SIPP specialist Momentum Pensions has widened its range of investment choices to add passive, ethical and Sharia options as well as a guaranteed income investment and a tie-up with low cost fund provider Vanguard.

Financial advisers and planners will remain "vital" to Vanguard's future, says a senior UK executive at US fund manager Vanguard which has just launched a D2C investment service in the UK.

Vanguard has launched a direct to consumer platform offering “your chance to invest directly”.

Data and financial analysis provider FE has launched its first pure passive fund awards to coincide with the first anniversary of its FE Passive Crown ratings.
