How to bake a Multi Award-Winning DFM Business:
Part 2: Energy & Relationships

In July, Casterbridge Wealth won the highly-coveted ‘Best Discretionary Fund Manager’ honours at the 2020 Money Marketing Awards. All this week we are going to be sharing the ingredients that we believe helped drive this success…

After looking at the ingredients and method we used in Part 1, Part 2 looks at the energy we have and relationships we have worked hard to build…

Energising the discretionary fund management market

Our decision to set up a discretionary fund manager (DFM) business was inspired by the clear lack of variety and differentiation available within the  marketplace. To us, it felt like Financial Advisers – and their clients – were being short-changed by the unremarkable offerings available. While costs were high, many DFM portfolios looked remarkably similar! We decided it was time to offer an alternative recipe.

A true relationship-based approach

The first decision was to think about what Financial Advisers really wanted from us – not just as a service offering, but as a relationship geared towards achieving successful outcomes for their clients. We believe it is
important to focus on supporting the interests and success of advice firms,  working to achieve their clients’ financial aspirations.

Part 3: Not just any old experience – out soon…
