The UK economy's road to recovery will be arduous but do not write off its equity market, says Nathan Sweeney, investment manager at Architas.
AXA Wealth and Architas have become joint lead corporate members of the Institute of Financial Planning (IFP) for the twelve month period from 1 July 2013.
Architas chief investment officer Caspar Rock believes convertible bonds are an overlooked way of reducing volatility in an equity portfolio.
Architas has introduced a new charging option for its range of risk-rated passive investment funds.
Axa Wealth's Elevate platform has seen assets under (AUM)management increase 50% from £4bn to £6bn, according to first quarter results.
