Who We Are

Independent, Advisory-Only

David Goel Consultancy is an independent, advisory-only firm that provides process-driven support to qualified clients in public markets and related areas (e.g., equities, foreign exchange, digital assets/crypto, and commodities). We do not hold client funds, we are broker-neutral, and our work focuses on mandate clarity, risk frameworks, and decision process. Nothing on this site constitutes personalized investment advice, an offer to buy or sell any security, or a solicitation in any jurisdiction where such offer or solicitation would be unlawful.
Eligibility

  • You must be at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction, and (where applicable) a qualified or professional investor under local regulations.
  • Access to certain pages, documents, or dashboards may be restricted and subject to onboarding, KYC/AML checks, and a written engagement letter.
Risk

No Guarantees; Market Risk

Markets involve risk of loss, including the potential loss of principal. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Any case studies, client comments, statistics, or examples shown are illustrative, time-bound, often client-reported, and may not be representative. You are solely responsible for your trading and investment decisions.

  • We may change, suspend, or discontinue any content or feature at any time without notice.
