Satisfied clients

We have been with Rathbones for over four years now, our account being managed by Cameron Pollock.
We are more than happy with the service. Cameron is regularly in touch with us and on the occasions we have met to review our portfolio, we have been both impressed and reassured by his advice.
Our investments have endured the turbulence of the last few years and prospered, eloquent of his expertise in managing our funds.
We have no hesitation whatsoever in commending Cameron to any future clients of the company.

Rathbones Investment Portfolios

I feel very fortunate to have my investment portfolio managed by Diana Hofmann who I can’t praise highly enough.
Diana is utterly professional in all that she does and also very personable.
She is quick and efficient in getting things done and I have complete trust in her making financial decisions on my behalf.
It is always a pleasure dealing with her and I look forward to any opportunity we get to discuss where everything is at.

Diana Hofmann

I cannot rate Diana Hofmann highly enough!
Diana is responsible for my elderly mum’s portfolio (which is operated under Power of Attorney) and in spite of world volatility continues to grow!).
Diana is approachable and smart, she is quick to respond and I trust her…
it’s tough being an Attorney to an elderly relative but Diana is always there to support and guide. I would not hesitate to recommend her !

review from Jane Wood

We were with Russell Crichton at Spiers and Jeffrey for some years before moving to Stephen Hall at Rathbones on Russell's retirement. Fortunately Russell suggested Stephen as our new fund manager and we could't have been luckier with his choice. Stephen is always on hand to explain any points in simple language for me and keeps in regular contact as well which I find one of the more important aspects. Quite apart from skilful mangement of my account.

Stellar Service

We have been with Rathbones (previously Speirs & Jeffrey) for over twenty years. Gordon Winship has been our investment manager throughout and we have always found him extremely professional and efficient. In volatile and turbulent markets he has always assisted us to navigate our way through, making time for meetings and follow-up calls. We have recommended Rathbones to friends and family for the continued positive results and excellent service.

We were lucky to find Angus Kerr at Rathbones through a friends reccomendation for investment advice.
As micice investors, Angus (and his very competent team) were ideal for us. Since that time in 2018 we have been more than confident and satisfied with the entire service provided by Rathbones. As a result we were happy to move more investments over to them last year. Despite challenging world events we have been delighted with the performance of all aspects.
Angus and his friendly, helpful and VRRY patient team have been exactly what we were looking for as a family to plan for the future.

Investing with Rathbones

I have invested in various Scottish investment companies for some 40 years. I am a great believer in that it is the individuals that make these investments successful more so than the companies themselves. Over the years I have been able to stay loyal to the "team" that have supported me and as they have evolved their careers and have moved companies to increase their knowledge, work around take-overs or even face retirement(!) I have moved seamlessly with them. Recently my long term contact at Rathbones came for to his retirement but, before this time he had made sure that I was used to dealing with others within his team so when he eventually left total and trustworthy continuity was maintained. Obviously they are ably assisted by the backroom support services within Rathbones and as a "total" package I would unhesitatingly recommend the company to other individuals looking for someone to manage their investments.

Rathbones a 5* experience

My 93 year old mum has had her investments with Rathbones for a few years. Recently I have been helping her with her financial accounts as her power of attorney. Despite me being unfamiliar with my mum's investments, I have been made to feel very welcomed and trusted among the Rathbones staff, in particular Christopher Johnstone. He has always taken extra efforts to explain mum's investments and how these are maturing and how to use her funds wisely so that mum can stay in her own home and receive the care that she needs at home. This has been a very positive experience and a learning curve for me. Christopher has been careful to explain every step of the investment procedure with me and gives positive guidance at every step of the way, I also much appreciate the extra benefits from Rathbones as they offer fascinating webinars for the uninitiated. Most grateful to see the financial markets from a wider perspective. I would heartily recommend them to any prospective client.

Rathbones review

Rathbones have been very professional and very easy to talk to when dealing with an 80+ year old who has little financial know how. I have been treated with respect and have found Cameron Pollock, and his team, extremely helpful in a period of adjustment after the death of my husband.

We had some money to invest

We had some money to invest about eight years ago, and were put in touch with Angus Kerr and Julie Smith in Rathbone's Glasgow Office. Together they helped us develop a strategy which would safeguard our investment and allow it to grow in line with our aspiations. Despite the turbulant times we have been through we are pleased that our investment has performed as we had hoped and that is down to our excellent working relationship with Angus and Julie. We would have no hesitation in recommending them to any potential investor.

Our family has been a client of Rathbones Glasgow for well over ten years and have always felt well advised and supported with decisions. Angela Smith, our advisor, is always extremely helpful and happy to explain (and re-explain in another way if necessary) strategies, products and anything we are not sure of. Investments have done well and we feel that we’re in a safe pair of hands.
