Scottish Life adds Brewin to DFM panel

Scottish Life is adding Brewin Dolphin to its panel of discretionary fund managers available through its pension portfolio.

Royal London's pension arm says the new investment option - available as part of the self-invested options within Pension Portfolio - is being offered in response to adviser demand.

Brewin Dolphin joins Cazenove Capital Management, Deutsch Bank Private Wealth Management and Rathbones on the Scottish Life panel.

Samantha Scotland, technical & research manager at Scottish Life, says: "The DFM option gives them access to specialist fund managers who provide a professional investment service, taking the responsibility for the investments in the portfolio."

The Brewin Dolphin Group manages over £17bn of funds for over 130,000 clients; £10bn on a discretionary basis.
