The company said investors in the three countries will now be able to access its Global Absolute Returns Strategies Sicav, European Corporate Bond Sicav and Global High Yield Bond Sicav.
Jennifer Richards, co-head of European Business, SLI, said: “Standard Life Investments is serious about expanding globally and committed to Europe. We registered in Switzerland last year, expanded our German team at the start of the year, and have a real estate team based in Paris, so this was a natural progression for our European business.
“We already have a number of segregated and semi-institutional clients from these three countries investing in our Sicav range, but by expanding our network, this allows their private clients to invest in our funds, and we can now accept investments from an increasing European investor base – 14 countries in total.”
Standard Life Investments’ Sicav funds already have public distribution status in Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Germany, Netherlands, Ireland, Luxembourg, Norway, the UK, Switzerland, Spain and Hong Kong.
