Our Product Research

Acting for the client, rather than selling a predetermined set of products, causes some operational challenges that need to be met. Did you know that there are more regulated funds available for the average retail investor than there are listed companies on the UK stock market?

Honister Partners invests more than £500,000 a year in research functions. It is a part of the business that you will not see but combined with the skills and specialism of your adviser, it will deliver the greatest value.

It would be impossible for a single adviser to fully research all the available investment options on the market, so this significant investment in thorough research means Honister Partners, as a firm of advisers, can provide bespoke solutions that are appropriate and robust.

Our Partners

Honister Partners is proud of its research function and has selected a number of partners to support us with this work. We believe that this allows the Honister Partners' advisers to continue to be the best the industry has to offer.

We partner Old Broad Street Research to support us in understanding the world of funds. They filter the whole market on a continual basis to sift out those funds we should not be looking at as a component of your bespoke solution. They meet more fund managers than any other research house to understand more than just the numbers. Our filtered list is made available to all Honister Partners' advisers to help them support you. However large or small your savings, you will want them to work as hard as possible for you.

We partner AKG in two main areas, to help us understand the financial strength of the insurance community and to carry out due diligence on fund solutions that are not mainstream. Since the recent collapse of many banking institutions, this partnership is essential for us to ensure your money, however much you are investing, is as safe as it can possibly be.

We partner Barrie & Hibbert to provide asset allocation tools, part of the dark art of investing. It has been long-proven that investing in the best mix of asset classes has greater long-term value than investing in the current fashionable funds. Put simply, asset allocation is less volatile over any medium to long-term investment strategy. Barrie & Hibbert provides intellectual solutions to some of the largest and most powerful investment funds. We are proud that we are able to bring to our clients a service which, purely on cost, would be out of reach for all but the most affluent individual.
