AWD Chase de Vere unveils platform line-up

L&G and AXA are among the product providers who will be providing investment links on AWD Chase de Vere's new platform.

Developed with Cofunds, the adviser platform will offer whole of market access to over 1,000 funds from more than 70 fund managers through a selection of different tax wrappers.

Providers so far signed up are:

• Onshore bonds: Legal & General and AIG
• Offshore bonds: AXA, Canada Life and Legal & General
• SIPP: AXA, Scottish Widows and Legal & General
• Personal pensions: Legal & General and Scottish Widows
• Guaranteed products: Aegon and The Hartford

At launch three wrap providers will be available within each product category. The winners of the tender for with-profits provider will be announced shortly, together with additional providers in the onshore bond and personal pension sectors.

SIPP investors will also be able to use the AWD Chase de Vere SIPP on the platform.

Martyn Laverick, marketing director, AWD Chase de Vere says: “One size doesn’t fit all and our advisers need access to a full range of wrappers in order to be able to provide our clients with the best solution to their needs. Some clients will need highly technical wrappers with access to sophisticated investment options while others will need no more than a plain low-cost plan.

“The next stage of our development is to work closely with our chosen strategic partners to provide seamless integration across all wrappers and all funds. Once this major IT project has been completed and thoroughly tested we will be ready to roll out our new platform to our advisers and clients.”
