7IM

What 7IM does

7IM is a UK-based, FCA-regulated investment management and wealth management firm founded in 2002, operating as an independent limited liability partnership with no disclosed parent or external controlling owner. The company runs an open-architecture investment platform serving two principal customer sets: (1) UK financial advisers and planners, who use 7IM to outsource platform administration, discretionary portfolio management, and fund selection so they can focus on client relationships, and (2) private clients, now consolidated under the Amicus Wealth Management brand following the 2026 integration of 7IM's private client division with acquired firms. As of 30 April 2026, 7IM reports £25.4bn+ in assets under management and 450+ staff across UK offices in London (headquarters, 1 Angel Court), Edinburgh, and Chichester.

The core technology asset is the 7IM Platform, a digital open-architecture hub supporting multiple wrapper account types (GIA, ISA, JISA, SIPP, Junior SIPP, onshore and offshore bonds) and integrating with 16 third-party SIPP providers and 7 offshore bond providers. On top of the platform sit five discretionary Model Portfolio Service ranges (Active, Blended, Income, Passive, Responsible Choice, plus Partnership portfolios), a proprietary multi-asset fund range (Pathbuilder, AAP, Multi Manager, Responsible Balanced, Real Return), retirement income solutions, and the 7IMagine mobile app for advisers and clients. ESG tooling includes a Carbon Reduction Calculator; integration depth is the primary technology differentiator rather than proprietary AI.

7IM monetizes primarily through recurring platform fees, discretionary management fees, and fund management fees, with cash interest revenue as a minor secondary stream (onshore GBP cash at 1.75%, offshore GBP at 1.00%). GTM is sales-led through UK financial advisers (the primary route) with a parallel direct-to-consumer channel for private clients under Amicus. Distribution is supported by marketing partnerships (notably an 8+ year LBC Radio partnership for thought leadership) and a nationwide adviser relationship management team. Aggressive inorganic growth has reshaped the firm: Amicus Wealth was acquired in December 2023 (~$1bn AUM), Rockhold Asset Management in November 2024 (~$2bn AUM), and CPN Group in March 2026 ($750m+ assets under advice, 2,800+ clients), with CPN folding into Amicus Wealth Management.

Broad incumbents

• Schroders: Global asset and wealth manager with UK private banking, platform and adviser solutions. Comparable to 7IM on multi-asset funds, advised platform and retirement offerings, but operates as part of a much larger global firm.
• Abrdn (formerly Aberdeen Standard Investments): Global asset manager and UK platform/wealth operator (Abrdn Adviser, Abrdn Financial Planning). Overlaps with 7IM's investment management and advised platform, but as part of a much larger global franchise.

Direct peers

• Rathbones Group: UK wealth manager offering discretionary investment management, fund solutions and advised platform via Rathbones Financial Planning. Closely matches 7IM's combined discretionary, fund and adviser-channel proposition; comparable AUM scale and HNW client base.
• AJ Bell: UK investment platform and SIPP operator serving both advised and direct clients. Overlaps with 7IM on platform technology, SIPP provision, and multi-asset fund offerings; a key competitor for adviser mandates and direct private client flows.
• Brooks Macdonald: UK wealth management group providing discretionary portfolio management and financial planning services to HNW individuals, families, trusts and charities. Closely comparable to 7IM's discretionary and Amicus private client offering on client base, services and AUM tier.
• Evelyn Partners: UK wealth management and professional services firm providing financial planning, investment management and tax advice to private clients, families and trusts. Comparable to 7IM/Amicus on HNW advice-led wealth management and discretionary investment management.
• Hargreaves Lansdown: UK's largest direct and advised investment platform offering ISAs, SIPPs, funds and model portfolios. Comparable to 7IM Platform and 7IM Fund Range on product set, though skewed toward direct-to-consumer rather than adviser-led distribution.

• Quilter: UK-listed wealth manager and advised platform serving financial advisers with platform, DFM and retirement solutions. Directly comparable to 7IM across adviser platform, discretionary management, and advised client segments; 7IM's £18.98bn advised platform AUM competes head-on with Quilter's UK Platform business.
• Charles Stanley: UK wealth manager offering discretionary investment management, financial planning and adviser platform-like services to private clients. Comparable to 7IM on DFM, financial planning and HNW/mass-affluent client mix.
