Skandia

Skandia has launched an upgraded version of its U-Skan investment analysis tool.

Skandia Investment Group (SIG) is looking to launch as many as seven of the group's Dublin-based funds to the UK market.

Spending time in the market rather than trying to time the market will benefit clients most in the current volatility, Skandia believes.

Life companies are beginning to count the cost of creating full wrap platforms which few advisers are ready to use, Skandia claims.

Equity Income funds increased in popularity last month as demand for fixed interest declined, Skandia figures reveal.

Skandia Investment Management Ltd (SIML) has handed a £40m Best Ideas mandate to River and Mercantile following Roger Whiteoak's departure from AXA Framlington.

Skandia has unveiled the ten managers who will each control 10% of its new European Best Ideas fund.

Skandia will hold a series of adviser seminars in March focusing on investment strategies and solutions in both bull and bear markets.

Skandia's profits rose 29% to £173m last year following the third quarter launch of its investment platform, Selestia Investment Solutions.

Skandia Investment Group (SIG) has appointed Richard Vincent as product development director and Steve Kowal as head of global fund group relationships.
