Rathbones - Bournemouth Reviews 

We have known and trusted Rob's advice and guidance for some decades now - he (and his team) have always delivered strong results but, as importantly to us, he has become a personal friend...he is caring, calm, patient, knowledgeable and never minds being asked a dumb question (plus he has a great sense of humour!). I'd happily recommend Rob and his team.

Rob Jones of Investec (now Rathbones) has been our family financial investment consultant for many years. We have been very happy with the growth of our portfolios, and more latterly with the help of Amanda Cook, our pensions. Rob is always happy to spend time explaining issues that we do not understand and he sets out our agreed investment strategy clearly, always based on our chosen risk levels . We would not hesitate to recommend Rob Jones and his team.

My parents have been very happy clients of Investec (now Rathbones) for over 25 years, and I’ve been equally pleased since investing 6 years ago. Our account manager, Darren Elmes, is very approachable and highly skilled at working our portfolio of investments. I’m delighted with my return of 28.40% in the past 3 years and 11.10% in the past year. Thank you Darren :)

My family has been associated with the company and its predecessors for many years and I have had annual meetings with Will Thomas since 2019. He is very approachable whatever the queries, totally understands the requirements of myself and family from my portfolio and is knowledgeable about areas for which I require input. Thank you

Investment Director Will Thomas has been servicing my portfolio for many years, firstly with Investec and now with Rathbones. In all that time I have received regular updates together with an overview of market influences and an in depth annual review. I have complete confidence that my investment is well cared for and performs extremely well. Will is easy to make contact with should I need help or advice and I know my investment is in a safe pair of hands

My current advisor Darren Elmes has looked after my investments for over 25 years. Originally he was with Barclays, then Investec and moved to Rathbones.

Given Darren's excellent advice and patience when markets wobble, he has kept my investments on a steady path which is why I moved with him from his previous company.

The move from Investec to Rathbones had a few technical glitches but Darren was onto them straight away resolving my queries and regaining my trust. He and his assistant are always on hand and with patience should I need to chat through any thoughts.

Given my previous Banking and Finance career, I expect a professional service and respect Darren's views.

An excellent and Trustworthy advisor, thank you.

Given the political and world economy, I have been pleased with how my investments have performed at a time when there is considerable worldwide uncertainty. My contact at Rathbones is Investment Director, Will Thomas and I have always found him to be very approachable and able to explain investment decisions in a clear and concise way.

Most importantly, we have been given good advice over the years and have confidence that the portfolio and pension are in safe hands.

We first met Darren Elmes many years ago, as a member of another financial service providers' team and were so satisfied with his support and advice that we have followed him through changes of location and company to the present day and Rathbones.
