AboutOur Partners

We are very pleased to be joining the Ellen MacArthur Trust on this great adventure and helping the Trust and everyone sailing on Scarlet Oyster to achieve their goals.

At Skandia, our fresh approach to long-term investments is about helping you plan for the best by building solutions around you - solutions that focus on the funds and fund managers you invest in - not the financial products they sit within. It means you have the flexibility to build towards your goals and review your options as your needs change.

We believe in enabling people to take control of their investments; to understand how and where their money is invested. To do this we give you and your financial adviser access to hundreds of leading investment funds and a variety of tax-efficient ways to hold them. Our service includes the tools, services and expert back-up you need to build a portfolio that you control. One that meets your needs and matches your goals.
