Vanguard, a corporate member of the Institute of Financial Planning, said the funds included a selection of passive products that track global indices and the Vanguard LifeStrategy funds. LifeStrategy funds are five mixed-asset funds with risk/reward allocations designed to meet investor needs.
Ongoing charges on all funds range from 0.15 per cent to 0.55 per cent with the average being 0.28 per cent.
Nick Blake, head of retail at Vanguard Asset Management, said: "Skandia has long been a leading and innovative platform and I am delighted that their many adviser clients will soon be able to access Vanguard's low-cost range of passive funds."

Graham Bentley, head of investment marketing at Skandia, said: "One of the advantage of our new unbundled charging structure is that we can now provide access to investment vehicles at keener prices. We are expanding the range of investment solutions available via the platform; the addition of the Vanguard funds is a strong indication of that and further enhances advisers' open architecture options."
