Robusto Asset Management are part of the Woodbrook Group, Pension Life investigated Woodbrook group a few weeks ago. Woodbrook had just 1/26 – 3.8% of their team members who were qualified to give financial advice. So are Robusto Asset Management – qualified and registered? Can they beat their partner company?
Robusto Asset Management has a website very similar to Woodbrook Group, so when you click on the ´Team´ button on the menu, you are taken to a page which does not give you ANY information about the team. Instead, you get their German address and a few paragraphs:

We aim to understand our clients absolutely and in so doing provide objective, tailored solutions that enhance their lives.
