Hansard has added Guinness’ multi asset balanced and growth strategies to its mirror fund unit linked offering, International Adviser can reveal.
Brewin Dolphin has been appointed investment advisers by Guinness Global Investors (formerly Guinness Asset Management), meaning both funds are labelled as ‘PoweredBy’ Brewin.
They follow Brewin’s US$ Global Asset Allocation and Tactical Asset Allocation, with fund selection leveraging the firm’s established fund research capabilities and experience.
The funds are US dollar focused, and non-UK situs, which Brewin said makes them ideal strategies for clients with international needs.
Jonathan Simons, director of Acorn International, which helps to market and distribute the Guinness funds to the international IFA community, said: “Over the last few years, we have seen increasing demand for such multi-asset funds from the advisers that we speak to, and we are absolutely delighted that Hansard have decided to add them to their range.
“Now more IFAs have the opportunity to access these highly popular funds and we are delighted to increase the access to Brewin Dolphin’s multi awarding winning offerings via Guinness. We look forward to working closely with Hansard with this offering going forward.”
Brewin Dolphin’s head of nationals, networks and international distribution, Ian Kloss, said: “I am excited about the partnership opportunities that the Hansard addition creates for advisers.”
Kloss, who was previously chief executive of Quilter International Singapore, added: “Brewin Dolphin’s investment expertise via the Guinness multi-asset funds works well for the clients of advisers who are based internationally and want to make the most of their investments, especially in the year ahead when higher inflationary pressures are forecast.”
