The Group’s first office in Portugal, at Quinta do Lago in the Algarve, will give its growing Portuguese client base a local home for cross-border financial planning and marks the next stage of its European growth.
Skybound Wealth, the global wealth advisory brand of the Skybound Wealth Management Group, has announced the forthcoming opening of a Portuguese branch of Skybound Insurance Brokers Ltd, the Group’s Cyprus-licensed insurance intermediary. The branch will be based at Quinta do Lago, near Almancil in the central Algarve.
The Group already works with a growing number of clients based in Portugal. The new branch gives them, and the people who join them, a permanent local base. It follows the model Skybound has built in Spain, where it announced its move in December 2025 and now serves clients from offices in Mijas and Barcelona, and will be the Group’s third new location in southern Europe in little more than a year. The office is expected to open to clients in December, once the remaining requirements have been completed.
Portugal has become one of Europe’s most popular destinations for internationally mobile professionals, retirees and families: retirees drawing pensions built up elsewhere, professionals working remotely for employers abroad, entrepreneurs with businesses in more than one country, and families who have chosen to put down roots in a new place without cutting ties with the old one.
The Algarve sits at the centre of that story. It is home to one of the most established international communities in southern Europe, with a large British and northern European population spread along the coast from Lagos to Tavira and inland to the hills. Quinta do Lago, near Almancil, is at the heart of it: the stretch of coast between Faro and Vilamoura often called the Golden Triangle is home to some of the most settled international residents in the country. For many of the people who live here, financial life does not stop at one border, and the arrangements they rely on were often set up in another country, years ago, for a different life.
Skybound already looks after many of them. A local office changes how that relationship works: face-to-face conversations with people who live in the same place and know the same questions, backed by a Group that can look across every jurisdiction a client is connected to.
The Portuguese branch follows the model Skybound has built in Spain over the past year. The Group announced its move into Spain in December 2025, opened its Mijas office on the Costa del Sol in May 2026 and added a Barcelona office in October 2026. Each location combines local leadership with the Group’s central compliance, operations and technology teams, so that standards stay consistent wherever clients are based.
Portugal is the next market to get that model, and it reflects a deliberate approach: regulated local presence, backed by global infrastructure, built one market at a time. Alongside the UK, Switzerland, Cyprus and Spain, it gives the Group a presence in five European countries.
Commenting on the announcement, Peter Gollogly, Regional Director, said:
“An office in Portugal is a natural next step for us. We already look after a growing number of clients here, and in less than a year we have gone from announcing our entry into Spain to serving clients from two Spanish offices. Quinta do Lago extends that same model across the border: local presence, local knowledge, and the full backing of the Group behind it.
Our clients in Portugal are rarely dealing with one country. Their pensions sit in the UK, their families are spread across Europe and beyond, and their plans need to work across all of it. Southern Europe is now a serious, multi-market growth region for Skybound, and Portugal is a central part of how we are building our presence across Europe.”
Through the Skybound Wealth Management Group, clients in Portugal will have access to a broad range of services, including:
Our services are supported by Skybound’s proprietary Plume Wealth Tech platform, including MoneyMap and the Skybound client app, giving clients a clear view of their financial plan wherever they are. Whether a client already lives in the Algarve, is planning a move to Portugal or holds property or other assets in the country from abroad, the team will be able to work with them in person or remotely, supported by the Group’s international network.
The Quinta do Lago office is being built on the same foundations as the Group’s Spanish offices: qualified, technically capable advisers working within a regulated, planning-led framework, with central compliance, operations and technology teams behind them so they can focus on clients.
Mark Kinally, Private Wealth Adviser, is based in the Algarve and will be part of the team supporting clients from Quinta do Lago. He brings 20 years’ experience in wealth management, with previous roles at St. James’s Place, RBC Wealth Management, Merrill Lynch and Barclays Wealth International. Having relocated to Portugal with his family, he has first-hand experience of the questions clients face when they move.
Mark Kinally, Private Wealth Adviser, added:
“Having moved to the Algarve with my family, I know how many questions arrive with the boxes. What happens to my UK pension? Where am I tax resident this year? How do I make sure my family is protected across two countries? People here want those answers from someone who understands both sides.
For a long time many people in the Algarve have had to rely on arrangements set up back home or on providers a long way away. A regulated local presence, with the Group’s resources behind it, changes that. We are building something at Quinta do Lago rather than stepping into an established office, and that is an exciting place to start.”
The Quinta do Lago office is expected to open to clients in December, once the remaining requirements have been completed, with a programme of client and partner events planned to mark the launch. Further details, including the local team, will be announced at opening. The expansion is part of a wider European expansion, as the Group continues to invest in regulated local presence backed by global infrastructure.
The announcement follows a year of strong progress for the Group, including being 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.
Skybound’s Portuguese presence operates through the Portuguese branch of Skybound Insurance Brokers Ltd. The company is a Cyprus-licensed insurance intermediary regulated by the Insurance Companies Control Service (ICCS), with the Autoridade de Supervisão de Seguros e Fundos de Pensões (ASF) as host state regulator in Portugal.
The branch is established under the EU rules that allow an intermediary authorised in one member state to operate in another, and Skybound Insurance Brokers Ltd is listed on ASF’s register of EU intermediaries operating in Portugal through a branch. It is a branch of the existing Cyprus company rather than a new Portuguese company, follows the local conduct requirements that apply in Portugal, and is supported by the Group’s centralised governance framework and proprietary planning technology, which is how Skybound keeps its standards consistent wherever clients are based.
Individuals and families in the Algarve and across Portugal can register their interest and arrange an initial conversation with the team through www.skyboundwealth.com. The full address and local contact details will be published when the office opens.
