Scottish Widows has made Mark Harries and Simon Wood’s recently launched multimanager funds available through its pension platform. The group said the funds, run by its investment management subsidiary Swip, are being added due to increasing retail interest in fund of funds products. Swip Multimanager Diversity and Multimanager Select Boutiques launched in December. Simon Wombwell, Swip’s distribution head, said: “This initiative enables us to align the strengths of both Swip and Scottish Widows to deliver a robust fund proposition to our intermediary clients.”
