Defaqto
We have received and retained the maximum Defaqto 5 Star Rating for our Wealth Management Service, Managed Portfolio Service and Platform Managed Portfolio Service over the last six years – one of only three discretionary fund managers to achieve the top rating in three DFM categories during the period.
Defaqto Star Ratings provide an independent assessment of products and service propositions based on the level of features and benefits they offer, combined with relevant provider information – giving each a rating of 1 to 5 to indicate where they are positioned in the market. A 5 Star Rating indicates that a proposition has one of the best quality service offerings in the market, based on the firm’s commitment to the adviser market, the way the proposition is structured and the flexibility it offers.

We are open to working with your chosen supplier should we not already have links with them.
Platforms, SIPPs and offshore bond providers
Many professional advisers choose to use wraps and platforms at the heart of their business to simplify administration and improve efficiency. In recognition of this, we have steadily grown the number of third parties through which our services are available and are looking to grow this further.
We also have active relationships with a broad selection of SIPP and offshore bond providers.
