European Wealth Accepted onto Standard Life's Discretionary Fund Management Platform
European Wealth (AIM: EWG, EWGL), the expanding UK wealth management group, is delighted to announce that its discretionary SIPP and International Bond investment services are now available to financial advisers via Standard Life's online portal - Adviserzone.com. They can be accessed via the Propositions to Individuals section of the site,
https://www.adviserzone.com/adviser/public/adviserzone/propositions/individual/activemoneylifeplan/amsipp, and https://www.adviserzone.com/adviser/public/adviserzone/propositions/individual/bonds/internationalbond. European Wealth joins leading names from the UK's discretionary fund management industry available to Standard Life customers on the portal.
Rod Gentry, CEO of European Wealth, commented:
"We are seeing a continuing trend amongst advisers, when it comes to managing clients' assets, of moving towards platform-centric models given the flexibility, transparency and controls they can offer. It is therefore a genuine honour, as one of the new names in the UK's wealth management industry, to have been added as an investment link by Standard Life. We see them as a highly complementary channel to market for our investment management services."
Having been admitted onto the London Stock Exchange's AIM market in May 2014, European Wealth now has approximately £1 billion of assets under management, the Company operating two main divisions, European Investment Management Limited ("EIM") and European Financial Planning Limited ("EFP").
Graham Dow, Head of Investment Group Relationships at Standard Life, added:
"Standard Life offers access to a wide range of Discretionary Investment Managers who can provide a truly bespoke service. Our Discretionary Investment Managers have been carefully selected and include many of the key players in this market and we are delighted to add European Wealth's EIM business to our existing offering."
In November 2014, European Wealth acquired the Swiss fund management business, P&C, managed by Iain Little and Bruce Albrecht. Bruce Albrecht was a former Group Chief Investment Officer & Global Strategist for N.M. Rothschild London and Chief Investment Officer Europe for the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA).
