- Brooks Macdonald Group plc is a UK-based wealth management company specializing in multi-asset investment management and financial planning services. The company offers a comprehensive suite of products including Bespoke Portfolio Service (BPS) with specialized offerings such as Responsible Investing Service, Decumulation solutions, Court of Protection portfolios, and Gilts products; Managed Portfolio Service (MPS) featuring risk-managed model portfolios across diverse asset classes; financial planning advice tailored to private individuals, trusts, charities, and intermediaries; offshore fund management and administration; and a centralized investment process. The company operates primarily in the UK but previously had an international asset management arm.
Founded in 1991 and headquartered in London at 40 Leadenhall Street, Brooks Macdonald has undergone significant strategic changes in the last two years. In 2025, it completed the sale of its Brooks Macdonald Asset Management (International) Limited subsidiary to Canaccord Genuity Wealth (International) Holdings Limited, allowing the Group to focus exclusively on its UK operations and capitalize on domestic growth opportunities. Additionally, it expanded its financial planning business through acquisitions including the strategic purchase of LIFT-Financial Group in early 2025, adding approximately £1.6 billion in assets under advice and 1,350 clients, and subsequent acquisitions of financial planning firms like Lucas Fettes. The company also launched Brooks Financial, a new brand dedicated to its growing financial planning services, and introduced innovative product offerings such as the Global Managed Portfolio Service and Retirement Strategies, tailored for income drawdown and retirement planning, addressing the evolving needs of clients approaching retirement.
Brooks Macdonald focuses on high-net-worth private clients, trustees, and charitable organizations within the UK market, supported by a team of advisers and paraplanners delivering personalized investment solutions. The Group continues to drive growth through its specialist portfolios, particularly in areas like decumulation and gilts, and maintains a strong position in the Managed Portfolio Service sector with assets under management reaching multi-billion pounds levels, reflecting sustained client demand and product innovation.
Overall, Brooks Macdonald Group plc presents a focused wealth management platform emphasizing bespoke and model portfolio services, comprehensive financial planning, and an increasingly refined UK-centric business model underpinned by recent acquisitions, new product launches, and operational realignments.
