Part 1: Top five entities used for the transmission or placing of investment orders

Retail clients are recommended to look at our service “discretionary managed model portfolio solutions” via our own financial intermediaries (Financial Advisers).

Where we send investment applications or orders on our clients’ behalf to third parties (for example, to buy or sell investment holdings), we make every effort to ensure the best possible result for our clients. This is referred to as best execution. We may transmit or place the order via a third party platform (an online investment administration service), directly with a fund manager or with a stockbroker, to execute the order.

We’re obliged to disclose on an annual basis the top five firms that we send our client orders to.

All investment orders are sent to the above platforms who, in turn place the order in compliance with their own Best Execution policies. The platforms best execution policies can be sourced on their public websites.

The information relates to the period 1st January 2018 to 31st December 2018.

We undertake periodic monitoring of our trading partners to make sure that they continue to meet our requirements. This review is carried out at least annually or whenever a significant change occurs that we feel could affect our ability to continue to obtain the best possible results.

As clients are recommended our service via our own financial intermediaries all clients are classed as Retail clients.
