How We Work Together

Choose the partnership model that fits

Every advisory firm is different. We offer four distinct partnership structures — and will always recommend the one that genuinely suits your business.

MPS Partnership

Most advisory firms

Access our five risk-graded model portfolios across 22+ platforms. You recommend, we manage. Simple, scalable, cost-effective.

Full DFM Mandate

Firms wanting full outsourcing

Convexus takes full discretionary responsibility for investment decisions. You focus entirely on advice and client relationships.

Bespoke Partnership

Firms with distinct investment needs

We build a custom portfolio framework aligned to your philosophy, client base and brand — managed under our regulatory umbrella.

White-Label Solution

Firms building their brand

Deliver investment management under your own name. We provide the infrastructure, governance and models. You own the client experience.

Why Advisers Choose Convexus

What a Convexus partnership delivers

You Own the Client Relationship

Convexus operates as your investment management partner — never your competitor. The client remains yours throughout.

Institutional-Quality Portfolios

Access the same ETF-core, correlation-driven portfolio construction methodology used by professional investment managers — at a fraction of typical DFM cost.

Robust Investment Governance

We provide documented investment processes, risk management frameworks and regular oversight reports — supporting your compliance and file reviews.

Free Up Your Time

Outsourcing the investment function to Convexus means more of your team's time can be focused on financial planning, client relationships and business development.

Flexible Service Structure

Whether you need a straightforward MPS, a full DFM mandate, or a white-label bespoke solution — we design the relationship around your business, not the other way around.

Cost-Competitive Proposition

Our typical all-in portfolio cost of 0.67% compares favourably to the 1.5%+ charged by active multi-asset peer groups — a compelling story to tell clients.

The Process

From conversation to live partnership

We've designed our onboarding to be straightforward and low-friction — most firms are fully live within four to six weeks.

01

Initial Conversation

We start with a straightforward conversation to understand your firm, your clients, and your investment proposition goals. No obligation — just a genuine discussion about fit.

02

Proposal & Mandate Design

We prepare a tailored proposal covering service structure, portfolio options, pricing, and onboarding. For bespoke mandates, we work with you to define the investment parameters from the outset.

03

Onboarding & Integration

Our team handles the technical and administrative onboarding process — platform connectivity, reporting setup, and documentation — so minimal time is required from your team.

04

Ongoing Partnership

Once live, your dedicated relationship contact provides regular investment updates, performance reporting, and is available whenever you need to discuss a client scenario.

Ongoing Support

What we provide once you're live

Our partnership doesn't end at onboarding. Every adviser partner receives dedicated support, regular investment communications and access to materials that make your conversations with clients more effective.

We view every partnership as a long-term relationship built on shared objectives — better outcomes for advisers and their clients alike.

Independent advisory firm — growing practice, scaling pressures

MPS + Bespoke Mandate Partnership · IFA firm, £85m AUM

Active Partner

The Situation

A well-established IFA firm with approximately £85m AUM had been managing portfolios directly through a combination of in-house model portfolios and individual fund selections. As the client base grew, maintaining consistency and investment governance across the book was becoming increasingly difficult for a team focused primarily on advice.

The Challenge

The firm didn't want to hand clients to a third-party DFM and risk losing control of the investment experience. But building a fully compliant, governance-rich investment proposition in-house required resource, expertise and technology the firm hadn't budgeted for. They needed a partner, not a replacement.

The Partnership

Convexus implemented a two-tier structure: the MPS for the majority of the client book, and a bespoke mandate for eight higher-value clients with specific needs. Onboarding took five weeks. The firm retained every client relationship, gained a robust governance framework, and received co-branded reporting collateral for client reviews.

"The best adviser partnerships are not transactional. They are built through alignment, shared philosophy and a long-term commitment to delivering better outcomes — for advisers and their clients alike."
