Aviva Wrap re-opened to new business in January 2010. The platform makes available to advisers and customers over 1,500 funds and plans to have 2,000 available by the end of 2010.
Aviva Wrap includes Profiles - an online model portfolio and asset allocation tool that enables advisers to build and manage clients' model portfolios at the click of a mouse - and re-registration on and off the platform without charge.
Nicholas Burton, head of wrap at Aviva, said:
"Adding these funds gives advisers and their customers even more choice when it comes to building portfolios. The Aviva Wrap includes a wide range of funds and asset classes, and now has 90% coverage of the main rating agencies including OBSR. We will continue to add funds throughout the year."
Robin Stoakley, managing director UK Intermediary at Schroders, said:
"Whether investors are looking for yield or growth, to invest locally or globally, to diversify or specialise, the addition of the Schroder funds to the Aviva platform provides investors with a fund to suit any season. We are delighted to partner with Aviva and will continue to offer investors a wide variety of investment strategies."
