Why Asset Management?

Our Wealth businesses comprise of Coutts and Affluent, and our strategy focuses on not only providing competitive day to day banking, but helping clients pay down their household debt and build longer term investments too.

With over 330 years of history, Coutts has defined the Private Banking sector not just as a bank, but a business that prides itself on expertise and experience too.

Affluent comprises of NatWest Premier, Specialist Advice & Investment Services, and the contact centres that support them. Affluent is a relatively new business area and aims to support some of NatWest Group’s wealthiest customers with excellent service and advice.

The Asset Management Centre of Excellence, within Coutts, was established to provide investment products and services to NatWest Group customers. As an asset manager, we are responsible for the allocation, management and oversight of capital to create long-term value for our customers.
