Investors Trust and Isle of Man-based QB Partners have agreed a strategic partnership aimed at helping advisers with technical support on tax, trust, estate, pension, domicile, cross-border and other holistic planning issues.
In a statement on 8 December, David White, managing director of QB Partners said Investors Trust had been "extremely successful in growing their business in their chosen markets and QB Partners are delighted to have been selected to provide independent technical support to them".
Ariel Amigo, chief marketing officer and distribution officer at Investors Trust said: "All of this means that Investors Trust and QB Partners can provide our advisory network with all the support they need for HNW client issues and consolidates ITA's leading position and continues our commitment to grow the business further in the next 20 years."
White further said QB Partners has grown its consultancy business significantly in recent years: "Our technical consultants are all from life assurance backgrounds and have a combined experience of over 200 years in this sector, so we are a great fit for life assurance companies who wish to outsource their technical support.
"QB Partners are completely independent and in addition to providing support to several life assurance companies, we also work with investment platforms, pension providers and trust providers as well as directly supporting financial advisers, so we have a genuinely 360 degree view of the cross border market."
