Benchmarks at Rathbones
The benchmarks from 1 July 2025
For sterling-based portfolios, we have six composite Benchmarks which correspond to each of our investment strategies. The Benchmarks are comprised of equities, bonds and cash and reflect the risk level you have agreed with your investment manager. The Benchmarks are constructed using market indices. For example, for sterling-based investors with an allocation to UK equities, we use the FTSE All Share Index and for overseas equities, we use the FTSE All World ex UK Index. The weightings of the representative indices within each Benchmark vary according to the portfolio risk level.
The purpose of the Benchmarks is to provide clients with a meaningful and appropriate measure against which the performance of their portfolios can be evaluated and compared, and our ongoing investment management can be assessed.
We assign a primary benchmark to each portfolio.
The Benchmarks are reported on a gross basis, and do not account for any fees relating to investment management, the underlying investments held, tax considerations or your personal circumstances. Any variance may be discussed with your Investment Manager.
Please see the table below for details of the representative indices for each asset type and their weightings within each of the Benchmarks.
Benchmarks for euro- and dollar-based portfolios are also available. Please speak to your Investment Manager for more information.
