PanaceaIFA brings Standard Life Investments on board

Panacea , the online resource for directly regulated IFAs, has confirmed Standard Life Investments is to join its panel of sponsors.

Panacea enables product providers to connect with directly regulated IFA firms, offering members access to resources including planning tools, training and education.

This latest partnership follows Panacea’s link up with Cazenove Capital last month.

Derek Bradley, CEO of Panacea, said:

“I am delighted to have Standard Life Investments on board, supporting Panacea and our IFA members.  Standard Life Investments has some very valuable resources to bring to the community.

“With advisers focussing on ensuring they are RDR ready by the end of this year, the support and resources we provide are becoming more essential than ever to ensure their businesses are flourishing in the post RDR world.”

Michael Beveridge, Head of Wholesale Sales, Standard Life Investments

"We are committed to our intermediary clients and take pride in being a trusted asset manager. Partnering with Panacea extends this commitment by allowing us further access to advisers’ views and providing them with training and support materials from Standard Life Investments. Advisers know their clients' financial needs are unique. Panacea gives us further insight into these individual requirements which are always at the front of our minds and at the forefront of the investment decisions we take on a daily basis.”
