Mason Stevens and Peter MacGregor partner to provide SMA



Managed account provider, Mason Stevens, and global equity manager, Peter MacGregor Capital Management, have partnered to offer a global equity separately managed account (SMA).
The SMA will be provided to selected independent financial advisers (IFAs) and their clients.

"Peters MacGregor's long-term and low turnover approach will suit a number of advisers who want an expert bottom up stock picker to partner with that blend well with other managers, are transparent and accessible."
