Royal London joins Sesame providers

Royal London will offer a range of pensions and at-retirement products through Scottish Life, along with personal and business protection products through Bright Grey.

The company joins providers Aegon, Aviva, Friends Life, LV=, Partnership, Prudential, PruProtect and Zurich with the proposition forming part of SBG’s expanded range of offerings from which adviser firms can choose as they build for success in the RDR world.

Sesame Bankhall Group CEO, George Higginson, said: “Scottish Life and Bright Grey are both strong intermediary brands and excellent additions to our restricted advice service, which already offers a wide range of high calibre providers and products for advisers and their clients to choose from.

“Royal London’s participation is another example of SBG’s commitment to continually improve our range of adviser propositions.

“The response to our new technology-driven service has been very encouraging and it is now starting to gain real traction in the market as firms increasingly appreciate the efficiency benefits it can deliver to advisers.

“As a broad-based financial services group SBG is committed to offering its customers choice and is investing heavily in its expanded range of offerings to enable professional advisers to deliver an excellent service to their clients – whatever their business model.”
