The six Spectrum funds by Skandia Investment Group will soon be available to financial advisors using Distribution Technology’s risk profiling service, SIG said.

The funds, originally designed in conjunction with Towers Watson’s risk mapping tools, have so far been available exclusively on the SIG's own platform.  

Now, Distribution Technology has mapped the Spectrum funds against its own Dynamic Planner’s risk categories to help advisors using their software to appropriately match a fund to their client’s requirements.

Dynamic Planner has over 29,000 registered advisor users via platforms, intermediaries, networks and service providers, Skandia said.

“With more than £550 million already invested in the Spectrum funds it’s clear that risk-controlled investments are becoming ever more popular,” said Rob Williams, SIG chief sales & marketing office.

“With an increasing number of enquiries - particularly from other platforms and key national and network firms - using Distribution Technology’s Dynamic Planner was the obvious next step”.

Ben Goss, chief executive of Distribution Technology Limited, added: “Our new Fund Risk Profiling service has been adopted by a number of leading investment managers now and provides an independent and robust framework for assessing investments such that advisors are well placed to make selections that match their client’s asset allocation and risk tolerance requirements.”
