Relationships with discretionary fund managers (DFMs) will become more important with IFAs as we move towards RDR.

  • Absolutely. Can't do it myself, so why not get a specialist to manage my investment process?
  • Yes, I intend to use DFMs when they are suitable for specific clients, but not across the board.
  • Not sure. I have mixed feelings about outsourcing the investment.
  • No, I've had bad experiences in the past and I'm not sure I would trust a DFM with my clients.
  • Over my dead body. You couldn't pay me to use a DFM.
