Under the deal the two groups will work on the development of financial services’ platforms for the UK market and have already released Lifetime Portfolio Services, a funds management and portfolio management service.

Millfield has about 380 advisers across the UK and is more than 60 per cent owned by its IFA partners. The dealer group was formed in 1988 and floated on the UK alternative investment market in March last year.
