Rathbones has won Investment Week's Gold Standard Award 2015 for Discretionary Portfolio Management for the second year in a row.

The accolade, which was also given to Rathbones in 2012, was awarded based on five criteria: financial strength, overall expertise, client service, offering clients fair value and being a trustworthy adviser in which clients can have confidence.

Robert Hughes-Penney, Investment Director and Chair of the company's Client Committee, commented: 'It is great to see external recognition of the way we put clients at the heart of our business. Congratulations to all involved.'
