Centralised investment propositions

Grow your business and provide your clients with a more comprehensive service - without having to manage the extra time and resources needed. Our centralised investment proposition means you can outsource your clients' investments to seasoned experts.

Spend more time with your clients

For advisers, running an investment proposition can be time-consuming, costly and heavily operational – taking up resources that could otherwise be spent focusing on your clients. 

A centralised investment proposition (also known as an Outsourced Chief Investment Officer service or OCIO) can alleviate these pressures. You’ll have more time to spend with your clients, as well as the confidence that their investment needs are being met by dedicated investment management specialists.

Work with outsourcing experts

Meeting a full range of client needs is vital for growing your business, but building your in-house capabilities isn’t always possible. 

We’re expertly placed to provide our IFA partners with a flexible outsourced investment framework. Our teams have worked with financial advisers through years of industry changes and understand the unique challenges firms face.

Our highly analytical centralised investment process is supported by over 70 in-house specialists, who conduct in-depth research and continuous monitoring to achieve the best possible returns for your clients.

Flexible range of investment services

We can tailor our investment services to meet your client’s precise needs. This can include discretionary investment management, unitised solutions, model solutions and stockbroking services – each of which can be tailored to your business.

Choice of platforms

All our services are offered either direct or via industry-leading third-party platforms, giving you and your clients a variety of options.

Risk mitigation processes

By outsourcing all or part of your investment management process to us, you’ll gain access to our proven, well-resourced investment governance structure, helping to mitigate and reduce risk within your business.

Stay compliant

Align to changes in Consumer Duty legislation

The tax treatment of all investments depends upon individual circumstances and the levels and basis of taxation may change in the future. Investors should discuss their financial arrangements with their own tax adviser before investing.
