Parmenion adds RBC Brewin and Morningstar portfolios
Parmenion has added DFM portfolios from wealth manager RBC Brewin Dolphin and investment manager Morningstar to its adviser platform.
The RBC Brewin Dolphin MPS and Passive Plus MPS ranges add 19 model portfolios.
The 12 portfolios from Morningstar are from its Morningstar Active, Income and Passive ranges.
The 31 portfolios will span a range of risk grades.
Parmenion has been focusing on broadening its MPS offering to advisers in 2022. Earlier in the year it added model portfolios from Brooks Macdonald, Schroders, LGT and Tatton Investment Management.
Martin Jennings, CEO at Parmenion, said: “We are delighted to bring further model portfolios from prestigious and respected DFMs to our platform today. RBC Brewin Dolphin and Morningstar have long track records managing money in all market conditions and will be an asset to our offering to advisers.
“Today’s change will support our ambition to be the platform of choice for any adviser running a centralised investment proposition.”
