Quilter’s £23bn WealthSelect MPS hits transact platform – Advisers now access 56 portfolios including responsible options
Quilter has announced a significant expansion for its WealthSelect Managed Portfolio Service (MPS), now available on the Transact platform. This move opens up access for financial advisers to choose from a broad selection of 56 portfolios, providing greater flexibility for clients’ investment needs.
First introduced to third-party adviser platforms in early 2024, WealthSelect has steadily grown in prominence. With its latest inclusion on Transact, the service is now accessible on six different platforms, including Quilter’s own investment platform. The addition further solidifies WealthSelect’s position as one of the UK’s leading and most comprehensive MPS offerings.
Launched in 2014, WealthSelect is managed by a seasoned team comprising Stuart Clark, Helen Bradshaw, and Bethan Dixon. Over the years, it has amassed £23.3 billion in assets under management, offering a wide array of portfolios designed to match varying levels of risk tolerance. Notably, several portfolios incorporate responsible and sustainable investment products, reflecting Quilter’s commitment to ethical investment solutions.
Recent portfolio enhancements include the addition of the newly-launched Quilter Investors Absolute Return Equity Fund. WealthSelect has also begun seeding a US small-cap fund specifically for its Responsible portfolios, marking a continued focus on innovative and socially conscious investment strategies.
Stuart Clark, portfolio manager for WealthSelect MPS, highlighted the service’s growth:
“For over a decade, WealthSelect has become an integral part of advisers’ toolkit. Adding our service to Transact significantly expands the availability of these portfolios, ensuring advisers have the solutions they need, in the ways they require. We’re proud of what we’ve achieved so far, especially following the addition of WealthSelect to third-party platforms last year.”
Transact CEO Tom Dunbar echoed this enthusiasm, noting the benefits for advisers:
“Our mission is to provide advisers with the widest possible choice of MPS providers on the Transact platform. We are thrilled to now include Quilter’s WealthSelect MPS, which is available across all our wrappers, including our in-house offshore and onshore bonds.”
The move comes as Quilter oversees roughly £135 billion in client investments as of 30 September 2025. The company has long been committed to equipping financial advisers with versatile and high-quality portfolio options to meet the evolving demands of clients in the UK market.
WealthSelect has also been recognized for its excellence. In March 2025, the service received three awards from Defaqto, further demonstrating its credibility and performance within the managed portfolio service landscape.
By integrating WealthSelect across multiple platforms, Quilter ensures advisers can select investment solutions that best suit client goals, whether they prioritize growth, income, or responsible investing. This expansion underlines Quilter’s continued dedication to delivering flexible, robust, and award-winning investment solutions.
