WORST experience of my life. It took 2YEARS to move our money to another company and they made it so difficult. DO NOT put your money here.
Previously while I had someone to look after my money it went ‘ok’ then my financial advisor left the company, I had no one contact me, no one help or review my stuff so found another financial advisor elsewhere. Then we issues moving it and they made things so difficult for our new advisor and awkward. Finally 2 yrs later we got our money back and our new advisor has finally got it and is now making us some money!!
If you are thinking of investing with this platform, think again unless you are happy to see your money disappear.
We were advised by one of their consultants to invest in a UK property with the promise that it would fetch monthly rental income. In reality, the property sat vacant for months. We eventually had to reduce the rent just to find a tenant. That tenant only stayed for a year and the property was then vacant again.
At the same time, we were also advised to invest in Godwin Capital, a decision that now haunts us. Years later, Godwin Capital is under administration and that investment is now a complete loss.
What's worse, they have been completely unresponsive. I have sent multiple emails and received no reply. There's no follow up and certainly no support. Their advice is unreliable and when things go wrong, they disappear.
Honestly, we should have dropped all our money into Quorentseven. We'd be in a better spot now. They actually pay us every time we request it with no issues ensuing.
I had a great experience with Holborn Assets. They really helped me with my pension so I am now aware that my retirement is in safe hands. Thank you for the great advice! 100% would recommend!

The Holborn team M (Mark McAllister's team) has given me excellent service for the past 6 years. Good portfolio construction, very good quarterly reviews and risk assessment sessions.

If only they spent as much time looking after customers as they do removing 1 star ratings. Why was my negative review removed? Holborn has asked me for comment and this is my response. Coomer wqs nor removed

While most of my investment experince has been positive it was during a negative experiance that Henry Kent supported me.
Henry took full control of a negative sitaution, came up with an alternative plan and drove it on.
My new circumstances are moew positive now.
Great to know that you have somebody in your corner who will defend your best interests.

My experience with the Holborn team has been exemplary! Jonathan Ralph, Rodgie Yosores and Matthew have been instrumental in making a complicated system reachable and understandable by those of us not steeped in the profession. I appreciate their patience, understanding and at no time was there a rush to finish, even when I had a lot of questions. They recognized that I was trusting them with my life savings and they treated it as if it were theirs as well and helped ensure that we had examined all the relevant information and options to ensure the best outcome for my family. Not what is best for their corporate position. Customer service and support was first and foremost on their mind.

My initial inquiries about the Golden Visa were met with warm and personable assistance. My associate has been helpful in addressing every concern. I look forward to working with Holborn.

Holborn Assets create really great videos and webinars that are thoroughly informative with great advice and guidance on Golden Visas and other opportunities. I have been watching Jason's content who is very knowledgeable. I have found this to be incredibly helpful for my decision making.

I was truly impressed by Goeff and Amanda’s prompt responses and excellent follow-up. I also really appreciated the friendly and firm proffessional approach and helping us (as novices) to understand insurance and investing better, which made the whole experience smooth and reassuring.
Amanda was a star! She went out of her way to help me (a brand new client) short-notice with an insurance claim that ended up being approved in full.

We invested a substantial sum on the advice of our advisor at Holborn. We were told it was protected should anything go wrong. An email out of the blue informed us the scheme (Godwin Capital No 8 Limited) in which we were advised to invest was going into administration. Since then we have been told in fact the investment was not protected and we stand now to lose all of our investment.
Our advisor reacted by telling us he was 'in a bad place over this' but not to worry as we would get it all back. No apology and nothing from Holborn and no understanding of our and our families devastation. Not a word from Holborn.
Incidentally I understand Holborn do not call their staff 'Financial advisors' but 'introducers'.
Please be careful of these people. Invest at your peril.

Holborn had me invest in several unregulated products without calling my attention on the true risk involved with such products. They actually downplayed the risk by showing glossy brochures pretending the investments were secured against physical properties, etc.
Now, all companies they had me invest into via « secured » loan notes went into administration and the Administrator reports are clearly stating that investors like me and thousands of others were actually not secured against anything. Money flew from one SPV to another without any control, in spite of the trustee supposed control.
All the money invested is now lost and Holborn just keep silent. No support at all to their customers. They just let us figure things out while it’s now obvious that they has us invest in scams and Ponzi kind of products.
This company, really, cannot call themselves wealth advisors. Stay away.
I have found Holborn Assets to provide transparent and clear information, prompt responses and up to the minute guidance. I can highly recommend them.

On time, prepared with good and complete information.
Attentive and open to answer questions or comments.
Typically Team M at Holborn answer my questions or requests within minutes and it has never been more than an hour.
I have absolutely no hesitation in using them.

I have lost all the money I invested on the advice of Holborn Assets.
I initially made contact with a Wealth Manager from Holborn Assets in Spain for investment advice. After all the usual onboarding and questions to establish my objectives and risk tolerance, they made an investment recommendation but I did not invest.
3 months later their Wealth Manager contacted me with details of the Godwin Capital No.8 property bond. I quote from their email:
"2-year fixed income investment opportunity – a corporate bond"
"Secured with a debenture and a first legal charge – equal to a bank’s security"
"Fully FCA Authorized Bluewater Capital act as security trustee for clients"
"There is no other opportunity in the market where you can get these kinds of returns, without the risk of being exposed to the stock markets."
I am not a legal or financial expert and honestly I have no idea what a debenture is, but I (foolishly) trusted the advice of their Wealth Manager. He knew my financial situation and risk profile as I had already completed all the questionnaires. He assured me that this was a low risk investment, 100% asset backed meaning that the money was going into buying physical property which could be used to repay investors if things went wrong.
It turns out this was a complete lie. It was in fact a very high risk investment which should never have been recommended or sold to me, or many of the other people who have also lost their money. I would never have put a penny into it had I known the truth.
Godwin Capital No.8, along with several other Godwin Capital companies, went into administration in June 2025. The administrators are still investigating but have discovered that the investments were not secured as we were promised, Godwin Capital No.8 has no assets of any real value and there is about £160M owed to creditors. There seems very little chance that investors will get any of their money back.
Holborn Capital have failed to do their due diligence on how this investment was really structured before selling it to their clients. They have mis-sold this very high risk investment to unsuitable clients, telling them it was secure and low risk. I deeply regret I ever made contact with Holborn Assets.
