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.
