ING rolls out e-distribution
ING Financial Planning (INGFP) will roll out an electronic distribution channel over coming months in a process scheduled to take two years.
INGFP chief executive Mark Spiers says the initial roll-out will work with the RetireInvest and new Partnership Planners dealer groups to service existing customers.
If successful, the model will then be examined for wider use across all the distribution arms of the Mercantile Mutual group.
As reported in Money Management, Partnership Planners was born out of the merger of Advisor Investment Services and Bleakleys which are set to join together under the new banner from next week.
