Rathbones were recommended to me by a trusted colleague. I had previously entrusted my pension investments to a competitor company but was ready to change direction and I’m so glad I made the change to Rathbones.
An introduction meeting in Edinburgh was set up where I met my Rathbones Investment Manager Stephen Hunter. At this time I was impressed by the professionalism and financial integrity displayed. This made it an easy decision to switch the management of my funds to Rathbones.
Rathbones provide regular and detailed financial updates to ensure you are well informed at all times.
What I really appreciate is the ease of communication and personable nature that is displayed by Stephen and his colleagues at Rathbones. Their financial skills and management convince me that I have made a wise and hopefully life long commitment to successful financial planning and investment

Rathbones (Edinburgh) have been excellent
Rathbones (Edinburgh) have been managing my investments for years. About 9 years ago, Euan MacDonald took over as my investment manager. I wouldn't have thought to review such a service but after a recent meeting, it got me thinking of the excellent service I have been receiving for years.
I am really pleased with how Rathbones actively manage my investments and Euan updates me with what they are doing and why. The expertise and knowledge certainly puts me at ease knowing my investments are in safe hands. They do exactly what is right for me as they take the time to find out what the best investment strategy is for me. Even in volatile economic times over the years for the country, I have never worried as I trust what they are doing and so far so good. Thank you Euan.
