Skandia Investment Group will be responsible for the distribution of the group’s three core businesses: Skandia Europe & Latin America (ELAM), Skandia Nordic and Skandia UK & Offshore. As such it will include multi-manager portfolios, research selected funds, structured products and open architecture funds.
