UK-listed European Wealth, the wealth management house founded four years ago, announced today that some of its investment offerings are now available to financial advisors through an online portal of Standard Life.

Users of European Wealth’s discretionary self invested pension plans and international bond investment services are available by Adviserzone.com.

"We are seeing a continuing trend amongst advisors, when it comes to managing clients' assets, of moving towards platform-centric models given the flexibility, transparency and controls they can offer. It is therefore a genuine honour, as one of the new names in the UK's wealth management industry, to have been added as an investment link by Standard Life. We see them as a highly complementary channel to market for our investment management services,” Rod Gentry, chief executive of European Wealth, said.

European Wealth, which was entered into London’s AIM equity market in May 2014, has around £1 billion of assets under management. In November last year, European Wealth acquired the Swiss fund management business P&C, managed by Iain Little and Bruce Albrecht. Bruce Albrecht was a former group chief investment officer and global strategist for NM Rothschild London and chief investment officer Europe for the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA).
