The firm has registered 11 of its funds for distribution in Italy so far, including a number of its high yield and emerging market bond funds, European equity, climate focused and one of its flagship Stewardship funds.
Cristóbal Méndez de Vigo, head of distribution & business development at F&C, said: “Italy is a very attractive growth market and we are very excited about our collaboration with Allfunds for the distribution of our wide range of investment funds. This agreement shows our long-term commitment to the Italian market.”
F&C already uses the Allfunds distribution platform in Spain and Latin America.
