European Wealth’s discretionary self-invested personal pension and international bond investment services are now available to financial advisers via Standard Life’s online Adviserzone portal.
Rod Gentry, the wealth manager’s chief executive, explained that he had witnessed a continuing trend among advisers of moving towards platform-centric models for improved flexibility, transparency and controls.
After being admitted onto the London Stock Exchange’s Alternative Investment Market in May 2014, European Wealth now has about £1bn of assets under management under its two divisions, European Investment Management and European Financial Planning.
In November, European Wealth acquired the Swiss fund management business P&C, managed by Iain Little and Bruce Albrecht.
It also bought the associated GTI Fund Investment Ltd for an aggregate maximum consideration of £2.76m.
