It's been a good experience with Rathbones

We've been with Rathbones (prev. Investec) since retirement on the recommendation of a friend and colleague. Since then, Nicola McMurray has been looking after our interests with a clear explanation of the current position and our options, and very capable and prompt in tailoring and adapting the portfolio to changing circumstances. We appreciate the personal attention too.

A very successful SIPP

Investec advised me on setting up a self-invested pension plan (SIPP) in 2017 and continue to manage it for me as Rathbones. It has been incredibly successful, and I'm really grateful to Nicola McMurray and her colleagues for the very personalised advice I continue to receive.

I am hopeless with money ..

I am hopeless with money ... definitely on the dyscalculia scale. So, I needed someone with infinite patience to advise and explain how to marshal my finances into retirement. Nicola McMurray of Rathbones in Belfast fitted the bill precisely and I am grateful to her for streamlining my affairs and always being on the end of a phone-line when necessary.

Appreciation of necessary guidance !

My wife and I have been clients of Investec for very many years. The changing to Rathbones concerned us initially. This was dispelled when we learned that Marie Ireland would remain our Financial Advisor.
Marie's understanding of our situation coupled with her warm friendly personality means a lot to us both.
I find the Rathbones Website easy to access and very helpful. In the current situation of uncertainties re UK government budget changes it is good to have Rathbones and Marie Ireland.

Rathbones Belfast are exceptional

The help, advice and support from the staff at Rathbones, Belfast, has been exceptional.

John Cubitt could not be more generous with his time, or professional in his approach. I was nervous starting off a few years ago but, have been constantly reassured. The results have been clear to see and very pleasing.

John manages my savings and investments with extreme integrity, knowledgeably and with great care. Nothing is ever too much trouble and he always explains the process and potential pitfalls carefully and thoroughly. There’s a ready smile and a touch of humour to help out too which makes meetings relaxed, yet productive and informative. I have total confidence in him and his team.

I have definitely seen the advantage of having funds managed and have absolutely no hesitation in giving Rathbones, Belfast, and John Cubitt my full recommendation.

Investment management and advice

I act as treasurer and trustee of a charitable trust. Rathbones have provided excellent advice and management of our investment portfolio for many years. We Trustees value the expertise and support in making a valuable return on capital while guiding us on appropriate risk management. Our Investment Director Ryan Cornett is very well regarded and very supportive in understanding our strategy and plans and aligning the investments to best support these aims.
