RSMR is an independent company formed in 2004 delivering quality independent research and consulting services working with fund management groups, advisers and platform operators.
The RSMR portfolios can be mapped to match existing risk pro ling tools with choice and flexibility being key for the investor and adviser alike. Offering a blend of active and passive strategies, the portfolios are backed by RSMR’s unrivalled experience and track record in supporting UK advisory firms.
All of the RSMR managed portfolios are constructed using the same rigorous research process that supports their fund ratings. All of the funds in the model portfolios are selected from the RSMR rated fund list. The Verbatim independent Investment Committee ensures that each model portfolio is set out with a clear mandate to deliver against a proven asset allocation, based on a set risk profile.
