Black Swan

Part of the Shackleton Group

Black Swan

In July 2024 Skerritts (one of the co-founders of Shackleton) announced the purchase of Black Swan Financial Planning. Skerritts, now Shackleton, is headquartered in London and is a Chartered financial adviser and wealth manager.

The acquisition of Black Swan enhances Shackleton’s presence in London, as the Black Swan team is now part of the wider London team, bringing their expertise and experience into the business.

In March 2021, Sovereign Capital Partners, a UK private equity Buy & Build specialist, completed a significant investment in Skerritts, now Shackleton, worth £55 million to develop the business through a strategy of organic and acquisitive growth, which has seen the addition of new offices in Chester, Kent, Hampshire, Surrey, Yorkshire, Scotland and London.

Paul Feeney, CEO of Shackleton:

“I am pleased to welcome Paul and his team of talented staff to the our Group. Together, we will uphold our commitment to deliver financial freedom to the people of Britain”.
