I was assisted by gentleman named Christopher Bowler. He was extremely helpful and has a remarkable ability to explain the complicated finances in layman's terms so that even I could understand it completely. Also went out of his way to accommodate me at meetings that matched my schedule even though we had a 7 hr time difference between us. Highly recommended

I wanted to share the latest developments regarding our ongoing engagement with Skybound. Unfortunately, as of November 2023, there has been no tangible progress in resolving the issues we've been facing since 2019 and beyond. The predicament revolves around a catastrophic investment advice, lack of accountability for substantial losses, and a disconcerting absence of communication from Skybound—our only updates have come via a law firm in the Isle of Wight, long after our funds were liquidated.
This ordeal, which spans several years, is complex and absurd. While Skybound continues to make promises of resolution, their actions remain absent. I've diligently followed their Complaints process for years, as instructed in their sporadic emails, yet there has been no response or action from Skybound. The situation is compounded by their lack of transparency and accountability, leaving us in a state of financial uncertainty and high frustration.
Despite sporadic interactions with Simon, who has been responsive and pleasant, it is evident that his influence does not extend to upper management or the Compliance/Complaints department—personified by the recurring frustration and lack of diligence displayed by the head of compliance (same person who was in charge back in the GWM days)
In summary, the overall experience with Skybound has been nothing short of a disaster, characterized by a glaring absence of ethical direction. The only silver lining is Simon's positive demeanor, but unfortunately, it falls short of impacting the broader issues at hand.
If you're contemplating an investment with Skybound, I urge you to reconsider. Instead, consider redirecting those funds towards a charitable cause. This not only avoids contributing to Skybound's questionable practices but also brings joy and support to those in need, steering clear of lining Skybound's pockets.
In conclusion, I strongly advise against investing with Skybound. It's time to take a step back and reassess our financial choices before committing to a path that may lead to nowhere but losses.
I have been with Skybound Wealth Management for a number of years. My advisor, Mr. Simon Athwal, has been a a great help and support especially during the time of investments during the pandemic. I get regular updates from him and we meet twice yearly for a review of policies.

Poor communication. Happy to take their fees but with no portfolio management. Allowed my investment to lose almost 40% with no intervention.

I'm glad to have contacted Skybound for help with my financials for exiting Switzerland. Matthew Turnbull is very professional and knowledgeable. I really appreciate the honest and transparent financial advice that Matthew provided me. I didn't feel stressed in any way to take on any of Skybound financial solutions. On the operational side, Mark Flanagan always had his eyes on the ball for timely execution. Big thanks to Matthew and Mark !!

All interactions with Skybound Wealth Management facilitated by Kieran Tween were very professional. The presentation of the financial advise provided by Kieran was truly impressive!

I would have not even bothered writing a review but skybound wealth keep hassling me about my investment. I looked on website reviews and they are all 5 stars. I can only imagines they have been left by the friends and family of skybound wealth. For me the whole investment thing was a bit of a mummer's farce. I can only describe it as imagining you had two uncles visiting your house. 1. Uncle skybound wealth/uncle jimmy saville and 2. Uncle guardian wealth/ uncle rolf harris. Either way they seemed alright at the beginning but in the end violated you financially.

The regular market news is good. Overall i'm happy with the service provided.
I find the regular reviews really helpful and the podcast is a nice new addition. Would be good to hear from some people outside of finance though imo

Since the first contact Kieran Tween made, he acts very professional. His personality seems to be a very energetic and positive person. The way how he introduced Skybound was very professional. He is very open minded, and I was very comfortable to work with him. All questions were answered and also everything about the company was explained carefully to me. Hope we will work together for the next couple of years.

Jake Murphy is amazing, he took the time to explain the entire process, did a thorough analysis of my financial position and offered me a variety of options. He basically took control of my future. He is always on time for review sessions and offers the best advise. I wish i had met him earlier

Would recommend him to any person planning for retirement funds or investment portfolios
