John Clougherty, director of collective investments at Norwich Union, said: “This is an important change for Norwich Union because it means that all our retail funds will carry the Norwich Union brand. Morley is a well known among institutional investors but using dual brands confused many customers and some financial advisers. This change is part of our drive to improve our range of collective investments and increase sales.”
