Rathbones Edinburgh - Simon Dewar
Over ten years ago we were looking for a more personal investment service to look after our multiple pension pots and other investments we'd held for some years.
Simon Dewar gave us the confidence to invest with Rathbones and now have a managed portfolio that has continued to perform over the last few years. Even though Simon now runs the Edinburgh office, we meet him regularly to discuss the global financial situation and ensure that the portfolio still meets our needs.
It has been a very good relationship for us.

Meeting with Stephen Hunter and Euan…
Meeting with Stephen Hunter and Euan Macdonald has provided my wife and I tremendous reassurance. We both feel that Stephen and Euan are caring professionals who are truly putting our needs first. From the moment of the meeting onwards I have had a great sense of freedom, security and freed-up mental capacity by passing on my long term investment portfolio decisions to their capable hands. I strongly recommend their services to anyone looking for a secure and trusted investment team. Friendly, kind, professional, reassuring.

Estate advice
I rang Stephen Hunter to get advice on my mother's estate. I felt like I was talking to a dear friend who has known my family over the years. He gave his opinion and it was so nice to hear that I am doing ok with everything and to keep going. Sometimes a friendly voice giving reassurance is just what is needed

Many years with Ross Middleton
My wife and I have looked to Ross Middleton as our financial adviser over more than a dozen years, following him as his employing company has changed. We have always found him both helpful and well informed and reassured by his memory of such issues as my health. Each year we are clear about our financial position and happy that we have agreed our concerns and expectations for the management of our funds over the coming year.

Wonderful service at Rathbones
My family and I have known Alison Maillardet-O’Neill for a number of years now. Over that time, Alison has made a conscious effort to create a deep understanding of our family’s circumstances and priorities. She is professional, attentive, and highly communicative. She is always willing to explain things in greater detail, answer any questions, and make sure we feel informed and comfortable with every decision. What stands out most is her genuine commitment to acting in our best interest. Having that level of trust and continuity means a great deal. It gives real confidence and peace of mind that things are being managed carefully and thoughtfully. I would highly recommend Alison and her Rathbones team!

Rathbones Experience to Date
I've found everyone I have dealt with at Rathbones - be it fund manager, admin, IT support - to be polite, professional and reliable. A big plus point for me is that, should follow-ups be required, I am kept up-to-date on their progress. I deal mainly with Iain Curríe and his team and I have always had the impression that they have time not only to answer my queries, but also to offer advice as to a possible alternative approach. I also particularly appreciated help recently with a couple of technical issues (one docusign, one login).

I'm also glad that Iain and his team have taken the time not only to answer queries, but to discuss alternative approaches when helpful, and that the recent technical support was resolved smoothly.

Rathbones
I visited Rathbones in Edinburgh and met with Keith MacKenzie. I was accompanied by my eldest son who is an executor of my will. The objective was to review the performance of my Rathbones investment and familiarise both with my portfolio. We were treated hospitably and were in receipt of a number of useful observations and suggestions. Further, a request for some specialised research was dealt with in a professional and timely manner. A very productive meeting.

I've known Ross Middleton for many years through various firms and when he and his team moved to Rathbones I had no hesitation but to stay with him. He is very grounded and and provides commentary and advice in easily understandable straight forward terms. In the event that he's not available at any time, I may end up speaking to one of the equally helpful Investment team members. Recommended.
