Investment strategies of the firm have been added to the platform, expanding its reach.

Bordier UK has had five of its core investment strategies made available through its platform managed portfolio service to Fidelity’s FundsNetwork platform.  

The strategies, which were recently made available via a strategic partnership with 7IM, can also be accessed via Ascentric, Aviva, Fusion, Nucleus, Novia, Praemium, Standard Life, Transact and Zurich, Bordier UK said in a statement yesterday. 

“As a business we open ourselves up to the scrutiny of organisations like Asset Risk Consultants, Distribution Technology and Defaqto as part of our continuing commitment to transparency, and the retention of our trio of Defaqto 5 Star Ratings for a fourth consecutive year further confirms the credibility of our investment proposition,” said Jamie MacLeod, Bordier UK's chief executive.

FundsNetwork provides more than 2,950 funds from more than 130 providers on its system and was launched in 2000. It administers £66.6 billion ($81.5 billion) in assets, as at 30 December 2016.
