Supporting you when it matters
We understand that undertaking due diligence on a discretionary fund manager (DFM) is a critical part of your advice process. To support you, we provide a range of core documents, third-party assessments, and independent research tools to help you assess our investment proposition with confidence.
Below, you will find each resource available for download, alongside a clear explanation of how it supports your due diligence process.
Rathbones Intermediary Due Diligence Document
We have created a due diligence questionnaire (DDQ) that provides you with information on our company and how we work with you, our investment services and processes, a section on our range of products and services, client administration, compliance and systems and service providers.
AKG Financial Strength Assessment
We are rated B+ by AKG for our ongoing financial resilience and ability to service your clients, amongst the highest of any major discretionary fund manager. AKG is an independent organisation specialising in the provision of assessment, ratings, information and consultancy to the financial services industry.
Suggestus DFM Annual DDQ
Suggestus is a free information resource for the investing public, charities and professional wealth advisers. The platform provides a comprehensive directory of standardised investment manager due diligence reports which use question sets informed by ARC‘s long history of evaluating investment providers on behalf of investors and their advisers.
Are you looking for something more bespoke?
Not a problem, we work with DD|hub to enable you to select the question set that is of most interest to you.
Use our DD|hub tool to create your own bespoke report based on the service you are most interested in:
- Bespoke
- Rathbones MPS
- Rathbone Multi-Asset Portfolios (Core)
- Specialist Tax Portfolio Service (STPS)
With DD|hub, you can either select your own questions to focus on or use pre-built question sets, with the results delivered promptly in either Excel or PDF for easy review.
Research tools and comparison platforms
In addition to downloadable reports, many advisers use third-party research tools to validate their due diligence and compare providers across the market.
