Standard Life Investments has expanded its distribution footprint as it attempts to break further into the European market.

Due to client demand, the global fund manager has announced that it had registered some of its most successful SICAV funds in France, Belgium and Italy.

It expands Standard Life's European institutional and wholesale markets to 14 countries.

Jennifer Richards, co-head of Standard Life's European business said it was committed to Europe in its bid to expand globally.

"We registered in Switzerland last year, expanded our German team at the start of the year, and have a Real Estate team based in Paris, so this was a natural progression for our European business," she said.

Richards said it was just the beginning of Standard Life's distribution in France, Belgium and Italy with a number of funds slated to be offered there next year.

Standard Life Investments' SICVA funds already have public distribution in Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Germany, Netherlands, Hong Kong, Ireland, Luxembourg, Norway, the UK, Switzerland and Spain.
