Skybound Wealth has launched Lumi, a single platform for learning, coaching and development across every part of the Group. It starts with onboarding, essential systems, and technical and client-facing development, with further phases to follow. Specialists inside the business shape the material, and every colleague follows a route based on their role, experience and location.

What this article helps you understand:

  • What Lumi is and who it is for
  • How Lumi will be introduced across the Group
  • How internal specialists will shape and review the learning
  • Where AI supports the platform, and where specialist judgement stays in charge
  • What Lumi means for the Skybound Academy and for careers at Skybound Wealth

Today we are announcing Lumi, our new group-wide learning, coaching and development platform. Lumi brings the expertise across Skybound Wealth into one place, from onboarding and technical training to advisory skills, coaching and leadership development, for every colleague in every market.

With a coordinated delivery, Lumi will be introduced in phases, beginning with onboarding, essential systems, and technical and client-facing development.

Why Lumi

Earlier this year Skybound was named Company of the Year for the third year running at the Investment International Awards 2026, alongside awards for Excellence in Client Service and Excellence in Fintech. Much of our technology, from MoneyMap to the Skybound client app, is built in-house. Lumi brings the same approach to the development of our people.

The name is deliberately short and approachable, something that works in everyday conversation rather than a formal training-programme title. Its identity, Learn · Apply · Grow, describes what it is for: learning that is applied in real client work and that supports a career, not just a course.

Mike Coady, Chief Executive Officer of the Skybound Wealth Management Group, said:

“We have people across Skybound with considerable knowledge, experience and judgement. Lumi is about making more of that expertise available across the Group.

“As we continue to invest in technology and expand our specialist capabilities, we are also investing in the people who make those capabilities valuable to clients. Their development deserves the same attention as any other part of our growth.”

What Lumi Brings Together

  • ‍Structured onboarding, with pathways shaped around each colleague's role, experience and location‍
  • Technical learning across financial planning, investments, pensions, protection and cross-border considerations‍
  • Advisory development, from discovery meetings and client objectives to clear explanations and difficult conversations‍
  • Learning for every role, including client services, administration, operations and leadership‍
  • Coaching and practical assessment, so knowledge is applied, reviewed and built on‍
  • A clearer view of development: pathways, assessments, feedback, training logs and CPD records in one place

An Academy participant, an experienced adviser building a specialism and a colleague preparing for management will each follow a different route, with existing qualifications and experience informing the starting point. Lumi will support every part of the Group, including Women Like Us, Athletes & Creators, Skybound Property & Finance and Global Partners, and the Skybound Academy will retain its identity.

Built Around Our Own Expertise

Internal specialists and experienced practitioners will help shape and review the learning, making useful knowledge available beyond their immediate teams. Expert-led videos, live sessions, discussion and practical exercises will connect knowledge with application, and colleagues will be able to ask questions, share experience and contribute to improving the material.

AI will support the creation and discovery of learning, helping specialists turn approved material into structured resources and helping colleagues find relevant guidance, with learning assistance introduced in phases. Technical owners remain responsible for accuracy, and AI assistance will not replace specialist judgement.

Mike Coady added:

“I want people to see a future for themselves at Skybound Wealth and understand the support available to help them build it. That applies whether they are starting their career or bringing decades of experience.

“A client may never see Lumi. They should feel its value in how well we prepare, how clearly we explain their options and how reliably we follow through.”

Ask Yourself

  • Does your current firm put as much into your development as it does into its technology?
  • Can you see a clear route from where you are now to where you want to be?
  • Is the expertise in your business shared, or does it stay within individual teams?
  • Would your development record show what you can do, or only what you have completed?
