Mariana, Goldman Sachs and Socius Technologies are pleased to announce a new collaboration to support the UK Structured Products market.
The arrangement will see Mariana licensing the Socius Technologies’ Structured Product administration platform. Investec – which in 2021 announced that it would not launch any further retail structured product plans in the UK – has used this platform for three years, and the IFAs registered on the www.InvestecForAdvisers.com platform will be able to seamlessly rollover maturing Investec products to the www.MarianaForAdvisers.com platform. As part of the innovative process to allow IFAs to rollover maturing product from one platform to the other, IFAs will be able to choose from an exclusive range of Structured Products issued by Goldman Sachs.
Nev Godley from Mariana said, “Working in collaboration with Goldman Sachs and Investec, this solution provides us with the perfect opportunity to accelerate the growth of our business and provide IFAs with an on-going digital experience that they have become familiar with through use of the Investec platform. Having been active in the creation and distribution of structured product to the UK adviser market for the past 9 years, Mariana are looking forward to building out new relationships within the UK adviser community through this initiative.”
Laura Stojcevic, Managing Director at Goldman Sachs and Head of UK and Ireland Structured Sales was quoted as saying, “With Investec having been very successful in selling structured products to the UK market for over 12-years, we were keen to be involved at outset and provide some continuity to advisers seeking to re-invest their maturing client assets in a new range of structured products that we will be creating for them. We look forward to supporting both Mariana and the UK’s adviser community via this collaborative effort.”
David Macdonald, CEO of Socius Technologies Group Limited commented, “We are delighted to welcome Mariana as a new client of Socius and look forward to working with them as we seek to further develop and enhance the digital experience for the UK advisor community.”
