Thank you

Thank you, Rathbones Edinburgh

I am grateful to Rathbones Edinburgh for their sensible all-round advice and to Justin Armet for the civilised way in which he can be relied on to provide it. When it comes to just in time delivery of what I need to know, Justin's your man!

The culture of the company is good

I was originally with Investec and was very pleased with their culture. Now they have merged with Rathbones and I haven't noticed any adverse changes. That culture involves a personal approach, getting to know each client, their situation financially and family-wise. Of course what matters in the end is what they can deliver in returns and so far that has not disappointed. They also offer advice on what to do about issues like gifting to family members and so on which are very important. I have dealt mainly with Hector Falconer and Douglas Spence and would thoroughly recommend their people-first approach. It gives me confidence that they put their emphasis on what is in the clients best interests

AAA Client Service

My wife and I have had the majority of our investments managed by Rathbones (and Investec before the merger) for almost 10 years and they have performed consistently well (despite the 2008 GFC and CoViD).
Hector Falconer and his team leader Douglas Spence have at all times been pro-active, user friendly and kept us fully updated. Never at anytime have we felt left "in the dark" and our client experience has been excellent.

My client experience with Rathbones

My longstanding historic asset managers in Edinburgh are now successfully part of the larger Rathbones group but with the same personnel (Ross Middleton and his team) looking after my client account. Rathbones give excellent advice, always carefully tailored to my individual needs. I feel very confident that Ross and the Rathbones staff know my circumstances and make sound decisions about my investments. I am very pleased with their performance as asset managers.

My wife and I have dealt with Keith McKenzie for many years. We are constantly delighted by the time and energy that Keith devotes to advising us regarding our portfolio and interpreting the complex world in which our investments must be managed. He brings a clear understanding of our circumstances and risk profile to every conversation.

Stephen Hunter and his Edinburgh team

Stephen Hunter and his team at Rathbones have managed my investments for the last six years now and thanks to his strategy the value is now in excess of the amount originally invested, despite my regular withdrawals! Even though we only meet once a year I know that if I have any concerns at all he and the team are only an email / message away, which is particularly reassuring. Thank you.

Consistently helpful over many years

Rathbones has managed my own and my family's portfolios for many years. Stephen Hunter has been consistently helpful over the years, and has always been considered and balanced in his advice. My contact with him has been very professional, but with a leavening of informality and dry humour, never inappropriately.

After a sudden bereavement over twenty years ago, I was fortunate to have had the help and support of Stephen Hunter and the Rathbones Edinburgh team. Whoever you contact responds immediately and effectively, and Stephen regularly contacts me to discuss my portfolio, advising professionally and patiently.

The Rathbone's Experience

I found Rathbone's approach to be professional with a personal touch. This makes a difference. Well done Keith Mackenzie on that. They keep me in touch with market trends and how they are responding to a complex investment market. I have only been with Rathbones for a relatively short time but I like what I see and what I am experiencing.
