The deal will see the firm share videos and industry news from its research team.

UK investment manager Investec Wealth & Investement has partnered with Panacea Adviser, an online community and resource for financial advisors.

The deal will see Investec provide Panacea users with a variety of resources including videos and industry news from the firm’s research team, the investment manager said yesterday in a statement.

Users of the online community will also receive educational reports and due diligence questionnaires.

“Investec Wealth & Investment remains committed to supporting its Financial Adviser partners,” said Mark Stevens, head of intermediary services at Investec. “Joining the Panacea Adviser online community will enhance the existing communication channels and provide advisors further access to a wide range of information aimed at improving client outcomes. We appreciate that some advisors remain sceptical of the benefits of embracing Discretionary Investment Managers but hope that a greater understanding will allay their fears. Our aim is always to collaborate with advisers and not compete with them, as we strongly believe that together clients will benefit from a more comprehensive service in these uncertain times.”
