Wealth manager atomos has selected Willis Towers Watson (WTW) to deliver multi-asset investment offerings for its retail investment clients across the UK.

Under the three-year strategic agreement, atomos’ clients will gain access to fund managers that are usually out of the reach of retail investors.

They will also receive improved investment management and risk controls as well as incorporation of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) requirements in investment plans.

In addition, atomos will provide its clients with access to alternative and private market offerings.

The deal will see WTW offering three core investment opportunities to atomos, with one of these being investment management via five existing undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities (UCITS) funds.

WTW will also provide model portfolio solutions (MPS) on retail investor platforms and discretionary portfolio fund management (DFM) for high net-worth clients through retail investor platforms.
