Excellent communication and accessible advice
Rathbones have been managing my portfolio for the last 3.5 years, and I'm extremely happy with the level of service received. My investment director, Freddie Blunden, is readily available should I have any queries or concerns regarding any investments and is always happy to talk through the investment strategy. My portfolio is reviewed regularly to ensure it is meeting my personal requirements and quarterly valuation packs are accessed through the excellent client portal. Despite the uncertain economic landscape over the last 3.5 years, my portfolio is achieving its objectives, and having Freddie and his team actively managing investments is sufficiently reassuring to warrant the fees.

Rathbones five stars
I have had my modest portfolio of shares with Rathbones for a number of years - through good times and bad - and have always found them easy to deal with.
I have been with Freddie Blunden for over three years and we have built up a friendly relationship through regular meetings and discussions. I am impressed by his knowledge and enthusiasm and have no concerns about trusting his judgement.
