W1M launches Retirement Managed Portfolio Service to deliver sustainable life-long income

New solution will help advisers support clients transitioning into retirement, responding to the growing demand for simple, resilient income solutions.

London, UK – Monday 21st September 2026 – W1M Wealth Management Ltd ("W1M" or "the firm") has today launched its Retirement Managed Portfolio Service (RMPS), a new investment solution designed to help financial advisers support clients as they move from accumulating wealth to drawing a sustainable income in retirement.

Developed over the past two years, the RMPS has been built specifically around the priorities of clients in retirement, helping them balance the need for long-term growth with the resilience required to support withdrawals throughout later life. The solution is founded on three core principles: simplicity, resilience and flexibility, providing advisers with a straightforward and scalable approach to retirement investing.

The RMPS has been designed to address the three key challenges faced by retirees: maintaining purchasing power throughout retirement, ensuring savings last for potentially decades, and reducing the impact of market volatility on retirement outcomes. By combining long-term growth potential with a dedicated focus on portfolio resilience, the solution aims to help investors remain on track through changing market conditions while continuing to support sustainable income withdrawals.

The launch comes as increasing numbers of retirees enter drawdown and rely on invested assets to support their retirement lifestyle. At the same time, retirement income has become a key area of regulatory focus, with advisers seeking solutions that can help deliver consistent and sustainable client outcomes throughout the decumulation phase. The Retirement MPS has been developed specifically for the adviser market, offering a platform-friendly, professionally managed solution that is simple to implement and easy to integrate into existing retirement planning processes.

The Retirement MPS has been designed to complement W1M's existing Managed Portfolio Service range, creating a natural progression from accumulation to retirement. Clients invested in W1M's MPS portfolios can transition into a corresponding retirement portfolio, maintaining continuity of investment philosophy and portfolio management throughout their investment journey.

The Retirement MPS will be available across W1M's adviser platform network, supporting broad accessibility for financial advisers and their clients. The proposition will initially launch on twelve key adviser platforms, including 7IM, Aviva, Transact, Aberdeen Wrap, Aberdeen Model Manager, Fidelity, Quilter, WealthTime (Novia), Parmenion, M&G Wealth, Fundment and Platform One with rollout across the remainder of W1M's platform panel coming over the new few months. This phased approach will allow advisers to begin using the solution immediately while ensuring widespread availability across the adviser market.

George Bromfield, Head of Adviser Solutions at W1M, commented:

“Financial planning for retirement is fundamentally different from wealth accumulation, yet many investors continue to use solutions that were designed for a completely different stage of life. As clients increasingly rely on their investment portfolios to generate additional income over potentially decades of retirement, advisers need solutions that reflect those changing objectives.

We've developed the Retirement Managed Portfolio Service to make that transition as straightforward as possible. It provides a resilient investment approach designed to address the key risks retirees face, while giving advisers a simple, plug-and-play solution that sits naturally alongside our existing Managed Portfolio Service.”
