Morgan Stanley has extended its relationship with Gilliat Financial Solutions to distribute structured products to retail investors through IFAs.

The venture will drive forward the marketing of Morgan Stanley’s structured products to retail investors, while strengthening its distribution capability and extending its advisor base, the firm said.

Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley has a suite of products that are complementary to Gilliat's own range, said Adrian Neave, managing director at Gilliat. 

Morgan Stanley has worked with Gilliat for a number of years as an asset provider.

Gilliat Financial Solutions is part of the Arbuthnot Banking Group and specialises in the design and distribution of structured products for retail and professional investors.
