Standard Life Savings CEO: advice launch is about tackling advice gap, not selling MyFolio

When Noel Butwell took over as Standard Life Savings chief executive last July, he certainly did not expect to be running an organisation under lockdown just nine months into the job. But tasked with running Standard Life’s platforms and advice arms smoothly, that is exactly what he has had to.

In this podcast he reveals the changes the business has made to 1825 have been received positively by its customers, and may herald a permanent move to advice over Zoom and videoconferencing. He also opens up about Standard Life’s new mass-market hybrid advice launch, and future plans for 1825, and the Wrap and Elevate platforms.
