North expands platform range
North has added 18 investment options to its platform, covering equities, property, bonds and technology.
The firm said the new additions reflected the diverse choice of products and that 140 had been added during 2021, including a range of managed portfolios and ethically-based funds.
It had also launched two partnered managed portfolios (PMPs) with Milestone Financial and Coastline Advice which were a decision to work collaboratively with advisers and investment managers to create wrap investment offerings.
Ian Hayes, director of Milestone Financial, said it had decided to partner with AMP as it would allow the firm to offer clients an expanded range of investment options while investment decisions could be implemented quickly via the North platform.
The two firms brought the total number of PMPs to 16 advice practices.
AMP director of platforms, Edwina Maloney, said: “Providing advisers and their clients with access to a diverse and growing range of high-quality and contemporary investments is a fundamental aspect of our strategy for North.
“We’ll also continue to draw on our knowledge of financial advice to work with more advice practices and investment managers to develop tailored managed portfolios, recognising the value they provide their clients.”
