Distribution Technology's Dynamic Planner tool has been adopted by American Express for rollout to all users of its wrap platform.

American Express is not relaxing its vetting principles for doing deals with IFAs over use of its wrap account, but is widening the list of potential contacts as it moves to add services to the platform.

American Express has added more multimanager offerings on its wrap platform through the inclusion of funds from Insight Investments.

American Express has signed a deal to incorporate the funds of US-based Dimensional Fund Advisors into its wrap platform for IFAs.

American Express is building on its wrap model by announcing a deal to offer access to all 4,000 UK funds from 266 providers coupled with data from Standard & Poor's.

Group 300 has become the second independent distributor signed to the wrap platform developed by American Express, following a similar agreement with IFA Thinc announced last month.

American Express has announced a wrap platform deal with adviser firm Thinc set to be followed shortly by at least two more as the multinational executes its move into the technology and support services side of UK financial services.
