About us
Best Value, Best Service, Best Research
Bestinvest is a leading investment advisory
business which looks after more than £4 billion of client assets
for 50,000 clients. We specialise in providing investment
advice, financial planning and wealth management services.
Guiding principles over 25 years
Over the past 25 years, we have built our business upon four key
principles that guide us in everything we do:
- To provide the best value by pioneering innovative new ways of
serving our clients
- To offer market-leading independent research
- To de-mystify investment markets for our clients
- To deliver the same standard of service whether you make your
own investment decisions or we manage your investments for you
From our roots in advising clients on tax-efficient investing
through the pioneering of low-cost broking in the 1990s, the
innovative delivery of investment advice services over the
telephone and online and the establishment of our successful
discretionary investment businesses, we have repeatedly sought to
find new ways of applying these principles in serving
investors.
Award-winning service
The quality of our services has been recognised many times by
the national press, our industry peers and - most importantly to us
- by our clients.
In December 2011, readers of the Financial Times and Investors
Chronicle voted Bestinvest not only the Self Select ISA
Provider 2011, but also the Best Advisory
Stockbroker 2011.
Earlier in 2011 the same readers also voted Bestinvest the
UK Wealth Manager of the Year and Best
Wealth Manager for Investments.
Money Marketing judged us to be the Best Discretionary
Adviser 2011.
The breadth and quality of our research means that we are widely
quoted in the national press, on radio and television.
Independence
At Bestinvest, we are completely independent. We're not owned by
a parent group, nor are we affiliated or tied to any fund
management house or product provider. So you can be confident that
our research, analysis and advice are all impartial. Read more.
Our future
The innovative use of technology has always been the foundation
on which we have taken our business forward. Our new Select
Service represents the next step on this continuing journey.
Select has been designed specifically for clients who want the
freedom to choose their own investments and the convenience of
being able to manage them online. We continue to invest in
expanding our investment advisory, investment management and wealth
planning teams and will be launching more exciting enhancements to
these services through 2012.
