Exceptional service

The level of attention and care that Alison Maillardet-O'Neill has exercised in managing my portfolio over the years has always been exceptional.
My preference of investment area has been respected on all occasions and beneficial advice offered frequently. The annual reports sent out, along with Alison's commentary, give a very clear picture of where things stand and our annual meetings allow discussion of options in more depth.
I am very happy with the arrangement and the relationship it has engendered.

Rathbones is reliable

I've been with Rathbones for just over a year now and have been extremely pleased with the service provided. Hector Falconer, my fund manager, has always been a reliable point of contact when I would like something explained or I have a query. He has shown a real interest in my plans for the future has made an effort to explain how Rathbones can help me achieve them.
Regular communication from Douglas Spence also means that I am well-informed about the current market trends and movements.
Would highly recommend.

Watson Family Trust

Justin Armet and the Rathbones Edinburgh team have managed our family trust for almost 20 years. Not only has the trust performed really well but the team's information communication, efficiency and helpful and friendly attitude has been excellent. Highly recommended.

Satisfied customer for decades

Like many others who have written reviews, Rathbones and its predecessors have managed my family's portfolio for decades. Fenella Maclean, our longstanding adviser, retired and her shoes have been ably filled by Alison Maillardet-O'Neill in the Edinburgh office who knows us well and, together with Andy Price, has given us very helpful personalised advice.

My family and I have been with Rathbones for many years now, after my parents death i was alone in trying to navigate a world i did not understand. A meeting at Rathbones followed, where i was introduced to Euan MacDonald who now manages my portfolio brilliantly. He is extremely professional, kind, and dedicated to achieving the absolute best results for my investments. Euan has always gone out of his way to explain the things i don't understand. His advice and guidance is second to none. Thank you Euan.

Very pleased with Rathbones

Iain Curry of Rathbones has been actively managing the investments in my SIPP since 2018. Over that time I have had excellent service from Iain with regular communication and reviews. My investments have performed very well over the last 8 years (including the Covid years). I have found Rathbones to be very helpful and informative, with a dynamic and sound investment strategy, and very useful updates. Overall I am very pleased with Rathbones.

My dad was a client of Rathbones for many years and spoke really highly of Iain Currie. When my dad passed away Iain helped my mum organise my dad's portfolio and gave great advice and lots of time . After a few years he is still helping and making sure her needs are met . He now advises myself and brothers as well as my mum and I have always found him to be very professional and knowledgeable and patient and would recommend him to anyone who is not used to dealing with shares and investments as he makes time to explain.

Professionalism with a human touch!

Over a long number of years and through changing and at times challenging circumstance the care and attention we have received has been constant. Clare Gunn and her colleague Rory Donelly have continued that tradition of professionalism, wisdom and sound advice, all given in the clearest and approachable way. It is a real reassurance to know that the portfolio is in such safe hands.
