IFA Promotion announces Scottish Life International as its 31st sponsor
IFA Promotion today announced Scottish Life International has become its latest sponsor, demonstrating further support from the investment sector towards IFAs.
This brings the number of companies that sponsor IFAP to over 30, with the majority of sponsors from within the investment, protection and pensions arena, but with fast-growing support from mortgage lenders and technology enablers.
Scottish Life International was launched in 1996 as a joint venture between The Scottish Life Assurance Company and Dresdner RCM Global Investors. They are now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Royal London Group based in the tax-efficient environment of the Isle of Man. Scottish Life International markets a range of capital-protected investment and life assurance products and to date, has achieved funds under management in excess of 550 million.
Douglas Law, Marketing Manager of Scottish Life International commented, This partnership with IFA Promotion highlights our continuing commitment to the IFA sector. Scottish Life International recognises the importance of independent financial advice and we believe that this alliance with IFAP will mutually benefit ourselves and IFAP members.
David Elms, Chief Executive of IFA Promotion, said, IFAP sponsorship has shown a steep increase recently, signifying the faith that key providers and companies have in independent advice in a depolarised world. Continued interest from the investment sector strengthens the relationship that we have for our IFA members and they can remain assured that this trend is set to continue.
