Private Banking

Modern private banking. Since 1692.

For over 300 years our founding principle has been to understand deeply our clients and their needs. This will never change. Being part of the RBS Group means we can do this on a global scale.

We combine the highly responsive service and specialist wealth management expertise of a prestigious private bank with the resources and comprehensive knowledge base of one of the world's largest and most dynamic financial organisations.

With offices throughout Europe, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and offshore jurisdictions, we look after around 37,000 private clients worldwide, providing them with expertly crafted financial solutions with the aim of protecting and growing their wealth.

Above all, we understand that there is no such thing as a typical client. Which is why there is no such thing as a typical day in the life of RBS Coutts.

Protecting and growing your wealth, day by day.

Whatever your investment objectives, RBS Coutts can craft financial solutions to meet your needs, based on a wide and innovative range of investment services. But, in helping you protect and grow your wealth, we don't just rely upon our own financial expertise. We also offer you access to some of the most talented investment specialists around the globe.

Our approach is based on our belief that no single investment house can provide outstanding performance across all asset classes and geographical areas at all times. So we carefully select specialist investment managers across traditional investment management, hedge funds and private equity.

Investment management

If you prefer to delegate day-to-day investment decisions, we offer a discretionary investment management service.

In managing your wealth we believe in four key principles, which provide us with a framework which aims to deliver satisfaction to our clients.
 
The four principles are: that clarity of investment purpose is critical to success; that global asset allocation is the principle driver of investment performance; that failure to achieve the investment objective is the key investment risk; and finally, that innovative market access strategies and products are key to generating our performance.

Our focus on global asset allocation and identifying emerging thematic trends is complemented by a long and successful track record in creating investment products which meet our clients' performance expectations.
