Third party investment account

In some instances a client may not want to move from an existing provider, although they would like the value and flexibility that investing on the Scottish Widows Platform brings. This is where a Third Party Investment Account can help.

Our Third Party Investment Account allows clients to retain the product features of their existing pension or offshore bond whilst being able to access additional investment opportunities through the Platform. It really is the best of both worlds. You can apply for the Accounts below through the Scottish Widows Platform.

Features and benefits

  • The Account provides access to a wide range of assets, giving savings the potential for capital growth and income.
  • Provides your client with a flexible means of investing.

Charging

The Account charge is a percentage charge based on the value of the assets under administration in the client’s Account.

For more information on our charges, take a look at our Easy to understand charges – at a glance.

Managing the account

Keep your clients’ Account in check and up to date.

Taking money out of an account

You can arrange regular withdrawals monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or yearly. You can take one-off withdrawals from available cash in your client’s Account at any time.

Closing an account

If you, or your client, change your mind regarding the Investment Account, the Account will be cancelled within 30 days of the customer receiving a cancellation notice. You can contact us by post at Scottish Widows Platform, PO Box 24065, 1 Tanfield, ​Edinburgh, EH3 1EY, or by email at service@scottishwidowsplatform.co.uk.

If your client passes away, we will hold any assets until instructed to sell.
