Brewin Dolphin to expand range of risk-profiling tools for advisers

Brewin Dolphin is seeking to expand its range of risk-profiling tools after feedback from advisers showed they want greater choice.

The wealth manager currently exclusively uses Distribution Technology’s Dynamic Planner tool, but said it is finding clients favour a range of tools from different providers. As a result, it is considering adding a system run by Australian firm FinaMetrica.
