Our partnerships

We are proud to be working with world-renowned investment specialists to provide an unrivalled range of investment solutions.

 

 

 

From the outset, our intention was to seek well-established, reputable experts in global passive and active solutions. We believe it is imperative to have an optimised asset allocation with no home bias and therefore, we have teamed up with two world renowned asset managers, Vanguard and Redington. For a client, this guarantees a unique, proactive, and thorough service with the added security of being held on AJ Bell’s platform.

Vanguard has over $7 trillion of assets under management and provides guidance to our in-house investment experts on our passive solutions. This bespoke relationship, the first in the UK, enables us to provide our investors with access to Vanguard’s global asset selection expertise, whilst also benefitting from their commitment to low-cost investing.

Redington supports our active investment solutions. An independent, B Corp-Certified investment consultancy, Redington will provide data analysis alongside expertise in quantitative and qualitative, research and asset allocation.

All investments will be held securely with AJ Bell, one of the UK’s largest custodians of investments. Based in Manchester, AJ Bell holds over £90 billion of UK investors’ assets and is one of the companies making up the FTSE 250.

Vanguard is a different kind of investment company. It was founded in the United States in 1975 on a simple but revolutionary idea: that an investment company should manage its funds solely in the interests of its investors.

This is a philosophy that has helped millions of people around the world to achieve their goals with low-cost, uncomplicated investments. It also means that Vanguard now manages $7 trillion of investors’ assets.
