How to blend multi-asset products within a CIP - and why now is a particularly important time to get this right
Join Simon Evan-Cook and Paul Ilott in an expert-led session aimed at financial advisers seeking to optimise their Centralised Investment Proposition (CIP).
Presented by Simon Evan-Cook of Downing Fox and Paul Ilott of Scopic Research, this expert-led session explores the concept of "blending" — combining different multi-asset products to achieve balanced risk, diversification, and alignment with client goals.
Against a backdrop of evolving markets and heightened risk of over-concentration, Simon and Paul explain how understanding investment styles, identifying good and poor practices, and making strategic product combinations can improve client outcomes and strengthen advisory propositions.
Watch the video and complete the questions below to obtain 40 minutes of CPD; the certificate form can be found here.
