Positive Solutions, in association with Royal London, is hosting its latest series of “Wealth Synergy Events” for its IFA Partners across the UK.
The roadshows will run throughout September and have been designed to provide Partners with the opportunity to listen to industry experts giving their views on a range of important issues affecting the market. Partners will also have the chance to share ideas and best practice on developing their businesses.
Each of the roadshows will include an update from Positive Solutions, with CEO Jim Reeve sharing his thoughts on current business performance and the future landscape of the industry.
Scottish Provident and Bright Grey will take a fresh look at some of the technological developments making it easier to give advice in the protection market. Scottish Life will provide a pensions overview, including the latest news on pensions reform. Investec Asset Management will be looking at how fund managers consider risk when constructing portfolios.
Keith Gilmour, Marketing Director at Positive Solutions said:
“We are delighted to be working with Royal London and Investec Asset Management.
“When we held our last set of roadshows earlier in the year, we had record numbers of Partners in attendance. Building on the feedback we received then, we are continuing to update our Partners on the key issues impacting today’s client recommendations. Covering protection, pensions and portfolio risk management, these events are sure to appeal to a wide range of our IFA Partners.”
Andy Peters, National Partnerships Director at Royal London said:
“We’ve worked closely with the team at Positive Solutions to make sure Royal London delivers a powerful and highly relevant programme to partners. We look forward to sharing ideas, views and tactics that will help them to protect and grow their business now and in the future. Even in today’s challenging market place”
Darren Hymos, Head of Strategic Alliance at Investec Asset Management said:
“We look forward to taking this valuable opportunity to talk to our IFA partners at these roadshows. We hope to dispel some of the myths that surround investing and risk based on the straight-talking insights of Alastair Mundy, manager of our Investec Cautious Managed Fund.”
