We have been awarded the 2022 Suggestus 3D Award from Asset Risk Consultants (ARC) due to our ongoing commitment to transparency, engagement and integrity.

Defaqto
We have achieved and retained the maximum Defaqto 5 Star Ratings for our Wealth Management Service and Managed Portfolio Service for the eleventh consecutive year, whilst our Platform Managed Portfolio Service has been 5 Star Rated since the inception of Defaqto’s DFM MPS on Platform Rating category in 2014. We are one of only three discretionary fund managers (DFMs) to achieve the top rating in three DFM categories during this 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 have established strong relationships with many third-party providers over the years, including fund houses, platforms and back-office administration and CRM systems.
These relationships allow us to provide you and your clients with the:
Back-office administration and CRM systems
We integrate with back-office administration and CRM systems to assist you in the holistic management of your clients’ portfolios.
The ability to feed client portfolio data, either via web portal or secure FTP, directly to your systems can help reduce administrative costs and facilitates the monitoring of portfolio performance and activity.
We currently work with the following back-office administration and CRM systems:
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.
Our experienced business development team are here to provide you with further information on our services, support you through the due diligence process for new clients and to help answer any queries you may have for existing clients.
