Our specialist capabilities

Our services

Managed service

Provides clients with access to a dedicated investment manager who will invest in a range of ready-made, diversified multi-asset portfolios managed by Rathbones Asset Management (RAM). 

Select

We can deliver our financial planning services to clients in one of the following ways:

  • Initial advice, which could be delivered as a one-off service
  • Ongoing advice and planning.

Complementary services

As a licensed deposit taker we are able to offer our clients a range of banking services including currency and payment services, fixed interest term deposits and loans to existing clients. 

We are now able to offer SIPP administration services to clients.
