I have been trying to get a valuation update on the money they manage for me for five years! No one responds to me since my prior relationship manager decided to retire five years ago. It is absolutely heart wrenching that they are controlling my hard earned pension money and ignoring me for so long. I will never get to see this money and that is totally unfair and extremely sad for me. Please be careful.

Holborn Assets mis selling of Godwin Capital No. 8 Loan notes.
Holborn Assets were heavily involved in selling Godwin Capilal loan notes. They took in millions from many clients before Godwin went into receivership and the clients they sold the loan notes to lost all their money. Before investing any money with Holborn you must read the latest article by Russell Pollard published in the Derby news which outlines the whole murky business of this mis selling and Holborn Assets and their advisors part in it. From experience I can confirm much of what Russell Pollard has found out as true. Holborn Assets are not a company you should trust with your money as I have found out.
Holborn has ruined our lives. We trusted their qualified advice and recommendations for our life savings investment believing they had done the sufficient background checks on the companies they were advising on (they said they had in written communication) but clearly had not. All our money and many other people we are in touch with is gone. There was assurances and communications to say Godwin Capital No8 was an insured scheme backed by first legal charges and debentures, ll lies and the work of Godwin fraudsters whom Holborn Assets just belived what they were told. This is a warning, do not trust Holborn Assets with your money, you will loose it.
I would highly recommend this company and especially Guillermo Martorell. He is a brilliant professional who will provide excellent advice on your investment

I have been client with Holborn for a few years now, but mainly because of Mr.
Guillermo Martorell. His dedication and professionalism are outstanding. He is the main reason I have my investments looked after by Holborn

Thank you to Sahqub Ali for his help on surrendering my policy. When I hit a few problems with the payment company for Holborn, he came to my rescue and went overboard with great assistance.
Great help with all the paperwork required I highly rate Ali to help you with any investments you may need.

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.
The facilitator was knowledgable and he patiently attended to the questions of participants.

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.
