Our story so far
We started BrightRock around a dining room table in 2011, because we wanted to change the way financial services products work to better meet people’s needs.
Your money, the needs-matched way
When we got together around that dining room table, we asked each other: why do people have to think about, and talk about, their money in separate conversations? Conversations that are distinct from the ones they’re having about their lives and their needs, with the people they love.
At BrightRock, we believe no-one knows your money better than you.
That’s because there’s no-one who knows what you want, and what you need, better than you. And we also know that your life keeps changing. So we create financial products that meet your needs today, and keep changing and adapting to change with you as your life changes.
We believe in the power of good financial advice.
Our financial products are designed to empower you and your financial adviser to co-create the best money solutions, just for you.
