By GlobalDataHorrocks said that he has signed agreements with more than 30 DFMs, including Brewin Dolphin, Brooks Macdonald, Rowan Dartington and Investec to support RockWealth’s investment management proposition.
Horrocks said: "Like most IFAs we will independently select the most appropriate products and services from across the whole of the market and we employ the highest calibre of discretionary fund managers to monitor all our clients’ investments.
"What makes us different is that clients using RockWealth’s online service get access to all the benefits of full DFM with monthly portfolio rebalancing at a cost that is easily accessible to a more average investor," he added.
