The SMA has been added to Praemium and Powerwrap Investment menus and would be expected to be live on OneVue in the coming weeks, the firm said.
At the same time, the unit trust was available via Powerwrap and OneVue Investment and was expected to be live on Praemium shortly.
The trend towards SMAs would not seem to be disappearing, and Money Management is currently investigating the drivers and winners from this growth. Advisers who complete our survey will be in the running to win a bottle of Penfolds Grange Hermitage.
Additionally, the company announced the addition of Alexander Ordon as the firm’s head of distribution.
Ordon would be responsible for all sales and marketing functions within Aoris and would report directly to Aoris’ founder and chief investment officer, Stephen Arnold.
