Axa Elevate adds Hornbuckle SIPPs

Axa Wealth platform Elevate is offering SIPPs by provider Hornbuckle Mitchell to its investors.

Axa said the partnership will allow advisers to benefit from broad asset choice via a single platform and provider.

It will also provide fast online transactions, consolidated views to aid investment and reporting and simple re-registration of funds on the platform.

David Thompson, managing director, AXA Wealth UK distributors, said: "Being able to provide the benefits of Elevate's electronic trading capabilities whilst retaining the full SIPP benefits of the pension creates a win-win scenario for advisers and their clients."

Meanwhile, Legal & General's (L&G) international potfolio bond is now available via the Seven Investment Management (7IM) platform.

Tom Sheridan, chief executive of 7IM, said: "We have seen strong demand from advisers for in-specie transfers into offshore bonds in recent months as it makes sense for clients."
