have to say. They have the ability to structure financial products that complement your investment strategy.
I have invested in a capital protected fund and a fixed income product with Centaur.
Centaur is extremely professional, receptive & friendly and helped make my investment much leaner and more responsive. Thank you Centaur.”
“Innovative products, great returns. I invested a 7-figure USD sum into a Centaur fund product in November 2012 and have seen returns of over 24% in roughly 2 years.”
“I became a Centaur client over 2 years ago whilst living in Dubai and have now relocated to the USA, my investment with Centaur remains my best performing investment and Centaur continues to keep me up to date on my investment and returns on a regular basis.”
“A business partner introduced me to Centaur products in 2012 and I invested a six figure GBP sum with Centaur. I am based in the UK but have visited the Centaur head office in Dubai and would have no reservations recommending Centaur to others.”
