About Standard Life Wealth

Standard Life Wealth

Our investment management service is built on the knowledge and experience of the Standard Life Group, which has been investing wisely to fund pensions and life assurance policies for over 180 years.

Standard Life have been at the forefront of liability driven investments – which means we focus on delivering the amount of cash needed at the end of the investment period to meet a specific goal. Our corporate colleagues look after £145.8 billion of assets (as at 31/03/10), using liability driven investments to fund thousands of people’s pensions; Standard Life Wealth uses the same liability driven investment philosophy to help individuals plan their future income and secure their personal goals.

Standard Life Wealth will set up a series of investment portfolios to support each life goal, with a clear focus on delivering to the appropriate timescale and risk profile. While we draw on Standard Life Group’s knowledge and experience, we are not limited in our choice of investments. Our team of analysts monitor and select investments from across the whole of the market.

Traditional investment solutions tend to 'hug' their benchmarks and few managers have the skill to be able to make returns regardless of market conditions. It is Standard Life Wealth's willingness to be measured on producing an absolute return over cash over a three year period that sets us apart.

Furthermore, because we are actively managing the money, our Client Portfolio Managers will adjust each portfolio to respond to changing market conditions and changing client needs. To help us deliver for our clients, we have a unique capability, called the Strategic Investment Allocation Fund. Used as part of a diverse portfolio, the fund is designed to mitigate some of the risks associated with financial investments. It helps to minimise the impact of market falls providing more reliable investment performance and increasing the certainty of us delivering the client’s individual investment goals.

The advanced strategies we bring to private client portfolios have been recognised in the industry with Standard Life Wealth winning a prestigious Private Asset Manager’s Award (PAM) for Most Innovative Investment Product or Service 2009.
