Suffolk Life looks at possible sale
LONDON (Reuters) - Suffolk Life, a life insurer with over 2.7 billion pounds in assets, said on Monday it had hired an adviser to consider a possible sale.
The company has appointed Fenchurch Advisory Partners to advise it after having received a number of expressions of interest, it said in a statement.
Suffolk Life, based in the eastern English city of Ipswich, specialises in self-invested personal pensions (SIPPS), which allow individuals to make their own investment decision but carry higher management fees. Sales of these have boomed since regulatory changes in April 2006.
