I engaged Chris at Galileo Wealth in 2013 to help with my retirement plans. From the start Chris explained the options and built a client-first plan with clear goals. Over the years the original value of my portfolio has risen by 33%. Risk management has been disciplined and and Chris’s response to the market has been quick and effective. The Galileo mindset has earned my trust, inspires confidence and has delivered my goals in my retirement as illustrated below

I have recently contacted Galileo Wealth after reviewing their webpage to enquire about some of their services. Chis Hall immediately replied to my request and offered me a free of charge call to see if he can be of help to me. Thanks to his good network of international contacts he was able to refer me to one of his partners which offered me further advice. Now I have much more clarity about my situation.

Chris Hall was really helpful. My situation is not run-of-the-mill because I now live in a tax haven, so everything I Googled didn't fit my circumstances and was very confusing. Chris gave a prompt answer and clarified everything. Thank you.

Chris and his team did a fantastic job sorting out my UK pension. I live in France and felt lost after my previous investment manager told me he couldn't look after me anymore due to Brexit but Chris put my mind at ease and did a great job of taking over the reigns!

I am happy to write this review as Chris has been my financial adviser for the past 10 years. Galileo Wealth has continually offered a friendly, informative and professional service throughout this time in what I have since learned is a highly regulated financial service requiring at times, personnel with the necessary knowledge and background to ensure the level of service required.
