Cazenove Capital and its parent-company Schroders are delighted to announce that they have received the highest number of nominations as a “preferred provider” of discretionary fund manager (“DFM”) services in Defaqto’s 2023 DFM Satisfaction Study. Cazenove Capital and Schroders were the most frequently nominated UK provider achieving this status.
The accolade reflects the DFM services provided by both Cazenove Capital and Schroders Investment Solutions. The former provides advisers with bespoke portfolios for their clients, while the latter offers access to a wide range of model portfolios.
The survey, undertaken during August and September 2022, canvassed the views of adviser firms that have outsourced investment management assets to third-party DFMs. 294 firms responded to the survey. It was designed to assess which DFMs are recommended by advisers and the level of satisfaction with their services. Firms were asked to assess DFMs on fourteen categories, including financial strength and resource, brand, client-onboarding, existing business administration, investment flexibility and range of options provided.
Simon Cooper, Cazenove Capital’s Head of DFM Relationship Management, said:
“The Defaqto survey reflects the strong feedback we regularly receive from the adviser community. The huge shifts we have seen in the global economy and markets have made it all the more important to partner with a strong firm that can provide stability and reassurance in times of uncertainty, without surrendering returns.”
Gillian Hepburn, Schroders’ Head of UK Intermediary Solutions, commented:
“I am delighted that we have once again been recognised as a preferred provider of DFM services. Advisers take great comfort from knowing that their clients’ investments are in safe hands, giving them the freedom to really focus on advice and building their own businesses.”
