The UK-based wealth manager Fidelity Worldwide Investment has unveiled details of a new fund partnership programme - Access - to deliver a new way of working with its fund partners across its global platform businesses.

Access is an inclusive programme which focuses on Fidelity’s commitment to open architecture, unbiased guidance investment-led solutions. The programme aims to engage with Fidelity’s customers including individual investors, advisors and employers, in the UK and globally, the firm said in a statement.

“As a business we firmly believe that offering choice through open architecture provides the best outcome for our customers, for fund managers and our industry,” said Ed Dymott, head of business development at Fidelity Worldwide Investment.

Over the last three years, Fidelity has invested significantly in order to grow its platform business and respond to the changing needs of its customers. The Access programme is launched at the same time as Fidelity plans to invest significantly in growing its UK distribution business.

As at 30 June 2013, Fidelity had more than $3 trillion in customer assets under management.
