Fund providers

Hello all,
I am consolidating my work pensions into a more modern Drawdown SIPP, and I am considering Multi Asset and tracker funds from 2 or 3 of the following providers:

Legal and General
HSBC
Vanguard
Axa Framlington
Fundsmith
Baillie Gifford
Blackrock

Now, these all seem like household names to me and I have no knowledge of any bad practices.
Before I go ahead, do any of you see any No-No's on this list? Any bad experiences?
Would you avoid any like the plague?

Thanks.
Lollynerd.

    Fundsmith don't offer Multi Asset or Tracker funds and I don't think that Ballie Gifford do either.

    OK, sorry. Ignore that term.
    The original question still stands.

    I own funds/ITs/ETFs from some of those companies.

    No companies there that are dodgy.

    They are all reputable asset managers however they don't all offer mostly passive approaches or multi asset funds. For example Fundsmith are highly concentrated stock pickers. From your list I would focus on BlackRock, Vanguard, HSBC and L&G.
