Hintons DFM

Niche Discretionary
Fund Management

What do you gain from using Niche DFM?
With DFM's becoming more popular, talk to us about a market leader and also, in our opinion, the most RDR-friendly and modern DFM out there.
With Niche you'll be outsourcing: Risk profiling, due diligence, asset allocation, ongoing monitoring of the performance of underlying funds, requirement for rebalancing, thus derisking your business; derisking your network (if applicable) and potentially reducing the cost of PI cover.

Hintons research the market, complete due diligence, track fund trades, collate and pay commissions and offer suggested wording for IFA's suitability reports.


I have used many of the funds on the Hintons Panel and as global stock markets have been falling and incredibly volatile over the last few years, my portfolios have been protected against the full impact of these losses by using these steady, non-correlated funds; hence I am using Hintons choice of DFM's (Niche) with the same degree of trust that I have with their fund selection.
