Schroder Investment Solutions’ model portfolio service (MPS) has been made available on the AJ Bell platform.

The model portfolio and multi-asset fund provider said the service was added to the platform following increased demand from financial advisers.

With the addition of AJ Bell’s platform, Schroders’ MPS is now accessible on 17 platforms across the UK market.

The MPS comprises of Active, Strategic Index, and Sustainable ranges, and is part of Schroder Investment Solutions, which manages more than £6.9bn of assets, as at 30 June 2025.

Each range includes between six and nine model portfolios, covering a wide range of risk profiles, all with an annual management charge of 15 basis points.

Commenting on the announcement, Schroders head of UK wealth, Jamie Fowler, said: “We are very pleased to be partnering with AJ Bell to make our managed portfolio services available on their platform.

“This partnership demonstrates our ongoing commitment to supporting advisers and their clients by offering a wide choice of investment solutions, designed to help them meet their financial goals.

“Our UK Financial Adviser Survey found that while third-party model portfolio services and multi-asset funds remain the most popular outsourcing solutions, there has been a notable shift towards multi-asset funds.

“Some 35 per cent of advisers expect to increase their allocations to multi-asset funds over the next 12 months. The survey also revealed that 34 per cent of advisers now outsource the management of more than half of their clients’ assets.”

AJ Bell product director, Mark Rendle, added: "We're pleased to add Schroders MPS services to the platform, adding further choice to the carefully selected range of third-party MPS providers, ensuring that advisers have access to the right solutions for their clients.”
