Trusted by generations to deliver

From humble beginnings in the 1700s to the FTSE-listed Rathbones you see today, our motivation is simple: to help more people invest well, so they can live well.

Proud of our past, excited for the future

Read about our story

We started life as a family-run timber merchant, and by 1912 focused solely on managing our clients’ wealth. Today, we’re a top 3 UK wealth manager, with over 20 offices across the UK and Channel Islands.

We're also proud to support our wider community through initiatives like the Rathbones Group Foundation. 
Our story is still being written – and we’re excited to help our clients shape theirs too.

We always go one step further

Read about our purpose

Doing the right thing is about more than results – it’s part of who we are.
It’s reflected in the one-step-further service we provide from day one and beyond. Making clients’ lives easier today is just as important as delivering great results tomorrow.


It’s also shown in the way we invest – with integrity – integrating responsible investing principles into our process for decades. And because we believe others should benefit from our success too, we donate a percentage of our pre-tax profits through the Rathbones Group Foundation.

By your side on your journey

See who we help

We look after individuals, families, and charities – providing services that include financial planning, investment management, and specialist trust advice. We also support financial advisers with investment solutions, funds and portfolio services – helping them deliver great outcomes for their own clients.


The sound business decisions we make aims to deliver consistent value for our shareholders - as well as strengthen the trust that clients have in us.

The relationships we build mean everything to us

See how we support our colleagues

We take time to get to know our clients personally – then deliver a holistic plan and support that’s built around them. The successful relationships we build often last across generations.


Putting people first is just as important inside Rathbones. We aim to be an inspiring workplace for our colleagues – creating an inclusive and nurturing culture. Through Rathbones Inspire, and supporting organisations like GAIN and Future Asset, we’re also passionate about supporting tomorrow’s wealth creators, today.
