LEADING wealth manager Brewin Dolphin is delighted that its Managed Funds Service (MFS) has won three categories at Citywire’s celebrated Wealth Manager Investment Performance Awards 2014 – retaining the Cautious portfolio and winning both the Balanced category and the Overall Large Firm Award.

Brewin Dolphin, which has offices in Newcastle, was also short-listed again for the Aggressive Portfolio award. Each model in its MFS range has a positive risk-adjusted return and this award recognises the value which MFS has provided to advisers and their clients.

The firm was also delighted with the support from advisers for the service, particularly in the North-East. Throughout the UK almost 600 firms have signed up to use Brewin's Managed Funds Service and the exponential growth in assets under management shows the strong relationships we have built with advisers.

Lucie Gordon, Business Development Manager at Brewin Dolphin in Newcastle said, “In the last 12 months, the support from advisers for our MFS has been fantastic. As firms continue to implement central investment propositions, we are delighted that we have been recognised with further accolade from the Citywire Investment Performance awards. These awards, backed by Asset Risk Consultants (ARC), are independent validation of our robust and repeatable process in delivering excellent risk-adjusted performance that will give advisers and their clients confidence.”

Brewin Dolphin also won the Best Overall Large Firm award, having been shortlisted last year. “It’s a great achievement to win three categories of the Citywire Investment Performance awards. This award, which review performance across the investment risk spectrum and ranks entrants based on performance across all risk levels, demonstrates the value added for our advisers and their clients within our Managed Funds Service,” added Ms Gordon.
