 | | Standard Life beefs up tailor made solutions on Wrap platform
Talking with Philippa Aylmer this week, Jenny Davidson, head of platform investment proposition at Standard Life, explains that their new solutions are driven by adviser client demand and that she believes that the role of financial advisers is evolving especially since Pensions Freedom. Individuals are now having to take more ownership of their investments, and as a result, they are seeking regular advice, she says.
