What RobMac does

Robson Macintosh, trading as RobMac, is a UK-based wealth management and financial planning firm founded in 1992 and headquartered at 13 Melville Street, Edinburgh. Its primary function is providing financial wealth management services to private wealth management clients, with a horizontal segmentation approach addressing clients of the wealth management firm. The core business is relationship-led advisory wealth management, and the firm has historically operated on a client-services model typical of UK independent financial advisors, with no disclosed proprietary technology platform, product IP, or digital tooling based on the source material.

Following a recent transaction, RobMac has been acquired by Thorntons Wealth Management Limited and now operates as a subsidiary within the Thorntons group. The acquisition was framed by the firm as a continuity mechanism for clients, ensuring ongoing service under the larger organisation's servicing framework. Existing clients have been directed to communicate through the same principal contact channels, while new general enquiries route through Thorntons Wealth Management's shared Edinburgh office contact details ([email protected], 0131 322 6764). The firm's own website has been converted to a redirect-style announcement pointing clients and counterparties to Thorntons Wealth.

No pricing, revenue, AUM, fee structure, or product catalogue data is available in the source material. The firm had between 51 and 100 employees at the time of the input snapshot, consistent with a mid-sized UK IFA/private wealth practice. There is no funding history, institutional investor, prior M&A, regulatory action, or leadership roster disclosed in the input.

• Rathbones Group: Large UK wealth manager providing investment management, financial planning, and advisory services. Comparable in core advisory offering, but operating at materially larger scale and with broader geographic reach than RobMac.
• Evelyn Partners: UK wealth management and professional services group offering financial planning, investment management, and tax advice. Directly comparable client segment and service mix to RobMac's traditional advisory practice.
• Quilter Cheviot: UK discretionary investment manager and wealth advisor serving HNW clients. Comparable target market and traditional portfolio management approach, though operating at significantly greater scale than RobMac.
