The ARIA Investment Platform SIPP has no establishment charge and an annual fee of £250.
Investors are also able to access ARIA’s All Terrain Discretionary Portfolio strategy, paying a flat 1% pa fee, rather than the £250.
Head of strategic partnerships James Tothill, who joined the company from Henderson Global Investors in July last year, said: “While we have portfolio management relationships with a number of SIPP and QROPS trustees, we have teamed up with the five-star Defaqto-rated Liberty Pensions in the UK to provide a very low-cost pension wrapper and DFM solution.”
Tothill also confirmed access to ARIA’s other discretionary fund management services on its platform would also be available within the eSIPP. These include propositions run by Morningstar and Parala.
The Parala strategies include Macro Multi-Asset Cautious Income, Macro Multi-Asset Balanced and Macro- Multi-Asset Dynamic Growth strategies – each offering investors different allocations to assets, depending on their risk profile.
Parala Capital, which constructs the strategies, is a leading macro-economic investment specialist focusing solely on macro-economic investing based on the academic research of its founding partners, professors Allan Timmermann and Russell Wermers.
“Increasingly international advisers are looking to outsource the management of their clients’ portfolios, and the feedback we have had suggests the choice of three different DFM options, all with different investment approaches, with a competitive total fee that includes the platform cost, trustee fee and investment management charge is very attractive,” added Tothill.
