The Sentry Group’s network of 250 non-aligned professional advisers will gain access to a suite of seven FPI SMAs on the OneVue platform. The Sentry Group of adviser services about $5 billion of client funds under advice.
Sentry Group Executive Chairman and CEO, Murray Hills says that by expanding its Compass private label range of platforms, Sentry is providing more choice in practice solutions to its advisers and their clients.
“Our SMA service continues to gather momentum and the combination of this with our platform partner OneVue represents a compelling and different proposition for advisers and their clients alike, while still delivering value for money,” Mr Hills says.
Sentry chose OneVue as a partner to develop the new Compass Fund products, which includes the seven FPI SMA Model portfolios on both its IDPS and Super offering.
