STAFF LOUNGE

Dan Corry – Financial Advisor for expat teachers.

A few international teachers have asked me recently about where to get financial advice (pensions, savings… etc) here in China. There are a number of advisors around, although I have been using Dan Corry (UK) from Crystal Asset Management. Please note that this is not an official endorsement, but I have personally found him to be very knowledgeable, proactive and not pushy.

Please feel free to directly contact Dan Corry if you would like to know more. His details are on the the bottom of the flyer below (click to enlarge).
