Standard Life Investments to tap investment shift

Standard Life Investments, the US$270 billion investment management arm of British-listed life insurer Standard Life, is planning a major expansion in Asia to exploit investors' new-found appetite for diversified products.

Colin Clark, a director of global client group at Standard Life, told the South China Morning Post the company aimed to tap into the Asian market at a time "when yield has become less important and investors have started to look for capital returns in a range of products".
