   Appendix 
 
   Directors' Responsibility Statement 
 
   The directors are responsible for preparing the report and accounts 
2017, comprising the consolidated financial statements of Rathbone 
Brothers Plc and its subsidiaries (the 'group') and holding company 
financial statements (the 'parent company') in accordance with 
applicable law and regulations. 
 
   Company law requires the directors to prepare group and parent company 
financial statements for each financial year. Under that law they are 
required to prepare the group financial statements in accordance with 
IFRS as adopted by the EU and applicable law and have elected to prepare 
the parent company financial statements on the same basis. 
 
   Under company law, the directors must not approve the financial 
statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view 
of the state of affairs of the group and parent company and of their 
profit or loss for that period. In preparing each of the group and 
parent company financial statements, the directors are required to: 
 
 
   -- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently 
 
   -- make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent 
 
   -- state whether they have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted 
      by the EU 
 
   -- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is 
      inappropriate to presume that the group and the parent company will 
      continue in business. 
 
 
 
   The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records 
that are sufficient to show and explain the parent company's 
transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the 
financial position of the parent company and enable them to ensure that 
its financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They have 
general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to 
them to safeguard the assets of the group and to prevent and detect 
fraud and other irregularities. 
 
   Under applicable law and regulations, the directors are also responsible 
for preparing a strategic report, directors' report, remuneration 
committee report and corporate governance statement that comply with 
that law and those regulations. 
 
   The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the 
corporate and financial information included on the company's website. 
Legislation in the UK governing the preparation and dissemination of 
financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. 
 
   The directors who held office at the date of approval of the directors' 
report confirm that, so far as they are each aware, there is no relevant 
audit information of which the company's auditors are unaware and each 
director has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a 
director to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit 
information and to establish that the company's auditor is aware of that 
information. 
 
   We confirm that to the best of our knowledge: 
 
 
   -- the consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with the 
      applicable set of accounting standards, give a true and fair view of the 
      assets, liabilities, financial position and profit of the parent company 
      and the undertakings included in the consolidation taken as a whole 
 
   -- the strategic report and directors' report include a fair review of the 
      development and performance of the business and the position of the 
      issuer and the undertakings included in the consolidation taken as a 
      whole, together with a description of the principal risks and 
      uncertainties that they face 
 
   -- the annual report and accounts, taken as a whole, is fair, balanced and 
      understandable and provides the information necessary for shareholders to 
      assess the group's position and performance, business model and strategy. 
 
 
   By order of the board
