We are immensely proud to announce that EQ Investors has received an Expert Rated 5-star ranking from Defaqto for the eighth year in a row.

What is a Defaqto rating?

Defaqto is one of the UK’s most trusted sources of financial product and market intelligence, supporting financial institutions, intermediaries, and consumers to make smarter financial decisions:

  • Defaqto teams conduct independent research across a wide range of financial products and services.
  • Services are rated based on key features and benefits; and the number of stars can help in assessing how a service compares with the peer group.
  • Defaqto ratings represent an impartial stamp of approval.

Defaqto Star Ratings are updated and published annually on 1 February each year. Any products launched or changed during the following 12 months are compared against the criteria, and given the appropriate Star Rating.
