Santander Asset Management has added two portfolios to its Portfolio Investments range, including a global emerging equity and dividend income strategies.

The Santander Global Emerging Equity Portfolio will use a multi-manager process, allocating funds to global emerging markets portfolios and regional specialists.

The Dividend Income Portfolio - managed by Hak Salih - will aim to deliver a 'reasonable level of income' with long term capital growth investing primarily in UK and European equities.

Tom Caddick, head of multi-manager at Santander Asset Management UK, said, 'Santander Asset Management is committed to the Multi Manager approach and we see this as an area of real growth for the business.

'This growth is only possible by listening to and responding to customer needs.

'Adding these two new propositions to our Portfolio Investments range gives our customers a wider choice of growth and investment options with Santander Asset Management UK.'
