Fund management groups partnering with the platform include big named brands Columbia Threadneedle, abrdn, AllianceTrust and Jupiter Asset Management.
Doceo managing director Sam Buchanan, Managing Director at Doceo hailed the deal as an opportunity for both firms to offer a “more complete suite of services”, as well as greater transparency for investors.
