“Hi Jeremy, just a quick note to say thank you for all your efforts. As a funny old sort, I know I was quite demanding in my requirements, but I am glad that you were able to service my needs in a most satisfactory manner. I feel that I now have someone that I can trust to give me good honest advice when it comes to my investments in the alternative markets. Many thanks”. - David, L, Herefordshire
“After looking into alternative markets for some time, and having spoken to a few different companies, it was refreshing to actually have a conversation with someone as opposed to being talked at! David Wallace was very professional in his approached, and I was impressed with the level of service that both he and Wave Management Inc. provided. The regular contact and updates after my investment have been extremely helpful and informative and I have already recommended Wave Management Inc. to family and colleagues”. - Roger, M, London
“Having responded to Wave Management Inc.’ advert on the internet, I found them extremely knowledgeable from the outset. I had previously very little knowledge of the environmental markets sector and I found the service provided to be professional and comprehensive.

Thanks very much for your help, and I look forward to doing more business with you in the future”. - Celia, W, Kent
“I had been looking at alternative investments for a while and had responded to a number of investment ads on the internet. I began to receive calls from a number of different companies but out of all of them I quickly warmed to how my broker at Wave Management Inc. was conducting himself. I was put under a lot of pressure and urgency from other companies to invest my capital with them, but Wave Management Inc. we’re different. They introduced themselves and above all they discussed what my actual investment needs were. They sent me their literature, guided me through a number of suitable investments and was happy to answer any questions I had for them. In the end it was an easy choice, and Im very pleased with how my investments have and are performing, particularly during a slow-down market”. - Howard, T, Buckinghamshire
“I have a considerable amount invested with Wave Management Inc. and based upon my past experience with them, I have complete confidence in their ability to deliver. I would like to thank everyone at Wave Management Inc. for their level of customer service, right from my broker through to the client relations department. After dealing with you for nearly two years, it was great to finally meet you all in person. Many thanks for your hospitality, and what was essentially an extended holiday!” - Hannus, V, Netherlands
